Newest Oil and Gas Assessment from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)

From U.S. Geological Survey (USGS):

Our newest #oilandgas assessment takes us to the Rocky Mountains! We estimate 528 million barrels of oil & 2 trillion cubic feet of gas in the Niobrara Interval of the Wind River Basin's Cody Shale. These are undiscovered, technically recoverable resources: https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/fs20183076

This isn’t our first assessment in the Wind River Basin-we last assessed it in 2005-but this is the first time we’ve released an estimate for the Niobrara Interval of the Cody Shale.
