World Total Petroleum System Summary and Geological Characterization, 2000 World Petroleum Assessment

This shapefile includes arcs and polygons that describe U.S. Geological Survey delineated Total Petroleum Systems of the World. Each petroleum system is defined as a mappable entity encompassing genetically related petroleum that occurs in seeps, shows and accumulations (discovered or undiscovered) that have been generated by a pod, or by closely related pods, of mature source rock, together with the essental mappable geologic elements (source, reservoir, seal and overburden rocks) that control fundamental processes of generation, migration, entrapment and preservation of petroleum. Total petroleum systems are described by U.S. Geological Survey scientists on the basis of exploration and production histories, and...

Geologic Provinces of the World, 2000 World Petroleum Assessment, Assessed provinces only

This shapefile includes arcs and polygons that describe U.S. Geological Survey defined geologic provinces of the World. Each province has a set of geologic characteristics distinguishing it from surrounding provinces. These characteristics may include the dominant lithologies, the age of the strata, and the structural style. Some provinces include multiple genetically-related basins. Offshore province boundaries are generally defined by the 2000 meter bathymetric contour, but where appropriate are defined by the 4000 meter bathymetric contour. In some cases province boundaries are delineated by political boundaries, as in the case of The United States and Canada, because United States petroleum resources were assessed...

World Assessment Unit Summary and Geological Characterizations, 2000 World Petroleum Assessment

This shapfile includes arcs and polygons that describe U.S. Geological Survey defined petroleum resource Assessment Units of the World. Each assessment unit is defined as a mappable volume of rock within a total petroleum system that encompasses fields (discovered and undiscovered) that share similar geologic traits and socio-economic factors. The fields inside an assessment are a sufficiently homogenous population that a single methodology of resource assessment is applicable. Assessment units are described by U.S. Geological Survey research scientists on the basis of available geologic knowledge, exploration and production histories, and extensive literature searches. Assessment units are identified with a numeric...
