The purpose of the play map is to illustrate the geologic boundary of the play as defined for the 1995 U.S. National Assessment. The play was used as the fundamental assessment unit.

Data sources used in this process:
The main attribute for the play in this coverage is the play number, in which the first two digits represent the province number, and the next two digits represent the play number. Other attributes include the play name, and the region and province names and numbers. Also included are the output fractiles for the distribution of estimated ultimate recovery (in barrels of oil or millions of cubic feet of gas), the distribution of volume of potential reserve additions of gas (in billions of cubic feet) and, for continuous-type plays other than coalbed gas, the distribution of volume of potential reserve additions of liquid (oil for oil plays, NGL for gas plays; in millions of barrels).
The play boundary was meant to delineate the gross boundary of the geologic elements that define the play.
Plays with insufficient data or that were given low probability of containing an accumulation of minimum size, were not quantitatively assessed during the 1995 National Oil and Gas Assessment. Plays that were not quantitatively assessed contain only the attributes defining region/province/play names and numbers.
The play boundaries were defined on the basis of the surface and subsurface geology of the play, and the oil and gas production within the play. The province geologist was required to defend the geologic boundary of the play in a formal play review meeting.
