Summary
Abstract:
The geology data set for this map includes arcs, polygons, and
labels that outline and describe the general geologic age and
type of bedrock of Iran. The geologic provinces data set includes
arcs, polygons, and labels of geologic and petroleum provinces interpreted
and designated by R.M. Pollastro from a number of literature and map
resources to assist in the assessment of oil and gas resources
for the USGS World Energy Project. The oil and gas field
centerpoints data set is a point coverage that marks the
approximate centerpoints of oil and gas fields in Iran. Political
boundaries are provided to show the general location of country and/or other
reference 'political' boundaries.
Purpose:
This digital geologic layer with selected structural features is
created specifically for the oil and gas assessment of Iran.
The data provide government, geological community, consultants, and
the general public with the important geological base that is used
to define geologic provinces and oil and gas field assignments for
USGS Oil and Gas Assessment of the World.
The oil and gas field centerpoints data set is part of
a proprietary database, and field names or any other data
associated with the field centerpoints cannot be
attributed or displayed. Furthermore, portions of this
database covering coastline and country boundaries contain
intellectual property of Environmental Systems Research
Institute, Inc. (ESRI), and are used with permission. End
users are permitted to use these data sets for their own
internal use, including derivative work, but are prohibited
