The purpose of these files 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.

U.S. Geological Survey, Charpentier, R.R. (compiler), Klett, T.R. (compiler), Obuch, R.C. (compiler), and Brewton, J.D. (compiler), 1996, Tabular Data, Text, and Graphical Images in Support of the 1995 National Assessment of United States Oil and Gas Resources: U.S. Geological Survey Digital Data Series DDS-36.
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 volume of undiscovered resource for the conventional plays (in millions of barrels of oil, billions of cubic feet of gas, or millions of barrels of natural gas liquids). Only accumulations greater than or equal to 1 million barrels of oil or 6 billion cubic feet of natural gas are included in this part of the assessment.
The play boundary was meant to delineate the gross boundary of the geologic elements that define the play.
The play was mapped in part on the data contained in the PI WHCS database for wells (1990 update), and the Nehring Significant Oil and Gas Field File (1992 update). 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.
