The USGS quantitatively assessed undiscovered gas resources within two shale gas assessment units in the Karoo Province (table 2). For shalegas resources, the estimated mean totals for the Whitehill-Collingham Shale Gas AU are 16,993 billion cubic feet of gas (BCFG), with an F95–F5 range from 0 to 62,132 BCFG; 170 million barrels of natural gas liquids (MMBNGL), with an F95–F5 range from 0 to 632 MMBNGL. Estimated mean totals for the Prince Albert Shale Gas AU are 27,518 BCFG, with an F95–F5 range from 0 to 101,118 BCFG; 275 MMBNGL, with an F95–F5 range from 0 to 1,028 MMBNGL. The major source of geologic risk for shale-gas resources within the organic-rich shales of the Karoo Province is the retention of some portion of the generated gas within the source rock following any phases of gas migration.
