Abstract: The East Coast U.S. Outer Continental Sheirs potential oil and gas reservoirs are one of the few remaining chances for alleviating the nations energy problems through conventional methods. There are many methods used to obtain scientific data for petroleum exploration. One of the first reconnaissance surveys is the air magnetometer. The magnetometer shows the location of subsurface structures by magnetic attraction. The next step is the gravitymeter, which is a reconnaissance tool to locate potential areas for seismic surveys. The seismic surveys actually delineate the subsurface anomalies, Finally, drilling provides additional insight into the rock characteristics and their relationship to the mapped seismic anomaly. To date, only about 3% of the U.S. Continental Margin has been leased by federal and state governments for drilling. This small fraction accounts for almost 19% of our current domestic natural gas production.
