DIGITAL FORMATS OF THE REPORTS AND ASSOCIATED DATA
Introduction
These reports are the product of more than two decades of research. During this time our production and presentation formats have changed considerably. The older reports were originally provided in hard copy whereas the most recent are entirely digital. All the reports are now provided exclusively in digital format.
PDF Report Library
All report volumes and enclosures are presented as separate PDF files with hyperlinks to allow navigation within and between the different reports and documents. In this way all the reports can be accessed from a single opening page. We term this format our "PDF Report Library". The report text volumes are generally presented as “searchable text”. The figures, well logs, maps, photomicrographs, geochemical traces and enclosures are mostly presented as colour/monochrome raster scanned images. The contents of all the pdf's have bookmark indexes and hyperlinks to associated documents.
Open the file ReportLibraryEG.pdf to see an example of the pdf formats.
Alpha-Numeric digital data formats
In addition to the pdf format reports thare are also digital alpha-numeric data sets associated with several reports. These are presented in standard digital formats:
Wireline log data are presented in LAS (Log ASCII Standard) format.
Other alpha-numeric data are provided as Excel Spreadsheets. These include datasets of formation tops, basic well data, show data, DST data, field data, geochemical data.
Map data from the latest reports are provided in MapInfo Export format. These include facies maps, contour maps, well locations, regional geology and structure maps.
Many of our petrographic logs were originally hand-drafted. Conversion of the lithology and other graphic data sets to digital format is in progress. The data are provided in Excel spreadsheets, to allow import and manipulation in in-house geological software packages. Please contact PGA for an up to date list of available wells.
Data already in digital format
Data already available in digital format are summarised below:
-
Wireline logs for 56 wells in Iraq (see Overview Report);
-
Lithology data for 20 composite wells in Iraq (see Overview Report), plus selected petrographic logs (contact PGA for details);
-
Show and test data for Iraq (see Overview Report);
-
Formation Tops for over 100 wells in Iraq and relevant study wells in adjacent areas;
-
TOC, Rock-Eval, GC, PY-GC, GC-MS, visual kerogen descriptions, vitrinite reflectance data and carbon isotope analyses from the reports Petroleum Geology and Geochemistry of the Middle East and Oils, Shows and Source Rocks of Iraq.
-
GIS datasets (in MapInfo Export format) for maps presented the Overview Report, the Mesozoic Outcrops of Iraq and the Paleozoic of Iraq and Adjacent Areas.
