Apologies if this has been posted already. But in late 2018, the USGS came out with its latest assessment of undiscovered but technically recoverable oil and gas resources in the Wolfcamp and Bone Springs formations of the Permian and Delaware basins. Interesting info and some nice maps of the formations. Click on the report link (pdf) midway down the page

Liz- Posted in the Permian News of General Interest thread under this group, but never hurts to see the eye-popping numbers again.

Darn! Your thread is one that I really keep up with but somehow I missed your post on this report. And by the way, many thanks for that thread.

I’m getting an error when I click on the link. Is that because of the government shutdown? Thanks!

Don’t know if the government shutdown has anything to do with it, but the report doesn’t appear accessible at the moment. However, here is a page with a very general wrap-up of the report info as well as the maps.
