The NPRA is a significant part of the north Alaskan petroleum province, a lightly explored region that is estimated to hold more than one-third of total U.S. undiscovered, technically recoverable, oil and natural gas resources based on the most recent U.S. Department of the Interior (USGS & MMS) estimates (Bird, 1999). The NPRA is a geologically complex region that includes prospective strata within passive margin, rift, and foreland basin sequences. Multiple source rock horizons have charged several regionally extensive petroleum systems. A variety of plays are present involving extensional and compressional structures and stratigraphic traps in shelf and turbidite systems.
