Geologic Map of the Umiat-Gubik Area, Central North Slope, Alaska

Résumé du livre

A new 1:63,360-scale geologic map of the hydrocarbon-bearing Umiat-Gubik area of the central North Slope, Alaska, spans approximately 2,100 km at the northern extent of the Brooks Range foothills fold-and-thrust belt in the Colville foreland basin. This geologic map was prepared through assimilation of field observations, aerial and satellite imagery, seismic-reflection data, and well logs. Near-surface formation picks were available or derived for most of the area's 24 exploration wells, and two cross sections were constructed along lines of section that are constrained at depth by our interpretations of publicly available two-dimensional seismic data.
