Camp\n \n Retired Distinguished Geological Advisor\, Ana darko Petroleum\n \n  \;\n \n Tight oil produc tion accounted for 68 percent of the total 13.6 mi llion barrels of oil per day produced in the U.S. during 2025. The Permian Basin is the leading tigh t oil producing region in the world with 6.5 milli on barrels a day produced in 2025. However\, the P ermian Basin is showing signs of declining product ion growth leading many to forecast peak oil rates within the next few years. Production from the ot her U.S. tight oil basins have not recovered from their pre-Covid peaks in 2019. Increased explorati on investment will be required to bring on new sup ply with current world oil demand of 103 million b arrels per day not expected to decline at least th rough 2050 based on multiple forecast scenarios. T here are several tight oil and gas plays in the U. S. that have not been adequately explored and test ed with modern horizontal drilling and multistage hydraulic fracture stimulation technology that cou ld lead to new discoveries to help meet future pro jected oil demand. This review focuses on source r ock reservoir and hybrid source rock play types th at are characterized by proven source rocks in the Michigan Basin\, Williston Basin\, Green River Ba sin\, and the Great Basin\, and a pure frontier pl ay in the South Georgia Basin.\n \n  \;\n \n B io\n \n Wayne K.
