What GeoEdges Inc does

GeoEdges Inc is a privately held, Calgary-based geological data company that has been actively publishing subsurface mapping products for the petroleum exploration industry since the mid-1990s under founder Mike Sherwin. The company sells detailed geological edge sets covering major sedimentary basins across North America (Western Canada, Northern US Rockies, Texas/Midcontinent, Eastern US/Appalachian, Mexico), South America, Africa, and Australia, delivered as ESRI Shapefiles, ArcGIS layer files, Petra Thematic Mapper Projects, GeoGraphix projects, and KMZ files compatible with industry-standard mapping platforms including AccuMap, ArcGIS, GeoGraphix, Petra, Petrosys, and geoSCOUT. Its portfolio of 13 established products includes subscription digital edge sets, Continental Overview Series hard copy wall maps, and an emerging Energy Alternatives & Critical Minerals line covering renewable projects, critical minerals, and infrastructure for the USA and Canada.

GeoEdges operates a B2B enterprise sales model selling directly through its website to oil and gas exploration and production companies, with annual license subscriptions priced on a tiered basis according to the customer's daily worldwide production in BOE/d, plus volume and bundle discounts. Wall maps are sold as one-time purchases for $600 each. The company's go-to-market is light: there are no disclosed partnerships, channel resellers, or aggregator integrations, and marketing is primarily through downloadable brochures and ArcGIS-based interactive web maps. The customer base is global in reach (50+ countries) but horizontal in segmentation, with the company maintaining no publicly disclosed customer logos. Geographically, it spans Canada, the United States, Mexico, South American nations, multiple African countries, and Australia, with no operating subsidiaries, no external institutional investment, and no M&A activity disclosed.

Core offering

GeoEdges Inc sells digital geological edge data sets — including sedimentary basin boundary layers and structural/stratigraphic edges — delivered as ESRI Shapefiles and other GIS-compatible formats for use in industry-standard mapping applications. The offering extends to hard-copy wall maps and emerging data layers covering energy alternatives and critical minerals, all distributed under annual licensing subscriptions tied to basin coverage and production tier.

Product overview

GeoEdges Inc offers a portfolio of digital geological mapping products and services for the petroleum exploration and development industry. The core offering consists of regional Geological Edge Sets providing detailed subsurface geology data (field outlines, structural features, formation limits, reservoir trends, structure and isopach maps, and shale gas trends) delivered as ESRI Shapefiles, ArcGIS layer files, Petra Thematic Mapper Projects, and GeoGraphix Projects. The company's regional edge sets cover all of North America (Western Canada, Northern US Rockies/Williston Basin, Texas/Midcontinent, Eastern US/Appalachian Basin, and Mexico) as well as international regions (South America, Africa, and Australia). Complementing the edge sets are Continental Overview Series wall maps showing active oil and gas plays/basins, and Energy Alternatives & Critical Minerals mapping products covering the USA and Canada. All products are available via annual license subscription based on company production volume.

Direct peers

• Enverus: Enverus (formerly Drillinginfo) provides SaaS-based subsurface data, analytics, and geological interpretation tools to upstream oil & gas companies. It is comparable to GeoEdges as a subscription data and mapping platform for exploration workflows, though with broader software integration and analytics capabilities.
• Divestco (now Geologic Systems): Divestco, now operating as Geologic Systems, is a Calgary-based geological and geophysical data and software provider serving the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. It is the closest comparable peer—a small, Calgary-headquartered, Canadian-focused geological data company serving the same upstream E&P customers as GeoEdges.
• TGS: TGS is a leading multi-client geoscience data library company providing seismic, well, and geological data to the oil & gas exploration industry globally. It is directly comparable as a subscription-based geological/geophysical data provider serving the same E&P customer base as GeoEdges, though at vastly larger scale and with seismic focus.
• Canadian Discovery Ltd. Canadian Discovery Ltd. is a Calgary-based geological and engineering consulting firm that produces proprietary information products for the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, including play-based analysis and exploration datasets. It is highly comparable to GeoEdges as a Calgary-based geological information products company serving the same upstream Canadian customer base, and was also Joel Harding's former employer.
• CGG (Compagnie Générale de Géophysique): CGG is a global geoscience technology company providing geological and geophysical data, subsurface imaging, and reservoir characterization services to oil & gas exploration clients. It directly competes with GeoEdges in the geological data and subsurface characterization space, though at much larger enterprise scale.

Broad incumbents

• Halliburton Landmark (DecisionSpace): Halliburton's Landmark division offers DecisionSpace and other geoscience software platforms used for subsurface interpretation and geological mapping in oil & gas exploration. It is comparable to GeoEdges as a provider of geological data and mapping tools for upstream operators, but operates as part of a much larger services and software suite.
• S&P Global Commodity Insights (formerly IHS Markit): S&P Global Commodity Insights provides extensive energy, geological, and subsurface databases covering global oil & gas basins, well data, and play-level analysis. It competes with GeoEdges in the upstream geological data space but as part of a much broader commodity intelligence portfolio serving enterprise E&P customers.
• Wood Mackenzie (Verisk): Wood Mackenzie, now part of Verisk, is a leading provider of commercial data, analytics, and consulting for the energy industry including upstream exploration and subsurface analysis. It overlaps with GeoEdges in upstream geological and exploration data intelligence, but operates at much larger enterprise scale with broader energy transition coverage.
• Schlumberger (SLB) / Petrel: Schlumberger's Petrel platform is an industry-standard subsurface interpretation environment for geological and geophysical analysis used by major E&P operators worldwide. It competes with GeoEdges for the geological mapping workflow within upstream exploration teams, though as part of a comprehensive digital E&P platform.

Emerging players

• LMKR: LMKR provides geoscience software and subsurface data management solutions for the oil & gas industry, including geological mapping tools and G&G data products. It is comparable to GeoEdges as a specialized geoscience data and software provider serving upstream E&P clients, though with broader software product ambitions.
