Geognostics is an international team of geological, geophysical and geospatial experts based in Australia and Europe.
Collectively, the team has many decades of global experience in basement and basin interpretation, structural geology, plate tectonics, geodynamic processes, potential field geophysics, seismic stratigraphy, basin analysis, petroleum systems and GIS.
Geognostics are experts in bottom-up basin analysis that leverage and integrate our unique, in-depth understanding of basement and basin systems via GEM™, the Geognostics Earth Model
GEM, the Geognostics Earth Model
At Geognostics, we have a unique understanding of our world that is encapsulated in GEM, the Geognostics Earth Model. GEM is a collection of modules that provide a new view of global geology.
GEM modules provide a spatially consistent, bottom-up, map-view of global geology that enables explorers to critically evaluate geology and traditional exploration data (well and seismic) in a new light.
Collectively, the GEM Modules provide a predictive framework to understand both basement and basin resources, and to significantly reduce exploration risks.
Global SEEBASE is a high-resolution sub-surface geospatial model that defines the 3D geometry of basement and provides insights into the structural style and tectonic setting of global basin systems and basement geology. It is built using specialized bottom-up workflows, and a hand-contoured structural interpretation, integrating a range of geophysical and geological datasets.
The GEM Tectonics module is a spatially consistent model of the Earth’s crust built using basement terranes and structures, aimed at understanding basin evolution. The Tectonics Module accurately reconstructs the redefined crustal framework back in time using our proprietary plate model.
