Basin Data (International)

Easy Access to Basin Analysis

Petroleum System and Play Data for 480 Basins
The Basin Dataset provides a detailed geological description of the various stratigraphic sequences (genetic units).

• Petroleum systems description combines details of potential and proven source rocks with Plays.
• Plays data gives detailed (lithostratigraphic) description of reservoirs, seals and traps. 
• Play definition is integrated with the reservoir description in the Field database and offers a unique dataset to determine the real potential of producing or prospective plays. 
• Our Basin Dataset is the only dataset in the world that allows reserves distribution, risk analysis and yet-to-find analysis on the play level. 

Exploration, Development and Production History
This section summarizes past activity and success to help you evaluate opportunities and risks for future exploration in the basin. 

Multiple Images
Multiple Images, such as stratigraphic charts, tectonic, structural and stratigraphic distribution maps, geological cross-sections and representative well log or seismic sections, help you quickly understand the main characteristics of the basin.

Geological Layers
A worldwide set of Geological Layers is available with main structural elements (major fault zones), oceanic features like wrench faults, oceanic magnetic anomalies and salt domes assist to map geological trends.

E&P Data Integration
Our dataset's ability to integrate exploration and production data extends your reach beyond solely geographical interpretations. The unique links between geology, petroleum systems, plays and exploration and production data, as shown in the schematic below, provide easy access to and detailed analysis of exploration success and reserves for different geological units.

The Basin Dataset is a complementary to our International Exploration and Production (E&P) Database.

International Exploration and Production Database
The International Exploration and Production (E&P) Database is the most comprehensive and reliable dataset available to oil and gas industry professionals today. Data is controlled in a unique relation data model (IRIS21) that provides a fully integrated data area with over 13,000 E&P data attributes. This fully integrated model allows for the combination of many different attributes, some of which are provided below.

IHS Basin Dataset
Data in the Basin Dataset is available in standard format. Using IHS GIS software products, including EDIN and IHS Enerdeq® Desktop, you can easily conduct comparative and analogue studies.

Our Basin Dataset supports a variety of critical workflows. Some of the most popular of these include:

• Fast initial screening for basin potential 
• Basin ranking and comparative studies 
• Petroleum system analysis 
• Play fairway mapping 
• Analogue studies
