Description:

Abstract:: South America is part of Region 6 (Central and South America) for the World Energy Assessment. South America was divided into 107 geologic provinces as background for prioritization and assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources in petroleum provinces. The boundaries of geologic provinces are required for the assessment as oil and gas data must be allocated to a geographic entity so that decisions can be made as to which provinces are priority for the assessment. Many sources of geologic information were used to define the province boundaries in South America, and several versions of the map were reviewed. Of the 107 geologic provinces defined in South America, about 40 have had some oil and gas production to date.
Purpose:: The purpose of the geologic province boundary map is to allow us to allocate oil and gas field and well information to known geographic entities prior to prioritizing and assessing petroleum provinces of South America. Once the provinces were defined, the total oil and gas production from the petroleum-bearing provinces of South America were compared to the rest of the world to determine which provinces in South America were priority for assessment.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:: The province attributes are province name (pname) and province number (pnum). Province names were taken from published reports and reflect the most common local usage. Province numbers were created for this report, and are used in the USGS assessment of South America.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Many references from the literature, as well as reviews by local experts, were used to determine the placement of the geologic province boundaries mapped for this report. Although local differences exist in the placement of these boundaries, the boundaries in this report are the most common accepted boundaries based on the geology.

Completeness_Report:

The entire continent of South America was divided into provinces, such that no area was exempt from being included in a geologic province. For provinces that extend offshore, the offshore province boundary ranged between 2000m and 4000 m water depth, depending upon the geology of the offshore area.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:: The geologic boundaries shown on this map were drawn 7500000 scale version of the geologic map. The horizontal accuracy of the boundaries should not be considered accurate at a scale larger than the scale of the source map.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: The boundaries of the geologic provinces were inked on a mylar overlay of the geologic base map at a scale of 7500000. The boundary layer was scanned at 300 dpi using a large-format scanner to create a TIFF image file. The TIFF was converted into an Arc Grid, and then into an Arc Vector coverage and attributed with province name (pname) and province number (pnum).
