Global Seeps
Exploring oil seeps in the World's offshore basins can be very costly both in time and money.
Infoterra has charted the oil slicks within the major oceans of the World, to create a seeps database covering over 60 million km² – spanning the Arctic to South America and from Europe through to the Far East and Australia.
This Global Seeps database is used widely as a cost-effective risk-ranking tool in new exploration areas, as well as for baseline oil pollution mapping.
Coverage: global data from the Americas through to Europe and the Far East = over 12,800 ERS equivalent scenes.
Availability: immediate delivery as a GIS product.
Flexibility: available on a local, regional or global basis, in order to provide you with the exact information you need.
Accuracy: constructed by screening offshore basins to a depth of approximately 3,000 metres using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite data to identify all potential oil seeps.
Our team is experienced in oil slick identification and characterisation studies – providing probable slick type and confidence level.
Global Seeps data is ideal for:
- Screening frontier basins
- Integrated petroleum systems analysis
- Planning surface geochemical programmes
- Initial environmental risk assessment to full environmental baseline studies

Global Seeps data is available now as a regional study or corporate package. Contact us today to find out more.
