Description:
Abstract:
The geology data set for this map includes arcs, polygons, and labels that outline and describe the general geologic age and type of bedrock of the Arabian Peninsula and selected adjacent areas. The geologic provinces data set includes arcs, polygons, and labels of geologic and petroleum provinces interpreted and designated by R.M. Pollastro from a number of literature and map resources to assist in the assessment of oil and gas resources for the USGS 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 the Arabian Peninsula and selected adjacent areas. 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 USGS Oil and Gas Assessment of the World.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Overall accuracy of both the geology and geologic province data sets are based on the accuracy of the general geology coverage. Original maps are traced onto mylar and scanned at a resolution of 300 dpi. The scanned images are converted to Arc GRIDs and then to Arc Vector coverages in Lambert Conformal Conic projection.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The Data set is a collection of ARC/INFO coverages that are topologically consistent. The fuzzy tolerance has been consistent through each processing step. A comparison between color hard copy and original paper map was carried out by visual comparison. Color plot in 1:2,000,000 scale was superimposed on original map in 1:2,000,000 scale and any detected errors were corrected in ARC/INFO.
Completeness_Report:
Generalizations on geology are made from original USGS 1:2,000,000 scale Geologic map and UNESCO 1:5,000,000 scale Geologic map of Europe, Eastern sheet. Several geological age subdivisions from geologic source maps are combined into single units. Although all polygons from the source maps are included in the data set, geology is simplified and attributed only by overall age; no break- down is made of the age into upper, lower, early, late, etc., nor are geologic units differentiated within any particular geologic age or region as they appear on the source maps.

Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: 4000
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:
Estimated maximum ground distance error in meters. A color hard copy of the Arabian Peninsula geology at 1:2,000,000 scale is superimposed onto the original Geologic Map of the Arabian Peninsula, 1:2,000,000 scale. For the Iraq portion of the Arabian Peninsula, a color hard copy of the Iraq geology at 1:5,000,000 scale is superimposed onto the original Geologic Map of Europe, Eastern sheet, 1:5,000,000 scale.

Process_Description:
Mylar is placed over the source map and geology polygons and inland water bodies are traced using a 00 rapidiograph pen. Latitude and longitude tics are carefully transferred from the source map to the mylar tracing and recorded. The mylar tracing is then scanned on a large-format Anatech scanner at a resolution of 300 dpi to create a TIFF image. The scanned TIFF image is then transferred to ARC/INFO, converted to an Arc GRID file, then to an Arc Vector coverage, and transformed to Lambert Conformal Conic projection. The geological attributes are then assigned to each polygon in ARCEDIT, using a modified or abbreviated geologic character designation standardized by the USGS World Energy Project.

Selected portions of the original data set are transformed to Lambert Conformal Conic projection and used as a general reference for the number, distribution, and location of oil and gas field centerpoints for the Arabian Peninsula and adjacent areas.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Proprietary data sets of latitude and longitude values for oil and gas field centerpoints are initially taken from the Petroconsultants International Data Corp., Houston, TX. They are used to create a point coverage of oil and gas field centerpoints for the Middle East Region and projected into Robinson projection by T. Klett and L. Osmonson of the USGS World Energy Project. Selected portions of both the data set and its respective coverage are then reprojected into Lambert Conformal Conic projection for use in this publication. Arc/Info is used to do map projections.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
The geology data set contains AREA, PERIMETER, -ID, and GLG attributes. AREA, PERIMETER, and -ID are calculated internally by ARC/INFO. Each polygon in the data set is assigned a GLG attribute which represents that surface formation's geologic age.
Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation:
A complete description of the GLG attribute can be obtained from the original Geologic Map of the Arabian Peninsula - I-270A.
