Field mapping | DAT Geoscience

Rigorous structural and geological field mapping is the foundation of everything we do. Before any model or interpretation, someone has to go to the outcrop, look carefully, and record what is actually there.

We plan and carry out field campaigns, collect systematic structural and stratigraphic data, and build a field-based understanding that anchors and validates the work that follows, whether the outcome is a map, a cross-section, a report or an input to your subsurface project.

What we can do

Planning and running structural and geological field campaigns
Systematic collection of structural measurements (bedding, faults, folds and fabrics) and sampling
Detailed outcrop description, logging and correlation
Geological and structural mapping, and cross-section construction
Ground-truthing and validating existing maps, models and interpretations
Outcrop analogue studies to inform subsurface projects
Fieldwork in structurally complex terrains: fold-and-thrust belts, salt and inverted rifts

Working with us

Research-led and industry-tested

Our advice is grounded in peer-reviewed research and in real industry experience, including years interpreting subsurface data in the hydrocarbon sector.

From outcrop to subsurface

We combine fieldwork, subsurface interpretation and a research background spanning salt tectonics, structural geology and geo-energy.

Independent and objective

As an outside team, we bring a fresh, unbiased view that complements your own, and we say what we see.

Clear, decision-ready outputs

You receive concise, well-documented deliverables you can act on, not just a report that sits on a shelf.
