The authors gratefully acknowledge Kelsey Anderson and Joseph Skutca for their early contributions to the exploration target research in NPRA and state lease sale regions. The authors also gratefully acknowledge Kirk Sherwood for guiding us through the federal data request process for Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) well data. Significant improvements were made to the map from feedback and discussions with Kirk Sherwood, Paul Decker, Don Krouskop, Steve Moothart, Kevin Frank, Dan Seamount, Steve Davies, Meredith Guhl, David Boyer, Jhonny Meza, and Maduabuchi (Pascal) Umekwe. The map benefited from cartographic expertise provided by Sean Conlon and Marta Mueller.
The DGGS Energy Resources Section generates new, unbiased information on the geologic framework of frontier areas in Alaska that may host undiscovered oil, gas, coal, and geothermal resources. Northern Alaska is a world-class petroleum province that includes some of North America's most prospective onshore regions. Despite this potential, the North Slope remains underexplored relative to other sedimentary basins around the world. New exploration ventures are hampered by the limited amount of published geologic data, and much of the available information is reconnaissance in nature. This comprehensive study documents the drilling target by play type from public domain sources for 548 exploration wells on the North Slope and adjacent offshore areas in Beaufort and Chukchi Seas.
