The State of Alaska funded this study with additional support from the U.S. Geological Survey's National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (STATEMAP award number G12AC20187). Work by, and discussions with, Gil Mull, Dave LePain, and Dave Houseknecht were invaluable to this study. Ken Helmold, Dolores van der Kolk, Grant Shimer, Pete Flaig, Julie Houle, Meg Kramer, and Don Krouskop also shared their knowledge of the Umiat-Gubik area. Richard Kemnitz provided many insights regarding field logistics. Our field camps at Umiat were operated by Horst Expediting and 70 North. Helicopter pilot Tom 'Rat' Ratledge safely transported the crew during field campaigns. Trish Ekberg, Nina Harun, and Mike Hendricks served additional geographic information system (GIS) support. Simone Montayne managed metadata for this report. Kristen Janssen provided manuscript formatting and layout. We thank Dave LePain and Tom Homza for thorough reviews that improved the clarity and content of this paper.
DGGS bedrock geologic mapping at a scale of 1:63,360 answers critical questions about the petroleum potential throughout the North Slope. The Energy Resources Section disseminates results of its work in public presentations and in high-quality, open-source, peer-reviewed publications. Umiat-Gubik and surrounding areas have long been recognized for their importance in understanding the geologic evolution of northern Alaska. Undeveloped, sub-commercial (as of this writing) petroleum accumulations occur along doubly plunging anticlinal traps at three long-recognized fields in the map area: Umiat (mostly oil), Gubik (gas), and East Umiat (gas).
