Royal Holloway Research Uses PaleoGIS

Reconstruction of India, Australia and Antarctica's breakup from Gondwana

Reconstruction of India, Australia and Antarctica’s Breakup from Gondwana

We are pleased to share with you a reconstruction animation created using PaleoGIS by Dr. Lloyd White of Royal Holloway, University of London’s Department of Earth Sciences (Royal Holloway). Dr. White included this reconstruction in his presentation at the The Roberts Conference: Passive Margins 2016 (Roberts Conference), held at Royal Holloway April 6–8. The conference explores the role of mechanisms such as “depth-dependant and differential stretching through the lithosphere, polyphase deformation, magmatic activity, and the interplay between structure and sedimentation in rift and passive margin development.” (See Event Details at GlobalEventsList.elselvier.com)

Dr. White’s presentation focused on the tectonic evolution of Gondwana and geological record of breakup along the Indian, Australian and Antarctic passive margins.

The plate model illustrated in the reconstruction was developed by Dr. White and follows work presented in White et al., (2013) “A reassessment of paleogeographic reconstructions of eastern Gondwana: Bringing geology back into the equation” published in Gondwana Research. The model was also presented by Dr. White at this year’s Roberts Conference at Royal Holloway.

Woodside Energy Ltd. selects PaleoGIS

Woodside Energy Ltd. is the newest user of The Rothwell Group’s plate tectonic reconstruction software, PaleoGIS.
Oil and gas company Woodside Energy selects PaleoGIS software application or app, an extension for ESRI ArcGIS

Woodside Energy Ltd. (Woodside) is Australia’s largest independent oil and gas company, with a proud history of safe and reliable operations spanning decades. The company oversees production of around 900,000 barrels of oil equivalent each day from a portfolio of facilities which they operate on behalf of some of the world’s major oil and gas companies.

In addition, Woodside is the most active exploration company in the deepwater provinces of Australia, having participated in around 36% of the region’s deepwater exploration wells. The company’s international assets include deepwater production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico plus acreage in the USA, Brazil, Peru, Republic of Korea and the Canary Islands.

The Rothwell Group is a software engineering and process optimization company. The company collaborates with its clients to transform their complex business workflows into simplified and tailored solutions that drive operational efficiency, manage costs and increase employee productivity.

The company’s geoscience application, PaleoGIS, revolutionized the effectiveness of tectonic modeling with the introduction of dynamic plate reconstruction analysis and visualization with its release in 2007. Today, the company continues to set the standard as the most technologically advanced and widely used platform for plate reconstruction modeling in the petrochemical and mineral industries including the majority of the largest global oil & gas and mineral exploration companies.
