Chapter D, Bristol Bay Fossil Fuel and Geothermal Energy Sources for Local Use in Alaska Figure D3. Location map of the central Bristol Bay Energy Region, showing reported coal occurrences (black dots) discussed in the text. existence and connected by migration pathways at the time hydrocarbons are generated. This section considers each of these necessary elements of petroleum systems in turn to evaluate whether conventional oil and gas resources may play a role in supplying rural energy in the Bristol Bay Energy Region. Distribution of sedimentary basins. Sheet 2 illustrates the distribution of Tertiary sedimentary basins (after Kirschner, 1988) that could potentially host petroleum systems in and near the Bristol Bay region. Other areas are underlain by igneous, metamorphic, or thermally overmature sedimentary rocks that are incapable of supporting a petroleum system. Geophysical data and limited exploration drilling demonstrate that the North Aleutian basin is the largest, thickest, and most likely to contain effective source rocks, reservoir rocks, and hydrocarbon traps, particularly along its southern margin near Nelson Lagoon and Port Moller. The northern part of the basin that extends into the Nushagak–Bristol Bay Lowlands near Naknek and Dillingham is much thinner and is unlikely to contain exploitable oil or gas accumulations because of low thermal maturity and limited source rock potential. Entirely offshore to the southeast of the Alaska Peninsula are the Shumagin, Tugidak, and Shelikof basins, all of which are smaller, relatively shallow, and have attracted limited exploration interest. Source rocks. Outcrop studies have documented oil- prone source rocks in the Mesozoic Kamishak and Kialagvik Formations (Wang and others, 1988; Decker, 2008). These units are known to exist only in the belt of sedimentary rocks with low thermal maturity southeast of the Bruin Bay fault system near the southeast border of the Bristol Bay Energy Region. These source rocks are not known to be present beneath the main part of the North Aleutian basin, and available data indicate they are also absent from the remainder of the Bristol Bay energy region (Sherwood and others, 2006; McLean, 1977, 1979; Decker, 2008). Geochemical data indicate Mesozoic sources generated the oil and gas that occurs in a cluster of natural seeps near Puale Bay and Wide Bay on the southeast side of the Alaska Peninsula (Magoon and Anders, 1992; Blodgett and Clautice, 2005). Migrated oil or gas derived from these Mesozoic sources have not been documented in the younger Tertiary formations of the North Aleutian basin. Farther northwest in the lower Nushagak River drainage, occurrences of iridescent sheen on standing water in boggy environments have been mistaken for oil seeps. Field studies and laboratory analyses have shown that the sheen observed in many of those locations is due to natural bacterial iron oxide films common in swampy settings and surficial peats, rather than oil seepage from the subsurface (Decker and others, 2005; Miller and others, 1959). In another case, a thin sheen of oil on the Nushagak River itself was attributed to human pollution (Miller and others, 1959). These findings are consistent with regional geologic information that suggests a lack of oil-prone source rocks in the northern and western parts of the Bristol Bay Energy Region.
