Getech, a world-leading locator of subsurface resources, has released a new version of its flagship geoscience platform Globe, designed to enhance resource exploration. The new release, called Globe 2024, further solidifies Globe as the go-to solution for petroleum, mineral, hydrogen and geothermal explorers.
Globe models the Earth鈥檚 geological evolution over the past 400 million years, delivering approximately 40,000 layers of detailed data for the exploration of critical resources such as minerals, natural hydrogen, petroleum, geothermal energy and carbon storage. By integrating AI-powered machine learning techniques and combining geoscience expertise with best-in-class geological modelling and geophysical data, Globe provides a digital twin of Earth that enables its users to better understand how the evolution of our planet has controlled the location of its natural resources, so that they can more easily find them.
With Getech鈥檚 commitment to continuous innovation and providing data-led exploration services and solutions, the Globe 2024 release offers even more value to its customers:
- Enhanced Dynamic Plate Models: These models provide critical insights into tectonic activity and resource formation, helping users pinpoint areas rich in hydrocarbons, geothermal energy and minerals, including copper and other critical resources.
- Expanded Paleogeographies and Paleo-surface Geology: New layers of paleosurface geology offer insights into ancient sediment supply, helping companies assess reservoir quality and the potential for hydrocarbon deposits. These features are also valuable for mineral exploration, deepening the understanding of the Earth鈥檚 land surface over time.
- Improved Crustal Architecture Mapping: With refined 2D gravity and magnetic models, Globe provides a more detailed understanding of crustal configurations. This enhanced mapping is invaluable for targeting resources like hydrocarbons, critical minerals and geothermal energy, supporting efficient and cost-effective exploration.
- Advanced Thermal Mapping Powered by AI: This update introduces enhanced thermal mapping layers, improved using machine learning algorithms. The result is a more consistent thermal data set, which is vital for geothermal energy and petroleum exploration.
- Natural Hydrogen Potential: This update includes improvements to layers associated with ophiolites, which are important in identifying natural hydrogen sources. This provides users with the tools to explore new opportunities in this emerging energy sector.
Richard Bennett, CEO at Getech, commented:
鈥淭he latest Globe update underscores our commitment to leading the way in resource exploration. Through regular engagement with our clients, we continuously refine our products to meet their evolving needs. This update ensures they have the most accurate and effective tools to drive their exploration programmes forward.
As the demand for cleaner energy continues to rise, Globe鈥檚 enhanced capabilities reflect Getech鈥檚 dedication to supporting the global energy transition. By delivering cutting-edge geoscience data and solutions, Globe empowers companies to uncover the resource potential for tomorrow鈥檚 energy landscape.鈥�
