Appalachian Basin Province Oil and Gas 14-Mile Cells By Assessment Unit Bundled

 Cell maps for each oil and gas assessment unit were created by the USGS as a method for illustrating the degree of exploration, type of production, and distribution of production in an assessment unit or province. Each cell represents a quarter-mile square of the land surface, and the cells are coded to represent whether the wells included within the cell are predominantly oil-producing, gas-producing, both oil and gas-producing, dry, or the type of production of the wells located within the cell is unknown. The well information was initially retrieved from the IHS Energy Group, PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data on CD-ROM, which is a proprietary, commercial database containing information for most oil and gas wells in the U.S. Cells were developed as a graphic solution to overcome the problem of displaying proprietary PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data. No proprietary data are displayed or included in the cell maps. The data from PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data were current as of October 2001 when the cell maps were created in 2002.

National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project - Appalachian Basin Province 067Boundary

 The USGS Central Region Energy Team assesses oil and gas resources of the United States. The onshore and State water areas of the United States comprise 71 provinces. Within these provinces, Total Petroleum Systems are defined and Assessment Units are defined and assessed. Each of these provinces is defined geologically, and most province boundaries are defined by major geologic changes.   The Appalachian Basin Province is located in the eastern United States, encompassing all or parts of the counties in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The main population centers within the study area are Birmingham, Alabama; Buffalo, New York; Cleveland, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Chattanooga, Tennessee; and Roanoke, Virginia. The main Interstates are I-20, I-24, I-40, I-59, I-64, I-65, I-66, I-70, I-71, I-75, I-76, I-77, I-78, I-79, I-80, I-81, I-83, I-84, I-87, I-88, and I-90. The Ohio, Susquehanna, Allegheny, Tennessee, Coosa, Delaware, New, Potomac, and Scioto Rivers and their tributaries drain the area. The province boundary was drawn to include the geologic structures generally considered to be in or bounding the Appalachian Basin.

Mileage-based Tariff Benefits Alaskans

 Alaskans who draw North Slope natural gas from the proposed large-volume pipeline would pay only a tiny fraction of the multibillion-dollar project's construction and operating cost.   That's because of long-standing federal and state laws that say gas shippers should pay for only the proportion of the pipeline system they use. These policies are designed to hold down prices that consumers along the pipeline pay and to keep small gas shippers from being discriminated against.   The gas taken off in the state won't be free - Alaskans still would pay many millions of dollars annually to receive gas shipped from Prudhoe Bay or other North Slope fields.

WV Watershed Boundary Dataset 8 10 and 12 Digits

 Description   This dataset is a complete digital hydrologic unit boundary layer to the subwatershed (12-digit) 6th level at 1:24,000 scale. It consists of geo-referenced digital data and associated attributes created in accordance with the Federal Standard for Delineation of Hydrologic Unit Boundaries.   The hydrologic unit boundaries provide a uniquely identified and uniform method of subdividing large drainage areas, defining the aerial extent of surface water drainage to a point. "Watershed" hydrologic units (HU) are generally subdivided into 5 to 15 units. The average size of an 8-digit sub-basin hydrologic unit is about 450,000 acres. The typical 10-digit watershed size is 40,000 to 250,000 acres, while the typical 12-digit subwatershed is 10,000 to 40,000 acres. 8- and 10-digit watersheds can be derived from 12-digit watershed shapefiles.

WV Digital Elevation Models USGS 10-meter

  The 7.5-minute digital elevation model (DEM) data are digital representations of cartographic information in a raster form. The DEMs consists of an array of elevations for ground positions at regularly spaced 10-meter intervals. DEMs can be used as source data for digital orthophotos, and for earth science analysis as layers in geographic information systems. DEMs can also serve as tools for volumetric analysis, for site location of towers, or for drainage basin delineation.    Originator is the U.S. Geological Survey. These Level 2 DEMs were generated from (1) 1:24,000-scale hypsography digital line graph (DLG) data or from (2) vector data derived from scanned raster files of USGS 1:24.000-scale separates.

Scientific Earth Drilling Information Service

 The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) is developing a web based information service SEDIS - to facilitate access to all data and information related to scientific ocean drilling, regardless of origin or location of data. SEDIS will be designed to integrate distributed scientific drilling data via metadata.   The three main data contributors to SEDIS currently are the IODP implementing organizations (IOs) from the United States (USIO), Japan (CDEX) and Europe with Canada (ESO). Each IO uses its own drilling platform and data management system. Initially SEDIS will integrate the data search of the IO databases by harvesting distributed metadata without the necessity to centralize the data storage. SEDIS could be expanded at a later stage to include other scientific drilling data from continental or lake drilling. In future development, SEDIS will also include a publication search engine and advanced data search, visualization and mapping tools.

California Active Faults

This resource contains data on active faults in California that are believed to be sources of M>6 earthquakes during the Quaternary (the past 1,600,000 years). This resource is a compilation of Quaternary Active Fault features compiled by the USGS in cooperation with the California Geological Survey and accessed on July 11, 2012 by the AZGS. The Quaternary Fault and Fold Database for the Nation can be accessed online at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/qfaults/ through a user-friendly interface developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. This is part of the first nationwide compilation to provide up-to-date and comprehensive geologically based information on known or suspected active faults. The data are available as a Web feature service, a Web map service, an ESRI Service Endpoint, and an Excel workbook for the National Geothermal Data System. Each feature in an active fault dataset (record or row in the worksheet) is characterized by a unique combination of features, as well as being physically connected or inferred to be connected spatially in the Earth. For mapped active faults, the deformation style is assumed to be brittle (as opposed to ductile). The workbook contains 6 worksheets, including information about the template, instructions on using the template, notes related to revisions of the template, resource provider information, the data, a field list (data mapping view), and vocabularies (data valid terms) used to populate the spreadsheet. Fields in the data table include FeatureURI, Name, FullName, ParentFeatureURI, Label, Description, Symbol, OtherID, SpecificationURI, FeatureType, GeologicHistory, RepresentativeAgeURI, YoungerAgeURI, OlderAgeURI, IntervalSince Movement, Shape, ObservationMethod, PositionAccuracyMeters, PositionAccuracy, Displacement, SlipRate, SlipAccumulationInterval, MovementType, MovementSense, DipDirection, DateMostRecentEvent, RecurrenceInterval, TotalSlip, Source and MetadataURI.--NGDS

Precambrian Basement Map of the Northern Midcontinent, U.S.A.

This report contains files that provide a digital version of USGS map I-1853-A, "Precambrian Basement Map of the Northern Midcontinent, U.S.A.," compiled by P.K. Sims and published in 1990. The files are provided in two formats: (1) Arc export (e00) files, which can be imported directly into a number of applications, and (2) Arcview shapefiles and a related Arcview project, which allow direct viewing and manipulation of the map information.

The intent of this release is solely to make the original map data available digitally, not to make updates or modifications to the map based on new data acquired in the past decade since the original map was published. Thus, the information in the database files is distilled from the original map and preserves the terminology used therein. To further preserve the original map, ancillary information such as the Correlation of Map Units and Description of Map Units are included as images that were scanned from the printed map.

The data are presented in several data layers. A polygon coverage presents the distribution of map units in which each polygon is attributed with 15 geological parameters. An accompanying line coverage shows faults. Additional coverages show location of drill holes used in the original compilation and structure contours on the Precambrian basement surface. --USGS

Precambrian basement structure map United States

The Precambrian basement rocks of the continental United States are largely covered by younger sedimentary and volcanic rocks, and the availability of updated aeromagnetic data (NAMAG, 2002) provides a means to infer major regional basement structures and tie together the scattered, but locally abundant, geologic information.
Precambrian basement structures in the continental United States have strongly influenced later Proterozoic and Phanerozoic tectonism within the continent, and there is a growing awareness of the utility of these structures in deciphering major younger tectonic and related episodes. Interest in the role of basement structures in the evolution of continents has been recently stimulated, particularly by publications of the Geological Society of London (Holdsworth and others, 1998; Holdsworth and others, 2001). These publications, as well as others, stress the importance of reactivation of basement structures in guiding the subsequent evolution of continents. Knowledge of basement structures is an important key to understanding the geology of continental interiors.

Central Eastern United States - Seismic Source Characterization for Nuclear Facilities

The purpose of compiling the CEUS-SSC Project database was to organize and store those data and resources that had been carefully and thoroughly collected and described for the TI Team’s use in characterizing potential seismic sources in the CEUS. An important goal for the development of this database was to document sources and dates for all information that was initially assessed for the CEUS-SSC Project, specifying exactly what data and resources were considered, and provide for pertinent future data sets to be incorporated as they were generated for the project. 
Development of the project database began at the inception of the project to provide TI Team members with a common set of data, maps, and figures for characterization of potential seismic sources. The database was continually updated during the course of the project through the addition of new references and data collected by TI Team members and project subcontractors, including information presented in project workshops and provided through PPRP review documentation.  
This appendix presents the contents of the project database, as well as information on the workflow, development roles, database design considerations, data assessment tasks, and management of the database. Based on the CEUS Project Plan, the project database included, but was not limited to, the following general types of data: 

Magnetic anomaly
Gravity anomaly
Crystalline basement geology
Tectonic features and tectonic/crustal domains
Tectonic stress field
Thickness of sediments
Crustal thickness
VP at top of crystalline basement
Seismic reflection data at Charleston, South Carolina
Earthquake catalog
Quaternary faulting and potential Quaternary features
Mesozoic rift basins
Paleoliquefaction sites
Topography and bathymetry
Liquefaction dates from published literature for the Wabash, New Madrid, and Charleston seismic zones
Index map showing locations of published crustal scale seismic profiles and geologic cross sections

The Nemaha Trend-- A System of Compressional Thrust-Fold, Strike-Slip Structural Features in Kansas and Oklahoma, Part 1

From the abstract: 
Much has been written about the buried Nemaha uplift in Kansas and Oklahoma since drillers and geologists first became aware of it from oil-well drilling in the early years of the twentieth century. It has been described as extensional, compressional, and strike-slip. In this paper I will present data to show that the Nemaha was formed by compressional or thrust faulting that is rooted deep within the Precambrian crust and extended in listric fashion to the ground surface coincident with the Humboldt fault zone, or east-bounding fault. Compressional effects observed from well data and seismic surveys do not permit an extensional origin.

NETL Carbon Storage Atlas -- Fifth Edition

The Carbon Storage Atlas contains the following sections: (1) Introduction to CCS; (2) DOE’s Carbon
Storage Activities; (3) National Perspectives; (4) Large-Scale Field Projects; (5) Small-Scale Field
Projects; and (6) American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Site Characterization Projects. The
Introduction to CCS section is an overview of CCS. The DOE’s Carbon Storage Activities section is a
summary of CCS activities including information on DOE’s Carbon Capture and Storage Programs,
NETL’s Research and Development, DOE’s Systems Analysis Activities, and DOE’s Interagency and
Global Collaborations, and Knowledge Sharing Efforts. The National Perspectives section contains
maps showing the number, location, and magnitude of CO2 stationary sources in the United States
and other portions of North America, as well as the areal extent and estimated CO2 prospective
storage resource available in RCSP-evaluated geologic formations. The Large-Scale Field Projects
section provides detailed information on various aspects of the large-scale injections conducted
by the RCSPs. The Small-Scale Field Projects and Site Characterization Projects sections provide
summaries of field project activities that augment the efforts of the large-scale field projects.
Atlas V highlights the RCSPs’ large-scale field projects. These field projects are unique and address
technical and non-technical challenges within their respective regions. The RCSPs are a success
story in collaboration and integration of technologies in their trailblazing efforts to provide a firm
foundation for moving forward with commercial-scale carbon storage projects. For each of the
RCSPs’ large-scale field projects, the Atlas provides a summary of approaches taken, technologies
validated, and lessons learned in carrying out key aspects of a CCS project: site characterization;
risk assessment, simulation and modeling, monitoring, verification, accounting and assessment;
site operations; and public outreach.
Carbon dioxide geologic storage information in Atlas V was developed to provide a high-level overview
of prospective storage resource across the United States and other portions of North America. Areal
extents of geologic formations and CO2 storage resource presented are intended to be used as an initial
assessment. This information provides CCS project developers a starting point for further investigation
of the extent to which geologic CO2 storage is feasible, but is not intended as a substitute for
site-specific characterization, assessment, and testing.
