price-supply curves which show the relationship of price to economically
recoverable resource.
Estimates of UTRR for the entire OCS
range from 66.6 Bbo at the F95 fractile to 115.1 Bbo at the F5 fractile with a
mean of 85.9 Bbo. Similarly, gas estimates range from 326.4 to 565.9 Tcf with a
mean of 419.9 Tcf. On a BOE basis 54 percent of the potential is located within
