Integrated Studies
MDA synthesizes the tectonic, dispositional and structural history, integrate a wide array of geologic, geophysical and geochemical data and provide a context for petroleum exploration.
Tectonic Synthesis
These are regional geologic studies that cover large areas (more than 500,00 km²) and usually include more than one basin. They synthesize the tectonic, dispositional and structural history, integrate a wide array of geologic, geophysical and geochemical data and provide a context for petroleum exploration.
Each study includes a satellite image mosaic with regional tectonic, structure and petroleum occurrences overlays, a suite of image maps with geologic overlays, a detailed report, a bibliography and ancillary data. See Off-the-Shelf Interpretations.
