The data set includes arcs, polgons, polygon labels, and attributes for province number and province name. The data set was compiled using the geologic layer or cover from Open- File Report 97-470C geo8 as a reference base. The map is being used map to assist in the assessment of oil and gas for the World Energy Project. Purpose: This data set provides one of the strategic tools to assist in the U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project. This digital geologic province map with selected stratigraphic and structural features was created specifically for the oil and gas assessment of selected provinces of South Asia. Supplemental_Information: Polygons and line work for the provinces determined by Ben E. Law and Craig J. Wandrey. These province boundaries were intended to encompass areas For data management purposes the world was divided into eight energy regions corresponding approximately to the economic regions of the world as defined by the U.S. Department of State. South Asia (Region 8) is represented on this CD-ROM (see Reference Map), and includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Each region was then further divided into geologic provinces on the basis of natural geologic entities and may include a dominant structural element or a number of contiguous elements. Some provinces contain multiple genetically related basins. Geologic province boundaries for South Asia were delineated using data from UNESCO geologic maps, and other tectonic and geographic data (see Selected References). Offshore province boundaries were defined by the 2000 meter bathymetric contour from the UNESCO geologic maps (see References). Each province was assigned a unique number; the first digit is the region number. An attempt was made to number the provinces in geographical groups; onshore, offshore, and combined on and offshore. In South Asia, the numbering starts in the west.

The attributes and contact data were reviewed by U. S. Geological Survey scientists only. Accuracy and source of attribute data is further described in the introduction on map. Logical_Consistency_Report: Based on visual inspection and review with check plots and digital image examination gross errors are eliminated. Test conducted Jan. 1998 Completeness_Report: Some attributes were combined and some polygons generalized because much of the detailed attribute data and polygons were not needed for this assessment project. The geologic coding scheme was based on the World Energy Project standard which incorporates geologic age, and general lithologic type. Some attribute errors may exist because of cartographic difficulties in original map and inconsistancies between source materials. Attributes and contacts were verified via visual editing and review.
