Field distribution and play fairway maps are presented as GeoPDF pages. A GeoPDF is an interactive PDF map document which allows the user to switch map layers on and off, zoom in, pan, identify and display attribute information.

BEAR is derived from Fugro Robertson's flagship product, Tellus a spatial database of play fairways and petroleum systems throughout the world. The data is derived from both the public domain and Fugro Robertson's extensive multi-client report library, and are interpreted, integrated and synthesised to form the parent product, Tellus. Within Tellus map data are accessed via an ArcGIS interface, which also enables access to the supporting tabular data and diagrams. BEAR does not replace Tellus, but allows the clients to use selected Tellus data outside of ArcGIS.
