"Reserves" quoted in this report are from Petroconsultants, Inc., 1996 Petroleum Exploration and Production database and other area reports from Petroconsultants, Inc., unless otherwise stated. 

     Figure(s) in this report that show boundaries of the Total Petroleum System(s), assessment units, and pods of active source rock were originally compiled using geographic information system (GIS) software and then later drafted into the present illustrations. Political boundaries and cartographic representations were taken, with 

permission, from ESRI's ArcWorld 1:3 million digital coverage, have no political significance, and are displayed for general reference only. Oil and gas field centerpoints, shown on drafted figure(s) are reproduced, with permission, from Petroconsultants, Inc., 1996 Worldwide Oil and Gas Field database. 

     Also included as figures are events charts that show the time of deposition of essential rock units; the time processes, such as trap formation, necessary to the accumulation of hydrocarbons took place; the critical moment in the petroleum system; and the preservation time, if any. The format is that proposed by Magoon and Dow (1994).
