OSTI ID:6164616
The US Bureau of Mines diskette contains analyses and related source data for 162 natural gas samples collected from 15 states in the US and 4 foreign countries. All samples were obtained and analyzed as part of the Bureau's investigations of the occurrences of helium in natural gases of countries with free market economies. The survey has been conducted since 1917. The analyses on the diskette contain the full range of component analysis data. Four files are on this diskette: DOCUMENT.TXT, ANALYS92.TXT, ALALYS92.DBF, and BASINCDE.TXT. The DOCUMENT.TXT file contains documentation. The ANALYS92.TXT file contains 162 natural gas analysis records in ASCII nondelimited, fixed length format. The length of each record is 411 characters. The ALALYS92.DBF file contains the same records in dBase IV format. If previously released diskettes in this series have been purchased, the user can either import the TXT file into dBase IV or append the DBF file to the USHEANAL.DBF file. The BASINCDE.TXT file relates the basin code numbers in the OKLA.TXT file to the basin code names as determined by the AAPG's committee on statistics of drilling. See also R.F. Meyer's 'Geologic Code Map for Computer Use', AAPG Bulletin; vol. 54, no. 7, July 1970, pp 1301 - 1305.
