Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Dr. Thomas Ahlbrandt Publication_Date: 199808 Title: Map showing Geology, Oil and Gas Fields and Geological Provinces of the Former Soviet Union Edition: 1 Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: map Series_Information: Series_Name: World Energy Data on CD-ROM - Open File Report 97-470E Issue_Identification: Former Soviet Union Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Denver, Colorado Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Other_Citation_Details: N/A Description: Purpose: The data provides governments, geological community, consultants, and public with important information on the geological basis used to define provinces and oil and gas fields for U.S.G.S. Oil and Gas assessement of the World. The map is a visual summary of the data gathered for region 1. Abstract: The map showing Geology, Oil and Gas fields and Geologic Provinces of the Former Soviet Union is a result of a GIS data set designed originally in ESRI's ARC/INFO ver. 7.0.4 and 7.1.2 system. There are the two files in root directory of the CD-ROM - 1. fsumap.pdf - Portable Document File (Adobe Acrobat). This file contains a complete color map of geology, oil and gas field centerpoints from the Petroconsultants 1996 database, geological provinces at the scale of 1:7,500,000, country boundaries from ESRI's ArcWorld (1:3 million) in an Adobe Portable Document File (PDF) format. The PDF file is 13 pages and includes geological provinces list sorted by Name and by Code. This PDF file is readable by means of the freeware program, Acrobat Reader 3 (or greater), which is included on the CD-ROM. This PDF file and accompanying software permits users to preview the map data contained in this product; understand methodoligies in creating the product; link from geologic province name or number to that specific area on the maps and also to print/plot these data. 2. fsu_geo.aep - ESRI's ArcExplorer 1.1 Project file. (Workspace is \fsu\views - source ArcView shape files). This file consists of geology, geologic province, oil and gas fields centerpoints, major cities, and latitude/longitude grid layers (ArcView themes). This file is readable by means of the freeware program, ESRI's ArcExplorer 1.1. It can be downloaded FREE from ESRI home page - http://www.esri.com/software/arcexplorer/index.html The rest of the information on the CD-ROM is in directory "FSU". That directory in turn has benn subdivided into directories ARC_COVR, EXPORT, METADATA (this file), PLOT, TEXT, VIEWS. -------------------- There are several data sets subdivided into directories - 1. ARC_COVR Contains original UNIX ARC/INFO (ver. 7.1.2) coverages in (Equidistant Conic projection - 1.1 geo1 - Surficial geology. Item "glg" in Feature Attribute Table. 1.2 prov1 - Geological Provinces that outline areas with common geological structures and petroleum systems. There are four additional items in the .pat - "code" - Geologic Province code "name" - Geologic Province name "type" - Province type (rank) "reg" - USGS World Region Code (equal to 1 for the Former Soviet Union). 1.3 fld1 - Centerpoints of Oil and Gas fields (Petroconsultants). There is additional item in Point Attribute Table (.pat) - "fie_type" - type of oil/gas field. 1.4 pol1 - Political boundaries (ESRI). 1.5 llf1 - Latitude/Longitude gradicule with cell size 4 by 6 degrees. 1.6 ocean - annotations for Ocean names. 1.7 city1 - Major cities (ESRI). 1.8 outline - outer map boundary (neatline). 1.9 info - a standard ARC/INFO info directory. 1.10 rus_wep.lut - Look-up table with shade codes for "glg". 1.11 index.lut - Look-up table with shade codes for Regions. *************************************************************** 2. EXPORT Contains several subsets in EXPORT and UNGENERATE formats - 2.1 ARC/INFO EXPORT data set (Equidistant Conic projection) consists of eight files in ARC/INFO INTERCHANGE format (*.e00 files without compression). File names correspond to the original coverages names (see section 1). 2.2 ARC/INFO UNGENERATE files (ASCII comma delimeted) for seven of major coverages except "ocean" (*.gen extention). File names correspond to the original coverage names. 2.3 Attribute files (*.csv extention). Contains ASCII, comma delimeted files for the seven "Feature Attribute tables" of the ARC/INFO coverages - geo1, fld1, city1, llf1, pol1, prov1. *************************************************************** 3. PLOT Contains six files - 3.1 rus_all.gra - ARC/INFO graphic file to draw the complete map on supported graphic displays. 3.2 rus_all.rtl - RTL file (ready to use plot file for HP650 color plotter). 3.3 rus_all.eps - Encapsulated Postscript file for the map (used as input for ADOBE PDF file). This file directly loadable to Adobe Illustrator 7.0. 3.4 rus_prov.eps - Encapsulated Postscript file same as above but without geology. 3.5 index.gra - file to draw a small world index map on upper left map corner of the large-scale map of region 1. 3.6 index.eps - same as above but it is used for the first page of ADOBE PDF file. ***************************** 4. TEXT These three identical sets each for UNIX, DOS and MAC (see below under "Supplemental Information"). ***************************** 5. VIEWS ARCVIEW (ver 3.0) data set consists of 21 files. The most significant is project file - "rus_geo.apr". There are six shape-files (*.shp) corresponding to six major ARCINFO coverages - geo1, fld1, prov1, latlong, city, ouline. Every shape file is supplemented by the two standard ARCVIEW files with *.shx and *.dbf extentions. There are two legend files for geology theme - rus_geo.avl - indexes and names for geologic map units. fld.avl - legend for oil/gas markers. ***************************** The ARC/INFO coverages are supplemented by several files (total 30) in ARC/INFO INTERCHANGE format (.e00) (where it was available). These files allow user to produce complete Map of data at a scale 1:7,500,000 by using ARCPLOT subsystem. Correspondent ARC/INFO AML program file to create a plot is plot_map.e00 (needs to imported to ARC/INFO by IMPORT program). Supplemental_Information: The 20 files are provided as supplementary for plotting final Map in ARC/INFO ARCPLOT. They are located in "text" directory. They all are in ARC/INFO INTERCHANGE format uncompressed (extention .e00): 1. plot_map/ - AML program to produce complete plot of the map at a scale 1:7,500,000 and to plot that map on HP650C plotter (compiled by F.

Since all the attributes are of character type, only correctness of polygon labelling can be provided (see below). Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment: Attribute_Accuracy_Value: Standard ARC/INFO attributes accuracy in Feature Attributes Tables like AREA, PERIMETER, etc. depend on horizontal positional accuracy. All the additional attributes are character type. Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation: All the Attributes besides standard ARC/INFO atttibutes are of character type. Standard verification of attributes reliability has been done by ARC/INFO EDITPLOT program to find polygons without assigned character value or with more than one value. Logical_Consistency_Report: Since the data set is collection of ARC/INFO coverages, topological consistency is supported. The same fuzzy tolerance is maintained through all processing steps (1500). Based on fuzzy tolerance value all undershoots and overshoots are detected and deleted. A comparison between color plot and original paper map was carried out by visual comparison. Color plots in 1:7,500,000 scale were superimposed on each of corresponding original map sheets. All errors detected in attributes were corrected. Completeness_Report: All data are found to be topologically correct. The generalizations of original geological map (VSEGEI) were carried out: 1. Several geological age subdivisions on the original (VSEGEI) 1:7,500,000 geological map are combined into single units. For example, all Cretaceous are combined into one unit. 2. All the Precambrian subdivisions are combined into one unit. The version of Geologic Province Boundaries is correct as of April 1998. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: 1. Original geological maps are of 750 meter maximum accuracy (0.1 mm on paper map of 1:7,500,000 scale) 2. Scanned images are of 200 dot/inch resolution (0.1 mm on paper). That is why fuzzy tolerance for CLEAN programm in ARC/INFO is set to 1500 m (two pixels). 3. Several steps are taken to vectorize scanned images. The projection and coordinate system for the original map are not given. Therefore it is necessary to georeference the map to real world coordinates. This is done as follows: 3.1. The latitude/longitude graticule with cell size 4 * 6 degree is projected to Equidistant Conic projection and then used to create ARC/INFO point coverage. That point coverage is used to create "to - from" links by ARC/INFO CONTROLPOINTS program. 3.2 A gray-scale scanned image of the original paper map is transformed to Equidistant Conic projection by ARC/INFO GRIDWARP program (polynomial of the second order) using the "to - from" links created by CONTROLPOINTS program. 3.3 The scanned image from the second step is vectorized by the method of extraction of linear features described by F.Persits, 1997, (USGS open-file report OF-97-713), and then corrected by hands-on digitization. 3.4 A series of piecewise "rubbersheet" transformations are applied to the final ARC/INFO coverage. The ARC/INFO coverages that are used for transformation were ESRI's ArcWorld 1:3 million GIS cartographic layers. Overall position error is estimated with a randomly selected set of locations on the ESRI coverages and comparing the same locations on the final geology coverage (geo1). RMS error is 4.8 km (0.64 mm of the original paper map) with maximum error about 12 km (1.6 mm on original paper map).
