Pollastro Publication_Date: 1997 Title: Map showing Geology, Oil and Gas Fields, and Geologic Provinces of the Arabian Peninsula Edition: first Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: map Series_Information: Series_Name: World Energy Data on CD-ROM Issue_Identification: Open File Report 97-470B Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Denver,Colorado Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Description: Abstract: The geology data set for this map includes arcs, polygons, and labels that outline and describe the general geologic age and type of bedrock of the Arabian Peninsula and selected adjacent areas. The geologic provinces data set includes arcs, polygons, and labels of geologic and petroleum provinces interpreted and designated by R.M. Pollastro from a number of literature and map resources to assist in the assessment of oil and gas resources for the U.S.G.S. World Energy Project. The oil and gas field centerpoints data set is a point coverage that marks the approximate centerpoints of oil and gas fields in the Arabian Peninsula and selected adjacent areas. Political boundaries are provided to show the general location of country and/or other reference 'political' boundaries. Purpose: The data provide government, geological community, consultants, and the general public with the important geological base that is used to define geologic provinces and oil and gas field assignments for U.S.G.S. Oil and Gas Assessment of the World. Supplemental_Information: There are several data sets divided into directories on the CD-ROM: 1. ARC_COVR directory Contains original UNIX ARC/INFO(ver. 7.0.4) coverages in Lambert Conformal Conical projection. 1.1 geo_2a - Surficial geology of the Arabian Peninsula. Item 'GLG' is in coverage's feature attribute table. 1.2 prov_2a - Geological province boundaries for the Arabian Peninsula outlines areas of common geologic structures or petroleum systems. Items 'CODE' and 'NAME' are included in the coverage's feature attribute table. 1.3 fld_2a - Oil and Gas Field Centerpoints for the Arabian Peninsula. This point coverage is a general representation of the number, distribution, and location of oil and gas fields. This data set is part of a proprietary database and field names or any other data can not be attributed or displayed, nor can the actual coverage be supplied on this CD-ROM except as part of the map composition. Not included. 1.4 reg_2a - U.S.G.S. region boundary between Region 2 (Middle East- North Africa), Region 7 on the east (Sub-Saharan Africa), and Region 1 on the northwest (Former Soviet Union). These regions are three of the eight regional subdivisions in the U.S.G.S. Oil and Gas assessment of the World. 1.5 pol_2a - Country boundaries provided for reference only and are used with permission from ESRI. Read further for permitted uses. 1.6 shore_2a - Shorelines and ocean polygons for the limited area surrounding the Arabian Peninsula. 1.7 refmp_2a - World coverage in Robinson Projection for use with the supplementary refmap.aml which draws a reference map in the upper-right corner. 1.8 reg2a_rb - USGS Region 2 boundary coverage in Robinson Proj. for use with the supplementary refmap.aml, to display a reference to what portion of Region 2 is covered in these data sets. ********************************************************************** 2.

Native_Data_Set_Environment: Hardware : Sun Sparc Server 1000 with Solaris 2.5.1 GIS Software : Workstation ARC/INFO ver. 7.0.4 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Overall accuracy of both the geology and geologic province data sets are based on the accuracy of the general geology coverage. Original maps are traced onto mylar and scanned at a resolution of 300 dpi. The scanned images are converted to Arc GRIDs and then to Arc Vector coverages in Lambert Conformal Conic projection. Logical_Consistency_Report: The Data set is a collection of ARC/INFO coverages that are topologically consistent. The fuzzy tolerance has been consistent through each processing step. A comparison between color hard copy and original paper map was carried out by visual comparison. Color plot in 1:2,000,000 scale was superimposed on original map in 1:2,000,000 scale and any detected errors were corrected in ARC/INFO. Completeness_Report: Generalizations on geology are made from original U.S.G.S. 1:2,000,000 scale Geologic map and UNESCO 1:5,000,000 scale Geologic map of Europe, Eastern sheet. Several geological age subdivisions from geologic source maps are combined into single units. Although all polygons from the source maps are included in the data set, geology is simplified and attributed only by overall age; no break- down is made of the age into upper, lower, early, late, etc., nor are geologic units differentiated within any particular geologic age or region as they appear on the source maps. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: A comparison between color hard copy and original paper maps was carried out by visual comparison. Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: <= 4000 m (ground distance) Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation: A color hard copy of the Arabian Peninsula geology at 1:2,000,000 scale is superimposed onto the original Geologic Map of the Arabian Peninsula, 1:2,000,000 scale. For the Iraq portion of the Arabian Peninsula, a color hard copy of the Iraq geology at 1:5,000,000 scale is superimposed onto the original Geologic Map of Europe, Eastern sheet, 1:5,000,000 scale.

Latitude and longitude tics are carefully transferred from the source map to the mylar tracing and recorded. The mylar tracing is then scanned on a large-format Anatech scanner at a resolution of 300 dpi to create a TIFF image. The scanned TIFF image is then transferred to ARC/INFO, converted to an Arc GRID file, then to an Arc Vector coverage, and transformed to Lambert Conformal Conic projection. The geological attributes are then assigned to each polygon in ARCEDIT, using a modified or abbreviated geologic character designation standardized by the USGS World Energy Project.

Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: A more in-depth discussion of the geologic province CODEs and their relative ranking in terms of total known petroleum volume is given in the USGS Open File Report 97-463. Detailed_Description: Entity_Type: Entity_Type_Label: Geologic province Entity_Type_Definition: The geologic provinces are boundaries subjectively interpreted using the general geology as a reference and consist of areas with similar geologic, geographic, structural, and/or petroleum characteristics. Entity_Type_Definition_Source: U.S. Geological Survey Attribute: Attribute_Label: NAME Attribute_Definition: The geologic province name assigned to an area with similar geologic, geographic, structural, and/or petroleum characteristics.

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition: Geologic province NAMEs correspond to areal similarities in geologic, geographic, structural, and/or petroleum characteristics. Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition_Source: The geologic province data set is produced from the interpretation and combination of several resources, including the bedrock geology, the distribution of oil and gas fields, structural geology, and geography. Numerous sources of geologic information are used for the final interpretation and designation of these provinces by R.M. Pollastro. Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: The geologic provinces data set contains AREA, PERIMETER, -ID, CODE, PNUM, and NAME. AREA, PERIMETER, and -ID are calculated internally by ARC/INFO. The "NAME" of the geologic province is indicative of the geologic, geographic, structural, and/or petroleum characteristics for which it was named. Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: A more in-depth discussion of the geologic province NAMEs and their relative ranking in terms of total known petroleum volume is given in the USGS Open File Report 97-463.
