What are detailed structure maps?
Detailed structure maps of an area show geological expression at several levels (shallow, medium, and deep horizon) as well as cross-sections—images of well logs laid side by side showing the cross-section of the earth as it is recorded by electronic tools that are put into the drilled hole.
- Regional dips
- Isolated and localized structures
- Structure contoured on multiple horizons
- Contour lines depth identified
- Establish historical producing fields
- Faults
- Folds
- Unconformities
- Subcrops
- Salt Structure
- Outcrops and more
Detailed structure maps are typically used for oil and gas exploration purposes, as they allow the geologists to quickly access the geology of a large area.

Formats & Fees Our detailed structure maps can be accessed online or licensed in a paper format or as digital files.

Digital map files
Georeferenced tiffs, shape files, or geodatabase files of the detailed structure maps for an area can only be licensed and need to be returned at the end of the licensing period.
A license fee depends on the cost of keeping a map up-to-date, including well spotting, data gathering, interpretation, as well as the amount of historical data within a map.
The minimum licensing period is one year.
To find out the exact licensing fee for a particular area, please contact our sales team.

Online access
Online access to our detailed structure maps is included in the GeoMap Online package.

Paper maps
To license a set of detailed structure maps in a paper format, please contact our sales team. The minimum licensing period is 6 months.
Structure maps can only be licensed and must to be returned at the end of the licensing period.
How Geomaps maps are created Hand-drawn by geologists with 30+ years of experience, updated quarterly
Creating a contour map is a highly interpretive process. And although a computer can create a map much faster, a map created by an experienced geologist is usually more accurate.
The reason for it is that a computer spreads contours while relying on a mathematical calculation and not a geological interpretation. But an interpreter who knows the geology of an area incorporates all the aspects of local geology into that contoured map.
For example, a computer might evenly space the contours between the two points with different elevations, where in reality a monocline may exist. An experienced geologist familiar with the area will include the axis of a monocline, which will result in a more accurate map.
