| Name | Type | Definition | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ExcavatingMachine_P | Feature Type | A mechanical device for removing materials from the ground. | For example, a dredger, a powershovel, and a dragline. |
| ExtractionMine_P | Feature Type | An excavation made in the terrain for the purpose of extracting and/or exploiting natural resources. | - |
| ExtractionMine_S | Feature Type | An excavation made in the terrain for the purpose of extracting and/or exploiting natural resources. | - |
| HydrocarbonsField_S | Feature Type | An area where the presence of recoverable petroleum, oil, and/or natural gas has been identified. | The field can exist regardless of current exploitation activities. |
| MineShaftSuperstructure_C | Feature Type | A structure over a vertical mine shaft containing machinery (for example: a winding head or hoist) used to transport minerals, equipment, and/or workers between the surface and various levels within the mine. | It is usually the most prominent structure at a shaft mining facility. |
| MineShaftSuperstructure_P | Feature Type | A structure over a vertical mine shaft containing machinery (for example: a winding head or hoist) used to transport minerals, equipment, and/or workers between the surface and various levels within the mine. | It is usually the most prominent structure at a shaft mining facility. |
| MineShaftSuperstructure_S | Feature Type | A structure over a vertical mine shaft containing machinery (for example: a winding head or hoist) used to transport minerals, equipment, and/or workers between the surface and various levels within the mine. | It is usually the most prominent structure at a shaft mining facility. |
| MineralPile_P | Feature Type | A man-made heap of mining or quarrying products that does not contain waste materials. | For example, a pile of coal or quarried stones. |
| MineralPile_S | Feature Type | A man-made heap of mining or quarrying products that does not contain waste materials. | For example, a pile of coal or quarried stones. |
| NonWaterWell_P | Feature Type | A shaft sunk into the ground to reach and tap a supply of liquids and/or gases other than water intended for use in agriculture or domestic consumption. | Typically drilled to tap underground reservoirs of hydrocarbons (for example: petroleum or natural gas). May also, for example, yield geothermally heated liquids for use in power generation or heating, or brine for use in the extraction of salt. |
| NonWaterWell_S | Feature Type | A shaft sunk into the ground to reach and tap a supply of liquids and/or gases other than water intended for use in agriculture or domestic consumption. | Typically drilled to tap underground reservoirs of hydrocarbons (for example: petroleum or natural gas). May also, for example, yield geothermally heated liquids for use in power generation or heating, or brine for use in the extraction of salt. |
| Rig_P | Feature Type | A superstructure fitted for drilling or lifting operations for extraction and/or exploitation of natural resources. | - |
| Rig_S | Feature Type | A superstructure fitted for drilling or lifting operations for extraction and/or exploitation of natural resources. | - |
| ShearWall_C | Feature Type | The wall of the excavation within a quarry or extraction mine. | - |
| ShearWall_S | Feature Type | The wall of the excavation within a quarry or extraction mine. | - |
| Well_P | Feature Type | An excavation drilled or dug into the ground (for example: the sea bed) for the extraction of liquids and/or gases. | - |
| Well_S | Feature Type | An excavation drilled or dug into the ground (for example: the sea bed) for the extraction of liquids and/or gases. | - |
