description:
|
This map service includes geology, major faults, geologic provinces, and political boundaries in the Asia Pacific Region. This compilation is part of an interim product of the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project (WEP) and part of a series on CD-ROM.Although a geologic map displays the geographic distribution of the different geologic units and rock types for numerous purposes, this data set was compiled primarily for the World Energy Project as part of a required strategic base for assessing the petroleum potential of this region. For this purpose, the map provides an outline of the general geographic distribution of both known or hypothetical petroleum-potential formations and units, that is, sedimentary rocks and basins, and areas containing igneous and metamorphic rocks which have virtually little or no potential. The map was also compiled, in part, to provide a basis for outlining the geographic and petroleum provinces. This basic geologic data set, combined with numerous others, such as tectonic and burial histories, distribution of known oil and gas fields, distribution and quality of reservoir rocks, organic geochemistry, etc., will ultimately difine the basis for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas in the Asia Pacific Region. |
