Overview Many view the Rocky Mountain region as one of the highest potential producing regions in North America. In fact, a large percentage of the future recoverable reserves in the Lower 48 U.S. states have been attributed to this region. Historic development data, however, indicates that these reserve estimates may be grossly overstated. This report will allow you to confidently develop long term supply acquisition plans and provide a platform to redefine supply and transportation portfolios, enhancing portfolio purchase decisions.
