National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska Geochemical Data; USGS

The National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA) is located in the primitive wilderness of Alaska's North Slope. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began some geological surveying in this area in the early 1900's, and the U.S. Navy began geological and geophysical surveys and drilling in 1945 to appraise the petroleum potential of the Reserve. GEOCHEMICAL DATA Includes microfilm reels of Phase I, II, and III geochemical analyses of well cores. See also the NPPRA legacy data archive:http://energy.cr.usgs.gov/
