Play-based assessment of hydrocarbon resources in University Lands reservoirs, Permian Basin, West Texas Play-based assessment of hydrocarbon resources in University Lands reservoirs, Permian Basin, West Texas 2003

Oil and gas resources on University Lands, 2.1 million acres in 19 West Texas counties, constitute a major asset of the University of Texas System. The original oil in place (OOIP) of the 102 major University Lands oil reservoirs is calculated to be 7,520 MMbbl.
