OFR10 Preliminary Results of Seismic and Magnetic Surveys off Delaware's Coast

The nature and occurrence of subsurface resources, whether ground water, minerals, or petroleum, are controlled by the geologic history and framework of any particular area.

This assessment was later summarized by Benson (1976) with particular emphasis on the possibilities for petroleum occurrence.
