Why DEO?

Datapages Exploration Objects™ gives you the ability to find the maps, tables, cross-sections, and other exploration objects you need – faster and more easily than ever before, geo-rectified and GIS-ready.

Illustration of how maps and other objects are extracted from publications.Next-Generation Search & Retrieval.

Suppose, for example, you need to evaluate opportunities in North America’s Williston Basin. The old approach: search published articles to find the maps and other exploration objects you need; extract those objects and, then, convert them to the format required for use in your GIS system – and in your reporting.

DEO shortens that process from hours or days to minutes – and gives you the power to bring analysis and evaluation to whole new levels of comprehensiveness and granularity.

Created by petroleum geologists for petroleum geologists, DEO mines a deep index of more than half a million articles published by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and a continually growing list of content partners – now including over 55 petroleum geology organizations – captured in the vast, electronic AAPG Datapages Archives.

Search by text or by “drawing” on the interactive DEO background map. Then, fine-tune your search in minutes – and select the objects you need. Each image is geo-rectified – so converting to a GIS information layer is quick and easy.

With DEO, you have direct access to more than 385,000 captioned figures, 67,000 tables, and every map in the Archives since 1989 – with no committee of authors or editors deciding what they think will be useful to you and your organization.

The result? Better-informed decision-making with less delay. And major savings in labor, time, and dollars– hundreds of dollars, on average, for every map, cross-section and seismic line you use.

Bottom line: DEO can make any organization involved in oil and gas  exploration more competitive – and more profitable.
