Geochemistry and Geophysics

The USGS Organic Geochemistry Laboratory researches chemical and geological data to develop an understanding of the physical and chemical processes of hydrocarbon generation, migration and accumulation.

The Geophysical Processing Group performs specialized 2-D and 3-D seismic reflection data processing and interpretation using state of the art hardware and software for the Energy Resources Program and other clients upon request. The Group maintains the National Energy Research Seismic Library (NERSL) and have been acquiring seismic reflection data since the mid 1970's.

NEW REPORT >> Implementation Plan for the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program,
Data Preservation Report (PDF - 1.11 MB)

As part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the USGS is tasked with creating a National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program. This Program will: (1) archive geologic, geophysical, and engineering data, maps, well logs, and samples; (2) provide a national catalog of such archival material; and (3) provide technical and financial assistance related to the archival material. The Program is authorized at $30M per year for five years but no funds have yet been appropriated.
