Online Structure Maps & Interpreted Formation Tops (US)

Online Structure Maps and Interpreted Formation Tops lets you obtain fast, accurate regional insights into the geology of key US basins by subscribing to either our Online Structure Maps or our Interpreted Formation Tops data files. Formerly from Geological Data Services (GDS), Geological Consulting Services (GCS) and Exploration Data Services (EDS), now you can optimize your budget directly through IHS and get a competitive edge in today's market by integrating our products into your daily exploration workflow.

Benefits:

Online Structure Maps and Interpreted Formation Tops provide these workflow benefits:

• Faster and more accurate prospect generation through improved log correlations 
• Validation of new and existing prospects against an unbiased dataset and in a regional context
• Map gross geologic structures within a consistent stratigraphic framework for an entire basin 
• Understanding of depositional environments thereby gaining insight into trap components, source rock pathways, and hydrocarbon maturation 
• Acquisition analysis assistance

• Obtain regional geological overviews at your fingertips by accessing StructureMaps or EDSMaps depending on your area of interest
• Quickly and easily create, view and print large regional structure maps online

Features:

• Hand contoured maps updated regularly, with well spot data updated daily 
• Printable to any scale 
• Numerous data layers including faults, well locations and headers, selected formation contours, land-grid, culture information, topography maps, and aerial photos 
• Layer control for custom maps and hand-edited base maps 
• Access raster log data (where available) 
• View or print in quad or seamless versions - the latter allowing you to customize your map area with no more printing and splicing maps

Use Interpreted Formation Tops Data to:

• Understand the stratigraphic and structural geology of an area of interest 
• Quickly turn the data into an in-depth understanding of the regional structure and stratigraphy

Features:

• Data files available in standard E&P formats for easy use in PETRA® and other geological modeling applications as well as ASCII format 
• Files constructed from hundreds of "man years" that have been invested to date on the geological correlations and in well-by-well examination 
• Gross geologic structures can be easily mapped by providing a consistent stratigraphic framework for an entire basin 
• Files are constructed and verified using loop-tied cross sections 
• Each file consists of location and identification information followed by a series of subsurface formation tops 
• Data is updated daily, weekly or monthly depending on the area and industry activity 
• Information is delivered via a CD initially with updates available via the web thereafter
