Abstract:
-
This coverage includes arcs and regions that describe U.S. Geological Survey
delineated Total Petroleum Systems of the World. Each petroleum system
is defined as a mappable entity encompassing genetically related petroleum
that occurs in seeps, shows and accumulations (discovered and undiscovered)
that have been generated by a pod, or by closely related pods, of mature
source rock, together with the essental mappable geologic elements (source,
reservoir, seal and overburden rocks) that control fundamental processes
of generation, migration, entrapment and preservation of petroleum. Total
petroleum systems are described by U.S. Geological Survey research scientists
on the basis of exploration and production histories, and extensive literature
searches. Total petroleum systems are identified with a numeric code derived
from the numeric code of the World Geologic Provinces defined by the U.S.
Geological Survey World Energy Project. Most total petroleum systems are
contained within a single geologic province, but there are numerous cases
where systems span more than one province. This coverage presents geologic
characterizations of the elements defining each total petroleum system.
-
Purpose:
-
This coverage is intended to delineate the Total Petroleum Systems used
in the preparation of World Petroleum Assessment 2000 and to present geologic
characterizations of the source rocks, migration paths, traps and seals
defining each system.
-
Supplemental_Information:
-
For data management purposes the world is divided into eight energy regions
corresponding approximately to the economic regions of the world as defined
by the U.S. Department of State. Except in the case of the United States,
most region and province boundaries are not controlled by the presence
of political or administrative boundaries. Geologic province boundaries
are determined by World Energy Project Regional Coordinators and others
on the basis of natural geologic entities and can include a dominant geologic
structural element or a number of continuous elements. Provinces are divided
into Total Petroleum Systems defined by the presence of mature or post-mature
source rocks, migration paths, traps and seals. Total petroleum systems
are numbered from the geologic province that they are most closely associated
with and they inherit the first digit reference to the energy region. Because
many total petroleum systems overlap with one another, this coverage has
Arc/Info region topology. Each total petroleum system constitutes a region.
