Welcome to Tellus, Fugro Robertson's extensive play fairway and petroleum systems database. Tellus is designed to provide New Ventures groups and explorationists with a comprehensive and consistent tool for understanding play and basin scale petroleum geology worldwide.
Data for each Tellus region are delivered with an ArcView GIS application which allows the user to view, manipulate, query and output maps, graphic and tabular information. To date, 387 basins have been compiled in the vast dataset.
At the NOC level, Tellus can assist in the delineation of blocks for licensing, applying benchmarks and the evaluation of oil-company bids, and rapidly gaining an understanding of the petroleum geology in areas outside national boundaries for international new ventures.
As a review and evaluation tool Tellus helps to shorten the decision making process, and provides a consistent synthesis both of the published literature and of Fugro Robertson's nonexclusive library, with a clear audit trail and confidence rating for every data element.
