  • This Feature Class contains polygon features that summarise the exploration potential of the Miocene succession within sedimentary basins in the Northwest Province (Taranaki, Deepwater Taranaki, and Reinga-Northland basins). Areas where all of the requirements for oil or gas accumulation are present are indicated as having high exploration potential. Areas where all the requirements are not optimum, but may be present are indicated as areas of moderate exploration potential. Areas of low exploration potential indicates that on the basis of currently available open-file information there is a high risk for one or more of the petroleum systems elements not being able to effectively contribute to the petroleum system in that area. It is important to note that a rating of low exploration potential does not conclusively rule it out; rather, there is a high degree of uncertainty associated with presence of one or more of the petroleum system elements. 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 contains Common Risk Segment (CRS) polygon features for denoting the risk of reservoir 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 contains Common Risk Segment (CRS) polygon features for denoting the risk of source rocks being absent within the Paleocene succession in sedimentary basins in the Northwest Province (Taranaki, Deepwater Taranaki, and Reinga-Northland basins).

  • This Feature Class presents available open-file age, lithostratigraphic formations, thickness, lithology, paleobathymetric and data source information for petroleum exploration wells relevant to the 62 Ma paleogeographic map.

  • This layer comprises geological unit data for Antarctica. It represents a synthesis of existing published and unpublished mapping of the geology of this area in a single dataset at a regional scale. These data comprise polygon geometry with each polygon having attributes describing the unit type, name, age, lithology, stratigraphy, and supporting background information, where this is known. This layer complies with the GeoSciML Lite standard for GeologicalUnitView and fields required by that standard were populated using the CGI Controlled Vocabulary (v2016.01).

  • This Feature Class presents available open-file age, lithostratigraphic formations, thickness, lithology, paleobathymetric and data source information for petroleum exploration wells relevant to the 14 Ma paleogeographic map.

  • This Feature Class contains paleofacies (i.e. paleoenvironmental) polygon features for sedimentary basins in the Northwest Province (Atlas of Petroleum Prospectivity), namely the Taranaki, Deepwater Taranaki, and Reinga-Northland basins. Features are depicted relative to the modern New Zealand coastline. No palinspastic reconstructions have been undertaken. Polygon features for 24 Ma (earliest Miocene, NZ Waitakian Stage) 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 layer is a geological map bibliography for Antarctica. It was produced by GNS Science in conjunction with partners in the SCAR GeoMAP project. It represents the sources referred to in the classification of geological map polygons. This layer depicts a selection of key maps, as polygon outlines with data providing links to original bibliographic source, that have been useful to the GeoMAP team (as at June 2019). It shows the majority of, but not necessarily all, geological maps available for Antarctica. The dataset comprises polygons with each having attributes describing the source's authors, title, publication, year, program and scale of publication. The data structure complies with the GeoSciML 4.1 standard where relevant and uses the relevant CGI Controlled Vocabularies.

  • This Feature Class contains Common Risk Segment (CRS) polygon features for denoting the risk of reservoir rocks being absent at the 66 Ma (latest Cretaceous) 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.
