Selected Authority Tables AGSO codes 168 AGSO - Geoscience Australia Data Dictionary for GIS Products Version 2001.08 ii Rationale

A data dictionary is a description of fields for each feature type in a database. In this AGSO - Geoscience Australia GIS Data Dictionary a description of all the themes likely to be created is given. A theme is a set of spatial objects. Some of the themes in this data dictionary have associated look-up tables. Look-up tables store an additional array of attributes that may be linked to the primary attribute table of a theme. Object type, feature definition, field type, attribute case, compulsion for data entry, a list of valid values and any rules or comments regarding the feature are also given in this data dictionary. Maintenance

This document is subject to periodic updates. Requests to include new themes and/or attributes into the data dictionary should be sumbitted to the Corporate GIS Manager by e-mailing to [email protected] address. Terminology

Coverage is an ArcInfo term for a theme or a layer PAT file is an ArcInfo term for a Polygon Attribute Table or a Point Attribute Table AAT file is an ArcInfo term for an Arc Attribute Table RECNO is an internal record number for an ArcInfo attribute table Field formats

Field Type Explanation 20,20,C character field 20 characters long 8,8,I integer field 8 digits long i.e. smallest number available is -9999999 and largest number available is 99999999 9,9,N,3 numerical field with 3 decimal places e.g. 12345.789 i.e. smallest number available is -9999.999 and largest number available is 99999.999

General rules

Theme is a set of spatial objects - a coverage in ArcInfo or ArcView, a shape file in ArcView and a table in MapInfo. Some of the themes may have associated look-up tables.

Where possible, directory structure should be used to denote themes spatial location, scale or other properties.

All fields for each theme defined in this document must be listed in the order and size as specified.

Where valid values are listed, any unlisted values are invalid. Only valid values may be used.

All themes must be in double precision unless there is a very good reason why single precision is the only option. This matter is to be confirmed with the Divisional Data Administrator.

AGSO - Geoscience Australia Data Dictionary for GIS Products Version 2001.08 1 Annotations are not allowed in the GIS and Oracle themes under any circumstances. Cartographic coverages exist for such purpose. They are named by adding the ‘MAP’ suffix to the theme name. Cartographic themes may contain annotation, lead lines, and other cartographic symbology required for plotting. However, duplication of features between the GIS/Oracle and cartographic ‘MAP’ coverages should be avoided, if possible.

GIS data sourced form other agencies e.g. mineral deposit data from State Mines Departments, does not need to comply to the AGSO’s Geoscience GIS Data Dictionary.

Some of the themes may have an ArcInfo regions topology. Regions should be converted to polygons before attempting to export data into ArcView or MapInfo formats.

All themes must be documented and have accompanied metadata that conforms to current ANZLIC standard for Core Metadata Elements. Text field rules

Only upper case characters are allowed in the upper case fields. Mixed case fields may contain both upper and lower case characters. Upper case characters are preferred. For mixed case fields first letter in a sentence should always start with the upper case. Only one space is allowed between words. All sentences should be completed with full stop. A punctuation mark should always follow the word without any spaces between word and the punctuation mark. A word immediately after the punctuation mark should be separated from the punctuation mark by a single space.

Field Type Attribute value example Mixed case field Shale, siltstone and sandstone. Minor volcanic conglomerate. Upper case field SHALE, SILTSTONE AND SANDSTONE. MINOR VOLCANIC CONGLOMERATE.

Numeric field rules

Where value of a numerical item is not known and should not equal to zero, the value should be set to -9. Examples are points where all structural measurements were not completed. UFI Field Numbering Rules

Unique Feature Identifier (UFI) field is compulsory for all features in a theme and must be populated. If theme (coverage) is constructed in Arc/INFO GIS, the ufi for a feature other than a polygon (e.g. point or line) is calculated as:

calculate ufi = $recno

If feature is a polygon, the universal (world) polygon must be accounted for and the ufi is therefore calculated as:

reselect $recno ne 1 calculate ufi = $recno - 1

AGSO - Geoscience Australia Data Dictionary for GIS Products Version 2001.08 2 Annotation rules

Annotation subclasses should be named same as the items whose value the annotation represents. For example annotation for geological polygons in GEOLANN coverage would have subclass plot_symb i.e. anno.plot_symb. In all other cases user is allowed to name its own annotation subclasses. Polygon labelling rules

AGSO - Geoscience Australia Data Dictionary for GIS Products Version 2001.08 3 GIS analysis look-up tables

For all themes in the data dictionary a GIS analysis look-up tables are allowed. The tables should have any other items of interest for a GIS analysis. The tables naming convention follows 8.3 format:

where is the standard theme name stands for GIS Analysis one of feature-type identifiers; S for point (spot), L for line (arc) and P for polygon themes

Tables should be defined according to the following rules:

• the item ufi is used as a link to respective AAT or PAT file of the theme • only ufis for tagged features should appear in the table • the item ufi should always be the first item in the table • other user-defined items should not appear in the data dictionary

Example

Geologist may want to tag particular arcs in GEOL theme as major greenstone belt boundaries. In this case, the GEOL.GAL GIS analysis look-up table would have the following structure:

ufi greenstone description other2 etc... 12331 Y Major greenstone belt boundary N 12562 High percentage Y 14522 Y Major greenstone belt boundary Y

Analysis items, i.e. greenstone in the above example, should be kept in respective feature tables - AATs and/or PATs while data set is in construction stage. Once data set is complete, the analysis attributes should be moved to their respective look-up tables. Oracle authority tables

Current authority tables are located in http://www.agso.gov.au/information/structure/isd/database/lookups.html or they can be downloaded as a text document from http://www.agso.gov.au/minerals/lookup_table.html

Note There is a provision to create artificial polygons by buffering point data from Oracle tables. This provision is to be used only when point data falls into geological polygons of unmappable size. All of these artificial polygons must have a plotrank of 3 to distinguish them from mappable polygons. Younger rock units should always be on right-hand-side of the fault line. If not, a fault line vector should be flipped to enable correct symbolisation.

AGSO - Geoscience Australia Data Dictionary for GIS Products Version 2001.08 89 well 30,30,C mixed Yes The name and number of the well. The Well Name must be unique. Information about Sidetracked, Directional (deviated) and Relocated Wells Sidetrack drilling is a remedial operation which results in the creation of a new section of well bore for the purpose of (1) detouring around junk, (2) redrillling lost hole, or (3) straightening key seats and crooked holes. As of 1992, sidetracked holes falling under the above definition will continue to be called by the original well name. A directional (deviated) well is a well purposely deviated from the vertical using controlled angles to reach an objective location other than one directly below the surface location. A directional well may be the original hole or a directional "sidetracked" hole, which deviates from the original bore at some point below the surface. If there is a common bore from which two or more wells are drilled, the first complete bore from the surface to the original objective is classified and reported as a well drilled. Each of the deviations from the common bore is reported as a separate well. As of 1992, deviated wells which deviated to new objectives are designated as DW1, DW2 etc, following the originally named bore, for example: Original well Henry 1 First deviation Henry 1 DW1 Previous to 1992, when a well was sidetracked from a subsurface kick off point, whether for a new objective (deviated) or for remedial operation, a separate entry and UNO were recorded for that well. The sidetrack number was added to the name of the well: Original hole: Cockell 1 Sidetrack hole: Cockell 1 ST 1 Where a hole is redrilled after relocation at the surface, a separate entry and UNO is recorded for the original and relocated hole. A relocation letter is added to the name of the well: Original hole: Arunta 1 Redrill: Arunta 1A Well Name changes Where a well name changes, the new name is referenced as a separate entry with an UNO beginning with W1, then year spudded and a sequential number starting from 0500.

AGSO - Geoscience Australia Data Dictionary for GIS Products Version 2001.08 90 well_type 13,13,C mixed Yes Development, Appraisal, WELL_TYPE describes the major objective of the well as it was initially designed. The Well Types Exploration, Stratigraphic, definitions are as follows: Water Bore, BMR, Coal Development - A production well drilled to develop for exploitation of a hydrocarbon accumulation Bore, Scout, Methane discovered by previous drilling. A development well may have a pre-drill classification of DEV, SRV, or MSC. A development well may have an exploration component in its initial design to test for As per the wtype field in the shallower or deeper pools. If so, this may be specified in the pre-drill classification as SPT or DPT. PEDIN database Note that a well drilled from a platform is usually, but not always, a development well and is directional. Appraisal - A well drilled primarily to assess a known or discovered area for development purposes. The pre-drill classification, if it is known, is usually EXT. However, if the well is designed to test for new pools at other stratigraphic horizons the pre-drill classification may be SPT or DPT. Exploration - A well drilled to explore and discover new hydrocarbon accumulations or explore the limits of a previously discovered accumulation. The pre-drill classification may be NFW or NPW if the well is testing an unknown area (also known as a WILDCAT well), or EXT if the well is designed to explore the limits of a previously discovered accumulation. Other terminology commonly used for the latter include EXTENSION, STEP OUT, OUTPOST, DELINEATION. Stratigraphic - An exploration well, geologically directed, to obtain information pertaining to a specific earth condition that might lead toward a possible accumulation of hydrocarbons. It must be drilled without the intention of being completed for hydrocarbon production. The pre-drill classification is STR. Water Bore - A well drill specifically for water or water sampling. BMR - A well drilled by the Bureau of Mineral Resources. This category is no longer used; some older data use this terminology. Coal Bore - A drillhole for coal exploration. Scout - QLD Department of Mines classification. This category no longer used; some older data use this terminology. Methane - A well drilled for methane drainage or recovery. status 22,22,C mixed Yes Dry; Gas Well; Gas Petroleum status of the well as per PEDIN Dry is used in the sense of denoting no Suspended; Oil Well; Oil database (with expanded abbreviations) commercial hydrocarbons at the time of Suspended; Oil and Gas completion of the well and includes most wells Well; Oil and Gas classified as "plugged and abandoned". Other Suspended; Shut In; well categories, such as Water Well, Gas Suspended; Proposed Injection Well, Observation Well, etc. should have a status of "Dry". Proposed wells are wells which are expected to be drilled. This status changes once the well commences drilling.

AGSO - Geoscience Australia Data Dictionary for GIS Products Version 2001.08 91 class1 4,4,C upper Yes DEV, SRV, MSC, EXT, SPT, Pre-drill classification based on the AAPG/APEA well classifications and BRS/AGSO conventions. DPT, NFW, NPW, STR The class definitions are as follows: DEVELOPMENT WELL (DEV) - A well drilled to exploit a hydrocarbon accumulation discovered by previous drilling. SERVICE WELL (SRV) - A well that is either drilled or completed for the purpose of supporting production of an existing field through observation, injection, water supply, etc. MISCELLANEOUS (MSC) - Any test drilled that does not fit any of the classifications. Generally this pertains to Development well types, for example, Waste Disposal and Gas Storage tests or wells. EXTENSION TEST (EXT) - An extension test is located and drilled with the expectation of extending for a considerable distance the productive area of a partly developed pool. It is usually two or more locations distant from the nearest productive area. Sometimes an extension discovers a new pool. SHALLOWER POOL TEST (SPT) - A shallower pool test is exploratory only if drilled in search of some new productive reservoir, unknown but possibly suspected from data secured from other wells. The test must be located within the productive area of a pool, or pools, previously developed. Sometimes such a test extends a shallower pool partly developed elsewhere in the same field. DEEPER POOL TEST (DPT) - A deeper pool test is an exploratory hole located within a productive area of a pool, or pools, already partly or wholly developed. It is drilled below the deepest such pool penetrated by it in order to explore for deeper unknown prospects. Sometimes such a hole extends a deeper pool which has been partly developed in another part of the field. NEW FIELD WILDCAT (NFW) - A new field wildcat is located far from producing pools, and on a structure which has not produced before. In regions where local structure has little or no control on accumulation, these holes are generally at least two miles from the nearest productive area. Distance, however, is not the determining factor. The classification is based on the degree of risk assumed be the operator, and his intention to test a structure or stratigraphic condition not previously proven productive. NEW POOL WILDCAT (NPW) - A new pool wildcat is located to explore for new pools on a structure already producing, but off to one side of the presently producing area. In some regions where local structure is almost negligible as a control, exploration holes of this group may be called "near wildcat". Such will usually be less than two miles from the nearest productive area. Sometimes a new pool wildcat may extend a pool already partly developed; if so its final classification is an "Extension". STRATIGRAPHIC TEST (STR) - A drilling effort, geologically directed, to obtain information pertaining to a specific earth condition that might lead toward a possible accumulation of hydrocarbons. It must be drilled without the intention of being completed for hydrocarbon production. This classification includes tests identified as "core test" by some operators. SHALLOW POOL DISCOVERY (SPD) - A well that results in the discovery, as defined below, of a shallower pool as described in SHALLOWER POOL TEST. DEEPER POOL DISCOVERY (DPD) - A well that results in the discovery, as defined below, of a deeper pool as described in DEEPER POOL TEST. NEW FIELD DISCOVERY (NFD) - A well that results in the discovery, as defined below, of a new field as described under NEW FIELD WILDCAT. NEW POOL DISCOVERY (NPD) - A well that results in the discovery, as defined below, of a new pool as described under NEW POOL WILDCAT. Definition of DISCOVERY A discovery is defined here as a well from which any discrete and measurable amount of oil or gas is recovered from a previously unknown accumulation; no consideration of commerciality is implied. This definition has been in use since 1987.

RULES

1. Classification of linear features is governed by geological certainty and positional accuracy. For example, boundaries are established or inferred. Established boundaries may be accurate, approximate or concealed. Inferred boundaries are approximate and may be concealed (deduced, not observed). A concealed but not inferred boundary is one established by sub-surface exploration or is an established boundary beneath cover. 2. AGSO code is an integer number comprised of: the ’section’ to which the feature belongs (first 2 digits), the number of the feature (next 3 digits), and the classification (positional accuracy/geological certainty) of the feature (last 2 digits). 3. Some features only have the ’undefined’, or ’00’, accuracy/certainty codes listed. However, new codes can be created by using the CLASS tables to alter the last two digits of the feature’s AGSO code. 4. The coding system has been designed for use in both digital (GIS) data and to facilitate cartographic symbolisation on maps. For this reason a single feature type e.g. marker bed, may have multiple AGS0 codes because it has multiple symbols. This is not ideal. 5. In digital data, descriptions such as ’tick on younger rocks’ (faults) and ’double arrow indicates steeper limb’ (folds) are meaningless because the cartographic symbolisation is not present. Therefore, as a general rule, the line must be orientated such that particular characteristic described is dextral ie when viewed from the start point to the end point (’FROM’ node to the ’TO’ node) the characteristic described (the younger rocks, or the steeper limb) is on the right. This orientation of the line is often required for cartographic line symbolisation in any case. 6. Dextral is to the right of a line when viewing from the start node. Sinistral is to the left.
