Abstract: Papers in this bulletin summarize major conclusions reached during both phases of our work on deep natural gas resources. Chapters B and C define the areal extent of deep drilling and known resources in the United States. In chapter C, geologic controls of deep natural gas resources are summarized by basin and region. Although not complete, this summary is meant to introduce and establish a framework for subsequent chapters. Chapters D and E present a platetectonic framework for deep natural-gas resources (chapter D) and a sequence of Laramide deformation for the Rocky Mountain region with respect to the emplacement of deep natural gas accumulations (chapter E). Chapters F through I discuss reservoir rocks including a summary of reservoir pressures in deep sedimentary basins (chapter F), microporosity trends in reservoirs using mercury-injection porosimetry (chapter G), and
