Welcome to the Central Energy Resources Team

The Central Energy Team, in the USGS Energy Resources Program, provides the best-available assessments of Energy Resources (coal, oil, natural gas). These assessments are critical to the Nation's welfare and are based on:

• A comprehensive understanding of the Geologic Framework in which energy resources occur and
• A thorough understanding of the Geologic Processes that produce accumulations of energy resources and consider the economic, technical, and environmental factors affecting the availability and recoverability of those energy resources.
