This is a Point data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.
The horizontal datum used is D_WGS_1984.
The ellipsoid used is WGS_1984.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257224.

This dataset is intended to depict the general location and production type of oil and gas fields in the Caribbean region as derived from the Petroconsultants (2002) database.
Petroconsultants International , Inc., 20021014, Petroleum exploration and production database for 2002:Petroconsultants Inc., Houston, Texas [database available from Petroconsultants, Inc., P.O. Box 740619, Houston, Texas 77274-0619]: Petroconsultants International Data Corp., Inc., Houston, Texas.
The accuracy of the oil and gas field data, including the locations of the fields, is wholly dependent upon the accuracy of the data in the 2002 version of the Petroconsultants International database. For purposes of mapping the Caribbean region, data were assumed to be accurate at a scale of 1:2,670,000.
The positions of the oil and gas fields were assumed to be accurate as presented by the latitude-longitude information in the Petroconsultants database.
Information is limited to reporting in the Petroconsultants (2002) database. Small oil and gas fields may not be represented in the database. No attempt was made to update database before its use.
Information is limited to reporting in the Petroconsultants (2002) database. A gas to oil ratio of 20,000 cubic feet to 1 barrel was used to determine predominate commodity production of a field. Nearly all attributes omitted from dataset to protect proprietary nature of data.
