Drake 2021 publication n/a US Geological Survey https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20213032 This data release contains the boundaries of conventional assessment units for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources in the Eastern Mediterranean Area. The Assessment Unit is the fundamental unit used in the National Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The Assessment Unit is defined within the context of the higher-level Total Petroleum System. The Assessment Unit is shown herein as a geographic boundary interpreted, defined, and mapped by the geologist responsible for the province and incorporates a set of known or postulated oil and (or) gas accumulations sharing similar geologic, geographic, and temporal properties within the Total Petroleum System, such as source rock, timing, migration pathways, trapping mechanism, and hydrocarbon type. The Assessment Unit boundary is defined geologically as the limits of the geologic elements that define the Assessment Unit, such as limits of reservoir rock, geologic structures, source rock, and seal lithologies. Methodology of assessments are documented in USGS DDS69-D, Chapter 21 for conventional assessments (https://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds-069/dds-069-d/REPORTS/69_D_CH_21.pdf). The purpose of these files is to define and illustrate the geographic limit and geologic boundaries of the Assessment Units within the defined Total Petroleum Systems, as required for the USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project.

The first digit of the code indicates the World region number (2), the following three digits (2032) are the province number, the next two digits (203201) are the Total Petroleum System number, and the last two digits (20320101) are the Assessment Unit number. For more detailed assessment results data, refer to the CD_ROM publications for the Provinces that are available at https://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds-069/ or the USGS Fact Sheets that are available for each Province at the National Oil and Gas Assessment website - https://www.usgs.gov/centers/cersc/science/united-states-assessments-undiscovered-oil-and-gas-resources?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects The Assessment Unit boundary was defined on the basis of the surface and subsurface geology of the petroleum system elements, and oil and gas production, shows, and seeps related to the Assessment Unit. The province geologist was required to defend the geologic boundaries of each Assessment Unit in a formal geologic and petroleum system review meeting. The Assessment Unit was mapped in part on the data contained in the IHSMarkit data base for wells and fields. The Assessment Unit boundary represents the gross boundary of the combined geologic elements that comprise the Total Petroleum System. The Assessment Unit boundary was mapped by the province geologist and the boundary line digitally transferred using ArcGIS. The province geologist mapped the Assessment Unit boundary on a hard copy or digital base map that contained data from IHSMarkit data base for wells and fields. The province geologist then plotted all other available geologic, geophysical and geochemical data and information on the base map to assist in mapping the Assessment Unit boundary. Following review, the Assessment Unit boundary was digitally captured from the hard copy or digital base map using ArcGIS. 2020 Vector G-polygon 8 0.0197133698 0.0291853309 Decimal seconds World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) WGS_1984 6378137.0 298.257222101 au"assessunitnum and abbreviated name" Polygon Attribute Table.
