Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5848381
; ; ;
The remaining recoverable proved reserves of oil (including crude oil and condensate) and gas in the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf have been estimated to be 2.53 billion barrels of oil and 36.1 trillion cubic feet of gas, as of December 31, 1990. These reserves are recoverable from 715 proved active fields located in Federal waters. There are an additional 98 unproved active fields with no reserves estimates, for a total of 813 active fields located in Federal waters. For any field contained partly in State waters and partly in Federal waters, reserves are estimated for the Federal portion only. Original recoverable proved reserves are estimated to have been 10.64 billion barrels of oil and 129.9 trillion cubic feet of gas from 782 proved fields in the same geographic area. Included in the number are 67 fields that are depleted and abandoned; not included are the 98 unproved active fields. Estimates were made for individual reservoirs based on geologic mapping and reserve evaluation of 543 fields.
