Subsurface Portal for ArcGIS

Subsurface Portal for ArcGIS

What is the Subsurface Portal?

The Geocap Subsurface Portal is a web-based tool for viewing and exploring subsurface geological data through your browser. It enables organizations to share seismic surveys and borehole data with team members through interactive 3D visualizations, without requiring specialized desktop software.

Key Capabilities

Browser-Based Access View seismic and borehole data through standard web browsers, eliminating the need for specialized desktop software and training for each user.

Integrated Visualization Display subsurface data alongside surface features like infrastructure, boundaries, and environmental zones within your existing GIS environment.

Centralized Deployment Provide data access through your existing ArcGIS infrastructure rather than distributing desktop software licenses.

Collaborative Sharing Share interactive 3D visualizations with colleagues, contractors, regulators, or stakeholders using standard web links.

GIS Integration Work with subsurface data directly within your organization's existing ArcGIS applications and workflows.

Common Use Cases

  • Exploration & Production Teams: Share survey results and geological interpretations

  • Asset Managers: Monitor subsurface conditions near existing infrastructure

  • Environmental & Regulatory Teams: Assess impact zones and compliance areas

  • Project Managers: Communicate findings to non-technical stakeholders

  • Data Managers: Provide self-service access to geological data archives

Supported Data Types

  • 2D Seismic Lines: Cross-sectional views of subsurface geology

  • 3D Seismic Volumes: Three-dimensional geological structures

  • Borehole/Well Data: Drilling results and formation data

  • Integrated Views: Combine subsurface data with surface maps, satellite imagery, and other GIS layers

Basic Workflow

  1. Publish seismic and borehole data through ArcGIS Server

  2. Build web applications using ArcGIS Web AppBuilder or Experience Builder

  3. Share applications with end users

No plugins or special software needed on the client side—just a modern web browser.
