A GIS Analysis of the Undiscovered Technically Recoverable Oil and Gas in the Little Snake Resource Area
22 May 2010
The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Little Snake Resource Area is located in Moffat and Routt counties in northwestern Colorado. The area includes all or portions of seven proposed wilderness areas, including Vermillion Basin, which have been nominated for protection by Colorado citizens. The area has also been targeted for oil and gas drilling. This analysis presents estimates of the technically recoverable undiscovered oil and natural gas resources in the Little Snake Resource Area; this analysis therefore represents an overestimate of the natural gas and oil actually recoverable because if the economic and environmental costs associated with drilling were included, the actual amount of recoverable oil and gas will be less.
