Digital geologic and geophysical data of Bangladesh Digital geologic and geophysical data of Bangladesh

This CD-ROM was compiled according to the methodology developed by the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project. The goal of the project was to assess the undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world and report these results by the year 2000. A worldwide series of geologic maps, published on CD-ROMs, was released by the U.S. Geological Survey's World...

Preliminary geologic map of the Little Piute Mountains, California: A digital database Preliminary geologic map of the Little Piute Mountains, California: A digital database

The Little Piute Mountains Digital database contains digital geologic and geographic information for the study area. The geology was mapped at a scale of 1:8,000, and the topographic information was input from the Little Piute Mountains, CA 1:24,000 quadrangle. The accuracy of the spatial information is limited to the input scale. Postscript files, originally published in paper format as...

Geochemistry of oils from the Junggar basin, northwest China Geochemistry of oils from the Junggar basin, northwest China

The Junggar basin of northwestern China is a structural basin containing a thick sequence of Paleozoic-Pleistocene rocks with estimated oil reserves of as much as 5 billion bbl. Analyses of 19 oil samples from nine producing fields and two oil-stained cores in the Junggar basin revealed the presence of at least five genetic oil types. The geochemistry of the oils indicates source organic...
