Atlas of Petroleum Prospectivity

Database

This database synthesises the wealth of new and existing information and knowledge within GNS Science and other open-file sources to produce a nationally-significant baseline reference dataset that summarises the current understanding of the petroleum prospectivity of New Zealand's offshore sedimentary basins.

Overview

Polygon, point, and polyline features are organised thematically into Feature Datasets, each of which contains multiple Feature Classes. Raster datasets are included at the highest hierarchical level of the database. The co-ordinate system used for the database is New Zealand Transverse Mercator, based on the NZGD2000 datum. Database compilation was undertaken using ArcGIS 10.3.1 for Desktop (version 10.3.1.4959). The atlas is subdivided into a number of provinces, each with common geological setting.
