New PetroView dataset – Arabian Peninsula

We are delighted to announce the launch of PetroView Arabian Peninsula. This dataset includes the following countries: Kuwait and Neutral Zone, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman and Yemen and the core PetroView layers: wells, licences and fields.

PetroView Arabian Peninsula also contains standard PetroView cultural data layers (basin outlines, bathymetry, coastline, cities, roads, provinces and rivers) and will be updated quarterly during 2006. This dataset is available for the MapInfo and ArcView (ESRI) GIS platforms.
