In early 2009 FrOG Tech, in conjunction with Cambridge Paleomap Services Ltd at the University of Cambridge, started rebuilding their 2D Plate Reconstruction application to integrate fully with ESRI technology and provide much more flexibility in the editing and use of reconstruction models within organisations.

PaleoArc is comprised of an ArcGIS application written in C++ and designed specifically to address the drawbacks of existing systems. PaleoArc can reconstruct any vector and raster data back in time and produce commonly used analytic products such as rate/azimuth plots,motion vectors, backtracks and flowlines for analysis.

PaleoArc's editing tools make it easy to edit the shape, location and rotation history of existing fragments - or add entirely new fragments to the database. Models are stored in easily-readable ESRI geodatabases so that models, and results generated from them, can be much more widely distributed within organisations. The PaleoArc reconstruction engine also forms the backbone of the TRACKs platform which enables integration of results in to additional workflows and applications.

Reconstruct of your data back in time to better understand the development of petroleum systems. Basin outlines, wells, geological and geophysical data can be restored back to paleolocations to better predict lithofacies in your basins, understand depositional environments, create new paleogeographic maps and correlate tectonic events to understand their affect on your basins.

PaleoArc will soon be available to beta testers. Please contact us if you're interested in participating in the beta or would like more information.
