Geocube

The range of interests in energy related activities across the U.S., including research, planning, response, assessments, etc., highlights the need for web mapping applications capable of meeting this broad array of user needs. EDX Spatial was developed to fill this gap by providing a highly customizable, flexible web mapping application that concatenates commonly used spatial data and information into an application that supports a variety of technical users and purposes.

EDX Spatial connects users to data and information spanning the subsurface to the surface via Energy Data eXchange (EDX), integrating its online search capabilities and from current data feeds. Users can create and download custom maps consisting of spatial elements of interest.

The initial EDX Spatial product known as Geocube focused on the offshore Gulf of Mexico (GOM) region and supports NETL’s GOM Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) risk assessment for the Gulf of Mexico deep and ultra-deepwater offshore.

EDX Spatial now supports NETL’s numerous spatial datasets to view and analyze the components of the offshore Gulf of Mexico hydrocarbon system, Carbon Storage Open Database, Rare Earth Elements, Global Oil and Gas Infrastructure (GOGI), Carbon Management Projects (CONNECT), and more. EDX Spatial is updated regularly with additional data and functionality as NETL research progresses.
