Service Description: This digitally compiled map includes geology, geologic provinces, and oil and gas fields of the Former Soviet Union. The map is part of a worldwide series on CD-ROM by the World Energy Project released of the U.S. Geological Survey . The goal of the project is to assess the undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world and report these results by the year 2000. For data management purposes the world was divided into eight energy regions corresponding approximately to the economic regions of the world as defined by the U.S. Department of State. The Former Soviet Union (Region 1) includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, Byelarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. Each region was then further divided into geologic provinces on the basis of natural geologic entities and may include a dominant structural element or a number of contiguous elements. Some provinces contain multiple genetically related basins. Geologic province boundaries for the Former Soviet Union were delineated using data from a number of geologic maps and other tectonic and geographic data (see References). Offshore province boundaries were defined by the 2000 meter bathymetric contour from the map edited by Gabrielyants, 1990 (see References). Each province was assigned a unique number; the first digit is the region number; province numbers follow. An attempt was made to number the provinces in geographical groups; onshore, offshore, and combined on and offshore. The numbering starts in the west. Oil and gas field data from Petroconsultants International Data Corporation worldwide oil and gas field database were allocated to these provinces. The geologic provinces are being further subdivided into petroleum systems and assessment units in order to appraise the undiscovered petroleum potential of selected provinces of the world. For a more in-depth discussion on the geologic provinces and their relative ranking in terms of total known petroleum volume, see Klett and others, 1997. Specific details of the data sources and map compilation are given in the metadata file on this CD-ROM and in the page 4. Smaller stratigraphic subdivisions of Phanerozoic rock were combined to simplify the map and to maintain consistency with other maps of the series. Precambrian rocks are undivided. Oil and gas field markers represent field centerpoints published with permission from Petroconsultants International Data Corp., 1996 database. This map was compiled using Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) ARC/INFO software. Political boundaries and cartographic representations on this map were taken, with permission, from ESRI's ArcWorld 1:3M digital coverage, have no political significance, and are displayed as general reference only.

Title: Map Service Showing Geology, Oil and Gas Fields and Geological Provinces of the Former Soviet Union
Author: Felix M. Persits, Gregory F. Ulmishek, Douglas W. Steinshouer
Comments: This map service includes geology, center points of oil and gas fields, geologic provinces, and political boundaries in the Former Soviet Union. 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. The data sets were designed originally in ESRI's ARC/INFO ver. 7.0.4 and 7.1.2 system. The data provides governments, the geological community, consultants, and the public with important information on the geological basis used to define provinces and oil and gas fields for USGS oil and gas assessments of the World. The map is a visual summary of the data gathered for region 1. The oil and gas field center points data set are part of a proprietary database and field names or any other data associated with the field centerpoints can not 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 from using and redistributing these data individually or in a derivative work to third parties.
