Summary
Abstract:
The geology data set for this map includes arcs, polygons, and labels that outline and describe the general geologic age and rock type for South Asia. The geologic provinces data set includes arcs, polygons, and labels of geologic and petroleum provinces interpreted and designated by Ben E. Law and Craig J. Wandrey from a number of literature and map resources to assist in the assessment of oil and gas resources for the U.S.G.S. 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 South Asia. Political boundaries are provided to show the general location of country and/or other reference 'political' boundaries.  
Purpose:
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 U.S.G.S. Oil and Gas Assessment of the World.
