This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.
The horizontal datum used is North American Datum of 1983.
The ellipsoid used is Geodetic Reference System 80.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.00.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257222.

The purpose of the cell map is to display the exploration maturity, type of production, and distribution of production in quarter-mile cells in each of the oil and gas plays and each of the provinces defined for the 1995 U.S. National Oil and Gas Assessment.

Data sources used in this process:
A sampling of cell locations and cell attributes were visually compared to a hard-copy plot of wells to identify errors.
A visual comparison was made using a sampling of cell locations and cell attributes with well locations and attributes. In particular, the values of latitude and longitude for the wells in WHCS were assumed to be accurate.
The cells were defined using the well data in the PI WHCS database. The WHCS database contains over two million wells for the U.S., which, although not a complete tabulation of all U.S. wells, is the most complete well database available for the United States.
The accuracy of the cells, as created by the FORTRAN program of D.H. Root and R.F. Mast, depends wholly upon the accuracy of the oil and gas well information in the version of the PI WHCS database. For the national scale of the 1995 Oil and Gas Assessment, the assumption was made that the data in WHCS were of sufficient accuracy for such a national-scale analysis.
