Midland Valley reports on an innovative, ‘open’ 3D geological modeling solution from the Swiss federal office of topography’s GeoMol
cross-border data modelling project. The EU-backed GeoMol project is
investigating the potential of Alpine foreland basins for energy
storage and production including hydrocarbon potential.
Midland
Valley’s contribution leverages its Move structural modeling package
which has been extended to work with third party 3D data
stores. Amongst these is GiGa info-systems’
‘revolutionary’ Geosciences in space and time (GST) system. GST stores
spatial data in any relational database using open standards such as
the OGC’s simple feature standard. GST is agnostic to the underlying
database management system.
The GST link provides Move users with the ability to store and retrieve data in a 3D enterprise scale relational database and access full or partial features via spatial querying. The GeoMol project uses Move as the geologist’s access point for cross-border data covering the Alpine Foreland Basin area in six national areas. More from Midland Valley.
