Assessment of Undiscovered Oil and Gas Resources of the East Greenland Rift Basins Province
Overview---
Northeast Greenland is the prototype for the U.S. Geological Survey’s Circum-Arctic Oil and Gas Resource Appraisal. Using a geology-based methodology, the USGS estimates the mean undiscovered, conventional petroleum resources in the province to be approximately 31,400 MMBOE (million barrels of oil equivalent) of oil, gas, and natural gas liquids.
