Seamless integrationGeofacets makes geoscience information and data actionable. Geoscientists can integrate content into essential workflow tools like ArcGIS and Petrel to help build subsurface models. They can also compare proprietary models to published information and vice-versa, characterize a geologic basin, and more. References can be exported to reference management software.
