This coverage contains points that describe centerpoint locations of and primary commodity produced by oil and gas fields.
A fundamental task in the assessment is to map the locations and type of production for existing oil and gas fields.
Purpose
The purpose of this map is to depict the general location of the oil and gas fields. This dataset is not global.
The oil and gas field centerpoints are a general representation of the number, distribution, and location of oil and gas fields.
