The Ellesmerian(!) petroleum system of the North Slope, Alaska, contains approximately 77 billion bbl of oil equivalent.<ref name=ch03r2>Bird, K., J., 1994, [http://archives.datapages.com/data/specpubs/methodo2/data/a077/a077/0001/0300/0339.htm Ellesmerian(!) petroleum system, North Slope, Alaska, USA], in Magoon, L., B., Dow, W., G., eds., The Petroleum System—From Source to Trap: [http://store.aapg.org/detail.aspx?id=1022 AAPG Memoir 60], p. 339–358.</ref> The age of the reservoir rock ranges from Mississippian to early [[Tertiary]]. Total organic carbon and assumed hydrogen indices from the marine shale source rocks indicate the mass of petroleum generated to be approximately 8 trillion barrels of oil<ref name=ch03r2 /> These estimates indicate about 1% of the generated hydrocarbons are contained in known traps. More importantly, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates another 1% is trapped in undiscovered accumulations in the Ellesmerian(!) petroleum system.<ref name=ch03r2 />

[[:file:petroleum-systems_fig3-12.png|Figure 1]] shows the Ellesmerian(!) petroleum system geographic extent. The limit is determined by the extent of the contiguous active source rock and the related petroleum accumulations.
