Select Oil and Gas Publications

The following are select resources in the stewardship of the Arizona Geological Survey relevant to Arizona's oil and gas potential. All resources contain links to the items' locations on the AZGS document repository.

This list is not comprehensive and the Arizona Geological Survey is not the responsible party for oil and gas resources in Arizona. Please visit the Arizona Oil and Gas Conservation Commission website run by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality for the most authoritative information on oil and gas in Arizona.
