Name: Nord Sahara 1959 to WGS 84 (7)
Method: Geocentric translations (geog2D domain)
Remarks: Derived at 11 stations throughout blocks 317b, 319b, 321b and 322b. Network based on station P4 (horizontal) and benchmark RN51 (vertical) using EGM96 geoid height. Used by Equinor in Hassi Mouina. May be taken as a transformation to RGSH2020 (CT 10342).
Information source: Enageo via Sonatrach.
Revision date: 2023-06-29
Unit: degree (supplier to define representation)
Geodetic CRS: Nord Sahara 1959
Datum: Nord Sahara 1959
Ellipsoid: Clarke 1880 (RGS)
Prime meridian: Greenwich
Data source: EPSG
Information source: "Le System Geodesique Nord-Sahara"; IGN Paris
Revision date: 2012-04-18
Scope: Geodesy.
Remarks: Sometimes incorrectly referred to as Voirol Unifie 1960: this is NOT a GeogCRS but two projected CRSs based on Nord Sahara 1959 (codes 30791-92). Strictly applicable only to north of 32°N but extended southwards non-homogoneously by oil industry.
Area of use: Algeria - onshore and offshore.
Coordinate system: Ellipsoidal 2D CS. Axes: latitude, longitude. Orientations: north, east. UoM: degree
Center coordinates
0.63 30.12
