Description:

Abstract:

The USGS Central Region Energy Team assesses oil and gas resources of the United States. The onshore and State water areas of the United States comprise 71 provinces. Within these provinces, hydrocarbon plays were defined and assessed. Each of these provinces is defined geologically, and most province boundaries are defined by major geologic changes. The province boundaries were drawn on the county lines that most closely followed the natural geologic boundaries.

Purpose:

These coverages illustrate the geologic boundaries of provinces as defined for the National Oil and Gas Resource Assessment Project. Hydrocarbon plays are generally defined and assessed within provinces.

Supplemental_Information:

Oil and gas provinces are listed here by number, with their geographic extent and name:

digital tabular data in support of the 1995 U.S. National Oil and Gas Assessment

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

We ran lins2cov.aml on the .lin files (from USGS DDS-35) to create the province coverages. The lins2cov.aml takes files from the NOGA 95 Spatial Data Disk (DDS-35), and reformats into Arc/Info Generate format (ASCII) files. They are then imported into ArcInfo coverages using the GENERATE command, subsequently they are cleaned to remove any potential overlap of polygons (using .000001 weed and fuzzy tolerances). Region/province numbers and names are appended to the file using lookup information acquired from tables on the NOGA 95 Tabular Information Disk (DDS-36). The individual province coverages were merged to create one national coverage.
