International Exploration Data

West Africa - Full GIS Data Coverage

This project is one of a series of new GIS products designed to exploit the power and ease of use of ArcGIS as a tool for the explorationist. The product consists of a wide variety of exploration and production related maps linked to well/field databases, well logs and seismic section links managed from within ESRI's ArcGIS application suite.

An important feature of this study is that it brings together the complementary skills of Fairway Exploration - interpretation of geological, geochemical, seismic and potential field data for petroleum exploration, and Lynx Information Systems - seismic data acquisition, processing and GIS development, both of whom have extensive experience of exploration throughout West Africa and analogous areas.

This GIS digital exploration package is organised into several modules - please ask for a detailed listing:

Regional Basemap & Database Themes

Well Database

Field Database

Regional Exploration Map Themes
A series of regional structure maps and isopachs, originally mapped at a scale of 1:250,000 using wells, seismic and potential field data

Country Exploration Themes
Producing and potential reservoirs, source and cap rocks are mapped and reviewed in a basin-by-basin analysis of the prospective sedimentary section. A large number of prospective plays and leads have been identified and the hydrocarbon bearing potential for each of these producing trends and exploration plays is evaluated.

A 640-page report, including text, tables and figures, integrates the available geological, geophysical and geochemical data to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of the basin. This report is provided digitally as a PDF.
