This Feature Class contains paleobathymetric polygon features for sedimentary basins in the Northwest Province for the Atlas of Petroleum Prospectivity (Taranaki, Deepwater Taranaki, and Reinga-Northland basins), depicted relative to the modern New Zealand coastline. No palinspastic reconstructions have been undertaken. Polygon features for 48 Ma (Middle Eocene, NZ Mangaorapan-Heretaungan Stage Boundary) are contained in this Feature Class.

This Feature Class presents available open-file age, lithostratigraphic formations, thickness, lithology, paleobathymetric and data source information for petroleum exploration wells relevant to the 77 Ma paleogeographic map.

This Feature Class contains Common Risk Segment (CRS) polygon features for denoting the risk of seal rocks being absent within the Eocene succession in sedimentary basins in the Northwest Province (Taranaki, Deepwater Taranaki, and Reinga-Northland basins). Risk is depicted by a relatively simple "traffic-light" system: green colours denote low risk, orange denotes moderate risk, and red colours denote high risk. It is important to note that a rating of high risk (red) for this petroleum systems element does not conclusively rule it out; rather, it indicates that on the basis of currently available open-file information there is a high risk for that factor being able to effectively contribute to the petroleum system in that area. For any given prospective area, more detailed work and data acquisition would be required. For more information about these data please refer to: Arnot, M.J. and Bland, K.J. et al. (Compilers), 2016.

This Feature Class denotes the locations of the open-file petroleum exploration wells from the Taranaki, Deepwater Taranaki, and Reinga-Northland basins that were used as part of seismic mapping, within the Northwest Province mapping area. These wells are a sub-set of the much larger number of wells drilled within the basins.

This Feature Class contains Common Risk Segment (CRS) polygon features for denoting the risk of source rocks being absent within the mid-Cretaceous (late Early-early Late Cretaceous) succession in sedimentary basins in the Northwest Province (Taranaki, Deepwater Taranaki, and Reinga-Northland basins). Risk is depicted by a relatively simple "traffic-light" system: green colours denote low risk, orange denotes moderate risk, and red colours denote high risk.

This Feature Class presents available open-file age, lithostratigraphic formations, thickness, lithology, paleobathymetric and data source information for petroleum exploration wells relevant to the 35 Ma paleogeographic map.

This Feature Class presents available open-file age, lithostratigraphic formations, thickness, lithology, paleobathymetric and data source information for petroleum exploration wells relevant to the 24 Ma paleogeographic map.

This Feature Class contains paleobathymetric polygon features for sedimentary basins in the Northwest Province for the Atlas of Petroleum Prospectivity (Taranaki, Deepwater Taranaki, and Reinga-Northland basins), depicted relative to the modern New Zealand coastline. No palinspastic reconstructions have been undertaken. Polygon features for 98 Ma (mid-Cretaceous, NZ Ngaterian Stage) are contained in this Feature Class.

This Feature Class contains Common Risk Segment (CRS) polygon features for denoting the risk of reservoir rocks being absent at the 35 Ma (latest Eocene) level in sedimentary basins in the Northwest Province (Taranaki, Deepwater Taranaki, and Reinga-Northland basins). Risk is depicted by a relatively simple "traffic-light" system: green colours denote low risk, orange denotes moderate risk, and red colours denote high risk. It is important to note that a rating of high risk (red) for this petroleum systems element does not conclusively rule it out; rather, it indicates that on the basis of currently available open-file information there is a high risk for that factor being able to effectively contribute to the petroleum system in that area.
