Reduce subsurface uncertainty with Collaborative Data Integration in 3D space and powerful analytics

The Stratbox Suite helps geologists and engineers in Energy, Mining, Engineering and Academia, reduce geological uncertainty in investment decisions.

We help organisations collaborate and communicate complex environments, improve interpretations and create a better interaction between multi-disciplinary teams.

The digital twin of well core data

A web-based platform that helps organisations create an integrated, digital twin of their well core and related data. Core Explorer gives multidisciplinary teams on-demand access for real-time collaboration.

Users can harness the power of their digitised internal collections of core data to reduce inter-well subsurface uncertainty, leading to more accurate interpretations.

Powered by the Stratbox Python API for machine learning.

Stratbox Connect available on Desktop and VR

Real-time collaboration with

remote teams

The cutting-edge collaboration platform for professionals working with photogrammetry 3D models. Stratbox Connect gives users remote access to cloud-based datasets, enabling them to collaborate in real time. Users can share visuals, movements and interpretations from anywhere in the world, while satellite imagery integration enhances the ability to switch between kilometer-scale to outcrop scale.

Available in VR and Desktop.

Quantitative outcrop interpretation

A new, comprehensive module that drastically improves the accuracy of geological analysis. In Stratbox Analytics users can import both georeferenced and local 3D outcrop models derived from photogrammetry or lidar, for analysis and visualization. Images can be overlayed on outcrops and exported as shapefiles.

The interface allows users to arrange interpretations via a layering system, and cluster these based on geological context, making it easier to work with reservoir geomodelling_._

“We used Stratbox in workshops to train people in the assets. This gave an improved view of the subsurface which resulted in accelerated appraisals and understanding of basin heterogeneity, optimisation of landing zones and geometry of wells in addition to improving knowledge for well completion. The workshops we ran using the software also allowed us to expose more professionals to the outcrops. Stratbox allowed us to leverage and maximise the value of the acquired data. The value of the data investment is crystallised via Stratbox Connect. If you cannot show and work with the integrated data in a collaborative manner, then the value of collecting outcrop data is gone. The Stratbox Connect platform enables collaboration and having the models on the cloud is what differentiates Stratbox from other applications.”

"We tested Stratbox at TotalEnergies and were surprised of the broad spectrum of possibilities of the software for field geological training and eventually to be incorporated in exploration workflows. Combined with the power of VR headsets and drone technology, it can help plan outcrop trips as well as teaching in place with limited hardware needs. Moreover, this technology could potentially be used in other operational applications and HSE prevention offshore and onshore."

"YPF and Shell joined forces to develop a new project for Vaca Muerta Fm. characterisation. The purpose was to study Vaca Muerta in different paleogeographic settings and at different work scales, complement and reinforce concepts of the on-site field school and establish analogies between outcrop and subsurface data. We used the interactive virtual reality platform for geosciences, Stratbox, as a framework to work on the observations and interpretations of 3D outcrop models and in cross-company courses and workshops for multidisciplinary teams. The results obtained during the joint project enhanced the characterisation of the Vaca Muerta Fm. in outcrops and cores and helped quantify its aerial and vertical heterogeneity at different scales. Likewise, concepts associated with the development of the Vaca Muerta play were addressed. The integration and collaboration between DroneXplora, Stratbox, Shell and YPF was key to the success of the project.”

"Stratbox provides a powerful collaborative, interactive learning tool. Students can be independent and study the outcrops themselves in a similar real-life environment and with Stratbox, it is possible to integrate data from seismic to thin sections, improving the immersive learning."

Jonathan E. SnowProfessor and Chair at the Department of Geology and Geophysics, Louisiana State University, US

“We chose Stratbox as it specialises in Geology. We used the technology during the pandemic as we couldn’t go to the field. We have since realised the power of the tools and use Stratbox not to replace the field experience but to enhance it as it helps to visualise the outcrops from different perspectives. We use the technology to help students get familiar with different types of rocks, stratigraphy and geometries and it makes a difference. Students are excited about the platform as it increases their curiosity and provides much more interaction between students before the field trips.”

Juan Carlos Laya Carbonate Sedimentologist and Assistant Professor, Texas A&M University, US

"During COVID, we took the opportunity to explore different technologies. Stratbox (formerly 3DGaia) allowed students a rich, collaborative 3D workspace in which they could experience a range of geological structures, develop their observational and descriptive field skills and discuss alternative interpretations in small "virtual" groups. We have continued to include Stratbox in our overall programme of Fieldwork. It provides a safe and inclusive environment to develop/practice certain key field skills prior to departure for actual fieldwork and also an opportunity to reinforce/critically evaluate field-based interpretations on return to the University. Visits to key field areas will remain a key part of the experience for many geoscience students but virtual fieldwork is also here to stay."

Mark AndersonProfessor of Geology - School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences (Faculty of Science and Engineering), University of Plymouth, UK

What training providers are saying

"Virtual outcrops afford views that would generally not be possible from the ground which gives a far clearer impression of the overall 3D architecture. Data can be integrated, to provide simultaneous small-scale views of outcrop detail over a large part of the system. In the field this would require taking observations made over hours or days, and integrating them after the event. This can be done instantaneously within Stratbox."

Professor Ben Keller Emeritus Professor at University of Aberdeen

"Stratbox provides a fabulous platform for viewing and interpreting outcrops in 3-dimensions. While we may think that virtual outcrops may never replace the real thing, Stratbox delivers opportunities to make detailed examination of classic outcrops for those unable to travel to them and affords the potential to maintain and apply knowledge for those who have been on trips to the outcrops."

Mike MayallVisiting Professor at Imperial College, UK

"I was highly impressed with Stratbox - its functionality allowed us to quickly transfer knowledge about the geological fundamentals of classic outcrops. Not only did we observe outcrops in 3D but also spatially positioned maps and cross-sections which provided valuable context. The digital experience is actually in many ways a more convenient and more logistically simple user experience. It was also a pleasure to work with the Imaged Reality team who provide a very professional level of service."

Stuart Archerformerly of RPS - Chief Geoscientist

"Stratbox allowed me to take my course participants on a virtual tour of some of the world's best outcrops and exchanging ideas by drawing on the rocks (virtually of course)! We then were able to visit modern analogues on a different continent, looking at process and depositional forms. A fabulous communication tool, utilising the best of modern imaging technology."

Steph KapeSedimentologist

"The interactive capabilities of Stratbox enhanced the learning experience when viewing 3D outcrop images, not least by enabling of observations and interpretations to be compared and discussed. This is the case whether a 'field trip' is entirely remote due to limited opportunity to access an area, or in providing additional perspective to groups visiting an outcrop or reviewing their field studies at a later date."
