Unconventional Hydrocarbon Resources Map of North America

The unconventional hydrocarbon resources map of North America provides an overview of major sedimentary basins, plays and active production areas that are targets of gas and liquid extraction. The map has been created from datasets compiled from various sources by the West Virginia GIS Technical Center, Dept. of Geology and Geography, West Virginia University (WVU). This project is a partnership between the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), the US Department of Energy (DOE), and WVU.
