MAP SHOWING OIL AND GAS FIELDS AND GEOLOGIC PROVINCES OF AFRICA
Digitally compiled by Feliks M. Persits, Thomas S. Ahlbrandt, Michele L. Tuttle, Ronald R. Charpentier, Michael E. Brownfield, and Kenneth I. Takahashi
INTRODUCTION
This digitally compiled map includes oil and gas field centerpoints and
geologic provinces of Africa with some of these components extended into
geographically adjacent areas. This digital compilation is an interim product of
the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project (WEP) and part of a series on
CD-ROM.
The goal of the WEP is to assess the undiscovered, technically recoverable oil
and gas resources of the world. Results of this assessment were reported in the
World Petroleum Assessment 2000 - Description and Results (see references).
The first version of this CD-ROM was published in 1997 (see Persits and others,
1997). There are several reasons to issue version 2.0:
1. ESRI�s ArcView shape files were in Robinson projection. This projection in ArcView is an implementation that differs from one used in workstation ArcInfo
and therefore shows different values. This version 2.0 uses all the spatial data in
Geographic coordinates projected "on-the-fly" into Mercator projection.
2. The new more powerful ESRI's ArcGIS 8.1 software available now. This
version provides the data both in ArcGIS 8.1 and ArcView 3.2 formats.
3. Some off-shore province boundaries are now based on the 4000 meters
bathymetric contour.
4. Geologic Province ArcInfo coverage and ArcView shape file were populated
by geologic description and undiscovered oil and gas resources values as result
of publication the World Petroleum Assessment 2000 - Description and Results
5. The new advanced design was developed by the USGS World Energy Team
for publishing digital geologic maps on CD-ROMs.
Geologic province boundaries for Africa were delineated using data from different
geologic maps, publications, and other tectonic and geographic data. Each
province was assigned a unique number; the first digit is the region number.
Centerpoints of oil and gas fields are shown and were plotted with permission
from Petroconsultants International Data Corporation, 1996 worldwide oil and
gas field database.
Allocation of field data to geologic provinces provided a ranking of the provinces
by total known petroleum volume (see Klett and others, 1997). The WEP further
characterizes the geologic provinces by petroleum system and assessment units
in order to assess the undiscovered petroleum volume.
Specific details of map and data sources, and the procedure used in the
compilation of this geologic map of Africa are given in the metadata files and
described briefly in the text below.
Geologic Province ArcInfo coverage and ArcView shape file on this
CD-ROM were populated with undiscovered petroleum data as the
result of USGS World Petroleum Assessment 2000 (see DDS-60 by
USGS). This map is intended to show Geologic Provinces with
graphs ranking them by petroleum resources.
This map was compiled using Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.
(ESRI) ARC/INFO software. Political boundaries and cartographic
representations are used, with permission, from ESRI's ArcWorld 1:3M digital
coverages, have no political significance, and are displayed for general reference
only.
DATA PROCESSING STEPS
Data processing steps are similar to ones described on Surface Geology
Map on this CD-ROM.
