A better way to gather geologic knowledge and insights

A better way to gather geologic knowledge
and insights and inform your critical decisions.
Geofacets is a searchable database of georeferenced geological maps
that enables geoscientists working in the early stages of Upstream
exploration to assess a region’s or basin’s geologic characteristics with
efficiency and confidence.

INTUITIVE SEARCH FEATURES
DESIGNED FOR GEOSCIENTISTS
MAP OVERLAYS FROM LEADING
INFORMATION PROVIDERS
Search for maps associated with
a region, country or basin via an
interactive map interface
IHS geologic basin map overlays
can be easily viewed with a click
of a button
Use geo-based search facets to
refine results by map type, map
surface area, and geological basin.
Wood Mackenzie’s commercial
map overlays allow users to view
commercial data alongside scientific
information, and enable users to
view commercial information
by basin or country
