Petroleum Systems and Assessment of the South Florida Basin

The objective of the National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project is to
provide estimates of ?potential? additions to oil and gas reserves in priority
geologic provinces of the onshore and State waters portion of the United
States. ?Potential? additions mean those undiscovered oil and gas resources
that have geologic potential to be added to the U.S. reserve base over the next
30 years, a societally meaningful time frame relevant to all U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS) assessments.

The South Florida Basin, the focus of this report, is part of the Florida
Peninsula Province (USGS Province 50). The South Florida Basin was assessed for
undiscovered conventional oil and gas resources. New data and interpretations
were included in this assessment, particularly data on oil geochemistry and
petroleum systems of the South Florida Basin. This report includes the
description of the petroleum systems and the geologic assessment units that
were assessed, and the numerical results of the 2000 oil and gas assessment.
The 1995 USGS oil and gas assessment of the South Florida Basin is included for
comparison.

美国国家油气资源评价项目（National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project）的目标，是对美国陆上及州属海域重点地质省带的油气储量"潜在"新增量开展估算。此处的"潜在"新增量，指未来30年内具备地质潜力、可纳入美国油气储量基础的未发现油气资源；这一与美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey, USGS）所有评价工作均相关的30年时间跨度，兼具重要的社会意义。

本报告的研究对象——南佛罗里达盆地，隶属于佛罗里达半岛省（美国地质调查局编号50号省带）。本次评价针对南佛罗里达盆地的未发现常规油气资源展开，并纳入了全新的实测数据与地质解译成果，尤其是南佛罗里达盆地的石油地球化学及油气系统相关数据。本报告涵盖了本次评价所涉及的油气系统、地质评价单元的详细说明，以及2000年油气资源评价的数值计算结果；同时收录了1995年美国地质调查局对南佛罗里达盆地的油气资源评价结果，以供对比参考。
