Assessment of Undiscovered Petroleum Resources of the Yenisey–katanga Basin

The petroleum resource assessment of the Yenisey-Khatanga Basin exemplifies the United States Geological Survey assessment process for basins in the Arctic. This assessment of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (collectively referred to as petroleum) resources is one of several conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey Circum-Arctic Oil and Gas Resource Appraisal program. Using a geology-based methodology, the USGS estimates the mean undiscovered, conventional petroleum resources in the province to be approximately 24 billion barrels of oil equivalent of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids.
