This shapefile contains polygons that describe tectonic regions in Afghanistan and adjacent areas.

This shapefile contains polygons that describe the spatial extent of tectonic zones in northern Afghanistan and adjacent areas.

This shapefile contains polygons that describe the spatial extent of tectonic zones in northern Afghanistan and adjacent areas.

This shapefile includes polygons that describe U.S. Geological Survey defined geologic provinces that encompass northern Afghanistan.

This shapefile includes polygons and regions that describe U.S. Geological Survey defined petroleum resource Assessment Units of northern Afghanistan. Each assessment unit is defined as a mapable volume of rock within a total petroleum system that encompasses fields (discovered and undiscovered) that share similar geologic traits and socio-economic factors. The fields inside an assessment are a sufficiently homogenous population that a single methodology of resource assessment is applicable. Assessment units are described by U.S. Geological Survey research scientists on the basis of available geologic knowledge, exploration and production histories, and extensive literature searches. Assessment units are identified with a numeric code derived from the numeric code of the World Geologic Provinces defined by the U.S. Geological Survey World Petroleum Assessment 2000.

This shapefile contains polylines that describe the location of seismic lines in northern Afghanistan.

This shapefile contains polylines that describe the location of seismic lines in northern Afghanistan.

This shapefile contains polygons that describe oil and gas fields in northern Afghanistan.

This shapefile includes polygons that describe U.S. Geological Survey delineated Total Petroleum Systems of northern Afghanistan. Each petroleum system is defined as a mappable entity encompassing genetically related petroleum that occurs in seeps, shows and accumulations (discovered and undiscovered) that have been generated by a pod, or by closely related pods, of mature source rock, together with the essential mappable geologic elements (source, reservoir, seal and overburden rocks) that control fundamental processes of generation, migration, entrapment and preservation of petroleum. Total petroleum systems are described by U.S. Geological Survey research scientists on the basis of exploration and production histories, and extensive literature searches. Total petroleum systems are identified with a numeric code derived from the numeric code of the World Geologic Provinces defined by the U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project.
