This integrated workflow empowers teams to:
-
Visualize oil families, source rock types, and migration pathways in map view
-
Benchmark regional fluid properties and PVT variability
-
Identify sweet spots using play maturity and volumetric stats
-
Cross-validate discoveries with global datasets and analogs
-
Derisk frontier acreage using real measured data, not assumptions
From the South Atlantic Conjugate Margin case study to global portfolio evaluations, this collaboration enables smarter, faster, and more confident exploration decisions.
Data in action

Oil Family Map
This type of map represents the selected oils’ family definition, which is described more fully in a detailed, written report. In summary, these families are defined by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA). The purpose of these unsupervised machine learning techniques is to best explain the variability of the geochemical data and understand which samples are most similar (or different) from each other and why.
