What is Geofacets?
Launched in 2010, Geofacets enables users to search and access over 385,000 maps, (275,000
of which are georeferenced), sourced from over 110,000 articles from over 60 market-leading
scientific journals and publications from five publishers, and seamlessly integrate them into your
workflow

1. Deepen geologic knowledge and understanding of a basin
2. 3rd party exploration lease negotiations such as when participating in data
rooms
3. Maintain knowledge base for regions and basins of strategic importance with
weekly alerts from published scientific literature, maps and and associated data
4. Enhance proprietary maps, GIS and Petrel projects
5. Find analog data and relevant information to constrain basin models
andswer questions (e.g., reservoir thickness, TOC, heat index, etc)
6. Gather data for volumetric assessments, basin, prospect, play risk
assessment and ranking
7. Identification of potential for hydrocarbon system when little or no
proprietary information is available
Examples of Geofacets Use Cases

Use Case Demo – Hydrocarbon System Assessment
Project Objective
• Identify potential for hydrocarbon system in the Southwest African Coastal Basin
- trap
- reservoir
- seal
- charge
Project Challenge
• Limited or no seismic or well data
• 1- 2 week timeframe for assessment
