EPSG:5751

Fao height

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: Fao height

Datum: Fao

Data source: EPSG

Information source: National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC).

Revision date: 2010-03-01

Scope: Oil and gas exploration and production.

Remarks: Replaced by Bandar Abbas (CRS code 5752) in Iran and Fao 1979 (code 3886) in Iraq. At time of record creation NIOC data in Ahwaz area of Iran and some irrigation project data in Iraq still usually referenced to Fao. Usage in Iraqi oil industry uncertain.

Area of use: Iraq - onshore southeast; Iran - onshore northern Gulf coast and west bordering southeast Iraq.

Coordinate system: Vertical CS. Axis: height (H). Orientation: up. UoM: m.
