Other Data


The files of the Alabama State Oil and Gas Board and the Geological Survey of Alabama include much information that may be of value for basin analysis in the Alabama Gulf Coastal Plain. Excel files that are guides to these data are available on the internet at http://ogbweb.gsa.tuscaloosa.al.us/ or http://gsa.tuscaloosa.al.us/. A listing of these files and a description of their utility is given in the following paragraphs.
The files of the Alabama State Oil and Gas Board include much information that may be of value for basin analysis in the Alabama Gulf Coastal Plain. One of these sources of public but unpublished information consists of exhibits submitted in support of dockets that were presented before the State Oil and Gas Board. This summary describes the table entitled "Occurrence of Geologic and Engineering Data in Alabama State Oil and Gas Board Exhibits." The table is included as a Microsoft Excel 4.0 file called "EXHIBITS.XLS".
Engineering and geochemical data are also available at the Alabama State Oil and Gas Board and include PVT analyses, and hydrocarbon analyses, chiefly gas-composition analyses. A table describing these data is included in a Microsoft Excel 4.0 file called "ENGDAT.XLS".
The files of the Economic Geology Division of the Geological Survey of Alabama include an extensive collection of petrographic thin sections. A listing of thin sections of the Smackover Formation from the Mississippi Interior Salt Basin in Alabama is in an Excel 4.0 spreadsheet called "THINSEC1.XLS". Another file called "THINSEC.XLS" contains a listing of 35-mm photographic slides of thin sections of the Smackover Formation from the Mississippi Interior Salt Basin in Alabama, and a file called "PTCOUNT.XLS" contains point-count data for the thin sections.
