Several oil rushes occurred in the early part of 20th century, primarily in two phases (1902-1905 and 1922-1926) in the area of Puale Bay and Becharof Lake. Unfortunately all of these wells produced only traces of hydrocarbons. Several subsequent deeper wells were drilled in Mesozoic strata of this region and nearby Wide Bay to the south, but like the earlier efforts, did not prove to be economical. Each oil and gas seep from this region is plotted on the map accompanying this report and their coordinates are listed in a table. Original published information concerning the seeps is reproduced. In addition, a single prominent solid hydrocarbon locality cited in the early literature is also discussed. Geochemical data is given for some of the seeps. Purpose: In light of the upcoming oil and gas lease sale in the Bristol Bay region October 26, 2005, the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) is undertaking an assessment of possible oil- and gas-bearing rocks on the Alaska Peninsula. Due to the renewed interest in this region, it was deemed necessary to compile a detailed listing of all proven oil and gas seeps in the area of Puale Bay, Becharof Lake, and Wide Bay, and plot their occurrences on a modern map base for use by petroleum explorationists. Supplemental_Information: Attribute information for the following tables (entities) is included in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribute_Information" section. Each table is listed and described in detail under its own heading starting "Entity_Type_Label."

The type of location information used is noted with each occurrence in the accompanying report. Coordinates for the point data were created visually from previously published maps using MapInfo Professional 7.5 and exported into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Geologic data used in this compilation are the data from sources as noted in the "Source_Information" section.

Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The type of location information used is noted with each occurrence. Coordinates for the point data were created visually from previously published maps using MapInfo Professional 7.5 and exported into an Excel table. Locations were extracted from inch to mile maps, dating back to the 1920s, georeferenced in the ArcMap GIS environment to a 1:250,000-scale topographic basemap. The basemap was generated by stitching together four separate topographic maps using the All-Topo software package. The locations may have an uncertainty of 100 meters or more.
