Description of Map Types on Map Matrix II

Overburden: Maps showing burial depth through geologic history. These maps can be used to aid assessment of hydrocarbon preservation. At too great of depth oil and gas may not be preserved.
Burial: Maps showing progressive burial depth since the Precambrian. These maps shown here only for the Precambrian can be used to assess the maturation of source rock provided they are constructed for specific source rock horizons.
Structural Contour or Elevation: Maps showing the elevations of major unconformities of the Arabian Plate.

By obtaining the GIS files for these maps your company would have the ability to intergrate your exploration and production work into the regional context of the Arabian Plate. The system used to make these larger chronostratigraphic units can also be used to make smaller lithostratgraphic units such as reservoirs.
Individual purchase of raster, vector, or GIS files are available and Bulk discounts will be available, Call or Write.
