Abstract:
-
This coverage includes arcs, polygons, polygon labels and regions 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 extensive literature searches. Total petroleum systems are identified
with a numeric code derived from the numeric code of the World Geologic
Provinces as defined by the U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project.
Most total petroleum systems are contained within a single geologic province,
but there are numerous cases where systems span more than one province.
Summary results are presented as attributes of this coverage.
-
Purpose:
-
This coverage is intended to delineate the Total Petroleum Systems used
in the preparation of World Petroleum Assessment 2000 and to present summary
assessment results.
-
Supplemental_Information:
-
For data management purposes the world is divided into eight energy regions
corresponding approximately to the economic regions of the world as defined
by the U.S. Department of State. Except in the case of the United States,
most region and province boundaries are not controlled by the presence
of political or administrative boundaries. Geologic province boundaries
are determined by World Energy Project Regional Coordinators and others
on the basis of natural geologic entities and may include a dominant geologic
structural element or a number of continuous elements. Provinces are divided
into Total Petroleum Systems defined by the presence of source rocks, migration
paths, traps and seals. Total petroleum systems are numbered from the geologic
province that they are most closely associated with and they inherit the
first digit reference to the energy region. Because many total petroleum
systems overlap with one another, this coverage has Arc/Info region topology.
Each total petroleum system constitutes a region.

There is a known problem reprojecting Arc/Info coverages projected in the
Robinson map projection to other map projections in Mapinfo, Arcview and
other G.I.S. software. It is suggested that users of G.I.S. software other
than Arc/Info access the version of this coverage projected in Geographic
coordinates (Decimal degrees of Latitude and Longitude), tps_geog, also
distributed on this CD-ROM, or the shapefile, tps_geog.shp. At the time
of this metadata, it is unclear whether Arc/Info region topology can be
successfully imported into other Geographic Information Systems. It may
be advisable to use the shape file of this data.
