The three major petroleum source-rock systems are the Tertiary (Paleocene-Eocene) Wilcox Formation, Cretaceous (Turonian) Eagle Ford Formation, and Jurassic (Oxfordian) Smackover Formation. The ages of the reservoir units extend from Jurassic to Pleistocene. By combining various GIS layers, the user can gain insights into the maximum extent of each petroleum system and the pathways for petroleum migration from the source rocks to traps. Interpretations based on these data should improve development of exploration models for this petroleum-rich province.</p> <p>This product contains GIS layer files of maps, figures, and data for the Gulf Coast Region and is recommended for independent petroleum geologists and others interested in exploration in the Gulf Coast. Using ESRI ArcReader software, the user has the ability to view and download multiple data files at different scales. Data types include:</p> <ul><li>surface geology</li> <li>salt features</li> <li>basins and uplifts</li> <li>volcanic provinces</li> <li>faults and fault zones</li> <li>reservoir ages and products</li> <li>generalized structure and isopach maps</li> <li>source-rock lithologies and environments</li> <li>regional geopressure</li> <li>oil-source petroleum systems</li> </ul><p><strong>Please note</strong>: This map originally required ESRI ArcReader 10 software, which is no longer available. (The Data files can be added into ArcMap.)</p> <p><a title="" href="https://www.datapages.com/gis-map-publishing-program/gis-open-files/geographic/files/Pitman-Reservoirs-and-Petroleum-Systems-of-the-Gulf-Coast.zip" class="internal-link" target="_self"><strong>Click here to download the map.</strong></a></p> <p> <img src="https://www.datapages.com/gis-map-publishing-program/gis-open-files/images/PitmanMap_smaller.bmp" alt="" class="image-inline" title="" /></p> </div> </div> <div class="visualClear"><span><span><br /></span></span></div> </div> <div id="contentsub" class="print noprint"> <div id="column_noline"> <h1><strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.searchanddiscovery.com">Search and Discovery</a></strong><br /> Featured Articles</h1> <ul id="sdFeatures" class="nopadding"><li><a href="https://www.searchanddiscovery.com/abstracts/pdf/2023/91206rms/index.htm" target="_blank">2023 RMS Meeting Abstracts</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.searchanddiscovery.com/abstracts/pdf/2023/91205geogulf/index.htm" target="_blank">2023 GeoGulf Meeting Abstracts</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.searchanddiscovery.com/documents/2023/11379sigler/ndx_sigler.pdf" target="_blank">Uinta Basin Stacked Pay</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.searchanddiscovery.com/documents/2023/11373breyer/ndx_breyer.pdf" target="_blank">Carrier Beds as Reservoirs</a></li> </ul></div> <div class="column"> <h1><strong><a target="new" href="http://archives.datapages.com/data/index.html">Archives</a></strong><br /> </h1> <ul id="archivesFeatures" class="nopadding"><li><a class="external-link" href="https://archives.datapages.com/data/browse/australian-petroleum-production-exploration-association-appea-journal/" target="_self" title="Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (APPEA) Journal">APPEA</a></li> <li><a class="external-link" href="https://archives.datapages.com/data/browse/the-society-for-organic-petrology-tsop/" target="_self" title="The Society for Organic Petrology (TSOP)">TSOP</a></li> <li><a class="external-link" href="https://archives.datapages.com/data/browse/journal-of-sedimentary-research-sepm/" target="_self" title="Journal of Sedimentary Research (SEPM)">SEPM</a></li> <li><a class="external-link" href="https://archives.datapages.com/data/browse/bulletin-of-canadian-energy-geoscience-cega/" target="_self" title="Bulletin of Canadian Energy Geoscience (CEGA)">CEGA</a></li> <li><a title="" href="https://www.datapages.com/subscription-information" class="internal-link" target="_self">Subscription Information</a></li> </ul></div> <div id="bookstore" class="column"> <h1><a target="_blank" href="http://store.aapg.org/"><strong>AAPG Store</strong></a><br /> Featured Digital Pubs</h1> <ul id="bookstoreFeatures" class="nopadding"><li><a class="external-link" href="http://store.aapg.org/searchresults.aspx?categoryid=24" target="_blank" title="COSUNA Charts">COSUNA Charts</a></li> <li><a class="external-link" href="http://store.aapg.org/searchresults.aspx?categoryid=26" target="_blank" title="Highway Maps">Highway Maps</a></li> <li><a class="external-link" href="http://store.aapg.org/searchresults.aspx?categoryid=36" target="_blank" title="Special Pubs Downloads">Special Pubs Downloads</a></li> <li><a class="external-link" href="https://store.aapg.org/searchresults.aspx?categoryid=34" target="_self" title="">RMAG Maps</a></li> <li><a class="external-link" href="https://store.aapg.org/ATSResources/product-splash/dibblee.aspx" target="_self" title="">California Geo Maps</a></li> </ul></div> <div class="column"> <h1><strong><a href="/associated-websites/gis-map-publishing-program">GIS Map Publishing Program</a></strong></h1> <ul id="gisFeatures" class="nopadding"><li><a title="" href="https://www.datapages.com/gis-map-publishing-program" class="internal-link" target="_self">GIS Maps Overview </a></li> <li><a href="http://deo.datapages.com/">DEO-GIS (Subscription)</a></li> <li><a title="" href="https://www.datapages.com/gis-map-publishing-program" class="internal-link" target="_self">GIS-UDRIL (Subscription)</a></li> <li><a title="" href="https://www.datapages.com/gis-map-publishing-program/gis-open-files" class="internal-link" target="_self">GIS Open Files (Free)</a></li> </ul></div> </div> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </td> </tr></table></td> <td style="width:20px;"> <table width="20" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td></td> </tr></table></td> <td valign="top" style="width:210px;
