MARIMBA (Margins of the Atlantic Region Integrated Multidisciplinary Basin Analysis) - Brazil

DIGs and Geochemical Solutions International (GSI) co-developed MARIMBA-Brazil, starting from a presentation at an AAPG Hedberg Research conference in 2001. Their products integrate the disciplines of geology, geochemistry and geophysics using GIS tools and through paleo-reconstructions, adding the fifth dimension of geo-time, hence their G5 reference.

For an early illustration of data sets and methods, refer to our prediction of a Santos Basin pre-salt oil play "A Busted Flush in the Santos Basin (Brazil) Becomes a Winning Hand—Hydrocarbon Generation and Multi-Path Migration on Shallow and Deepwater Flanks of the Basin" from the 2005 Calgary AAPG Conference: http://aapg.confex.com/aapg/cal2005/techprogram/A97190.htm
