The oil shale zones in descending order are: Bed 44, A Groove, Mahogany Zone, B Groove, R-6, L-5, R-5, L-4, R-4, L-3, R-3, L-2, R-2, L-1, R-1, L-0, and R-0. Each raster cell represents a one-acre square of the land surface and contains values for either oil yield in barrels per acre, gallons per ton, or isopach thickness, in feet, as defined by the grid name: *_b (barrels per acre), *_g (gallons per ton), and *_i (isopach thickness) where "*" can be replaced by the name of the oil shale zone.</abstract><purpose>Increasing energy demand, changing economics, new technology, and geopolitical issues have spurred renewed interest in other energy alternatives such as oil shale, heavy oil, and tar sands. The USGS Energy Resources Program has previously conducted extensive field and geologic research on these commodities and is initiating an effort to inventory and make these important legacy information assets accessible to the public, land managers, and other decision-makers. In addition, the Energy Program is scoping the geologic, technical, economic, and environmental factors controlling the production and use of these energy sources and will provide recommendations for future research in order to meet the energy needs of the United States.</purpose><supplinf>This document serves as metadata for all oil shale resource models as defined by the grid name: *_b (barrels per acre), *_g (gallons per ton), and *_i (isopach thickness) where "*" can be replaced by the name of the oil shale zone.</supplinf></descript><timeperd><current>publication date</current><timeinfo><sngdate><caldate>2009</caldate></sngdate></timeinfo></timeperd><status><progress>Complete</progress><update>As needed</update></status><spdom><bounding><westbc Sync="TRUE">-108.752154</westbc><eastbc Sync="TRUE">-107.751338</eastbc><northbc Sync="TRUE">40.166825</northbc><southbc Sync="TRUE">39.267678</southbc></bounding><lboundng><leftbc Sync="TRUE">21270.866297</leftbc><rightbc Sync="TRUE">105815.201297</rightbc><bottombc Sync="TRUE">30272.113272</bottombc><topbc Sync="TRUE">128875.363272</topbc></lboundng></spdom><keywords><theme><themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt><themekey>geoscientificInformation</themekey></theme><theme><themekey>Oil shale resources</themekey><themekt>Gateway to the Earth draft 9 28-Jun-2002</themekt><themekey>Economic geology</themekey></theme><theme><themekey>Energy resources</themekey><themekey>Oil shale</themekey><themekey>Oil</themekey><themekey>Resource assessment</themekey><themekey>Earth science</themekey><themekey>Natural resources</themekey><themekey>U.S. Geological Survey</themekey><themekey>USGS</themekey><themekey>Geology</themekey><themekt>USGS Energy Resources Science Center Thesaurus</themekt><themekey>Eocene Green River Formation</themekey></theme><place><placekey>United States</placekey><placekey>Piceance Basin</placekey><placekey>CO</placekey><placekey>Colorado</placekey></place></keywords><accconst>none</accconst><useconst>This dataset is appropriate for regional-scale analysis at scales of 1:100,000 or less.</useconst><natvform Sync="TRUE">Raster Dataset</natvform><ptcontac><cntinfo><cntpos>IT Specialist</cntpos><cntaddr><address>Denver Federal Center, MS 939</address><address>PO Box 25046</address><addrtype>mailing address</addrtype><city>Denver</city><state>CO</state><postal>80225</postal><country>USA</country></cntaddr><cntvoice>303 236 5088</cntvoice><cntfax>303 236 0459</cntfax><cntemail>tmercier@usgs.gov</cntemail><cntorgp><cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, Energy Resources Science Center</cntorg><cntper>Tracey J.
