Description:

Abstract:

Data set contains the Bureau of Safety and Engineering (BSEE) Gulf of Mexico Region (GOMR) Offshore Inspection District Boundaries.The District boundaries are not clipped to the OCS Planning Area boundaries therefore this file will extend beyond the Planning Area.

Official Protraction Diagrams and other cadastre information the BOEM produces are generated in accordance with 30 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 256.8 to support Federal land ownership and mineral resource management.Additional details are available from:  http://www.boem.gov/uploadedFiles/BOEM/Oil_and_Gas_Energy_Program/Mapping_and_Data/99-0006.pdf

Because GIS projection and topology functions can change or generalize coordinates, and because shapefiles cannot represent true arcs, these GIS files are considered to be approximate and are NOT an OFFICIAL record for the exact block coordinates or areas. The Official Protraction Diagrams (OPDs) and Supplemental Official Block Diagrams (SOBDs) serve as the legal definition for BOEM offshore boundary coordinates and area descriptions. 

Purpose:

This and other cadastre information the BOEM produces are generated in accordance with 30 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 256.8 to support Federal land ownership and mineral resource management. 

Supplemental_Information:

The BOEM is making its existing cadastre data available at http://www.boem.gov/Oil-and-Gas-Energy-Program/Mapping-and-Data/Index.aspx and on CD-ROM. These data will include digital images of BOEM data at the regional, planning area, Official Protraction Diagram (OPD), and Supplemental Official OCS Block Diagram (SOBD) levels and digital spatial data in Arc/Info export or Arc/View shape format at the regional or planning area levels.

Process_Description:

In house programs were used to draw the inspections districts for the offshore areas.  The resulting lines were then stored in the TIMS database.  Other in-house programs were used to create an ArcInfo Coverage from the data stored in the TIMS database.  That coverage was converted into a shapefile using ArcGIS.
