ARCTIC OIL RESERVES MAPPED - 31 MAY 2009
An estimated 30% of the world's undiscovered gas and 13% of its undiscovered oil may be in the Arctic, according to a map published on Friday.
The map is the culmination of an assessment carried out by the US Geological Survey (USGS).
Writing in the journal Science, its authors say the findings are "important to the interests of Arctic countries".
But, they add, they are unlikely to substantially shift the geographic pattern of world oil production.
According to the new map, the majority of oil is likely to be found underwater, on continental shelves.
