The MMS Pacific OCS report documents the oil and gas commodities, resource categories, data and methodologies of the assessment of the federal offshore area of California, Oregon and Washington.
Its significant findings include:
Nearly 11 billion barrels of undiscovered oil and 19 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered gas in the region may be recoverable using existing technology. Relatively large volumes of undiscovered oil may exist offshore central and southern California, due largely to the presence of Monterey-type strata, which are potential source and reservoir rocks. Half of the undiscovered, conventionally recoverable oil and gas in the region may be economically recoverable under existing conditions.
Nuclear power is a better alternative, for now. Long term we are in trouble without renewable sources. There is not an unlimited supply of any kind of energy.
