World Assessment Unit Geological Characterizations, 2000 World Petroleum Assessment
This shapfile includes arcs and polygons that describe
U.S. Geological Survey defined
petroleum resource Assessment Units of the World. Each
assessment unit is defined as a mappable volume of rock
within a total petroleum system that encompasses fields
(discovered and undiscovered) that share similar geologic
traits and socio-economic factors. The fields inside an
assessment are a sufficiently homogenous population that a
single methodology of resource assessment is applicable.
Assessment units are described by U.S. Geological
Survey research scientists on the basis of available
geologic knowledge, exploration and production histories,
and extensive literature searches. Assessment units are
identified with a numeric code derived from the numeric
code of the World Geologic Provinces defined by the U.S.
Geological Survey World Petroleum Assessment 2000.
Most assessment units are contained within a single
geologic province, but there are numerous cases where
units span more than one province. Summary results
of the assessment are presented as attributes
of this shapefile.
