Benson, R.N.2008-03-282008-03-281979-01http://udspace.udel.edu/handle/19716/3146It is now possible to evaluate some of the earlier assessments and offer tentative conclusions about the hydrocarbon resource potential of the Baltimore Canyon trough, a major northeast-southwest trending sedimentary basin off the Mid-Atlantic coast of the United States. For this purpose the Delaware Geological Survey has examined more than 2,500 miles (4,022 km) of seismic reflection profiles, the results of some offshore magnetic and gravity surveys, the results of the COST B-2 well, and the nonproprietary results through 1978 of exploratory drilling by the petroleum industry on federal leases.en-UShydrocarbon resource potentialBaltimore Canyon troughsedimentary basinMid-Atlantic coastseismic reflection profilegravity surveymagnetic surveyexploratory drillingpetroleum industryTechnical Report
