A device comprises a processor; and a memory device including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: obtain, from a server, a plate model, wherein the plate model includes a plurality of geodynamic units (GDUs) representing a plurality of different geological regions; receive a user-defined geospatial data of a desired geological region; perform an intersection operation between the user-defined geospatial data and the plurality of GDUs of the plate model, to assign user-defined geospatial data a GDU identifier; obtain, from a server, Euler rotation poles based on a user-specified geological age, each Euler rotation pole being associated with a GDS via the GDU identifier; and reconstruct the user-defined geospatial data to the geological age using the Euler rotation pole and thereby obtain a reconstructed paleogeographic position of the user-defined geospatial data.

Secure reconstruction of geospatial data

A system can output a graphical user interface for use in planning or performing a wellbore operation. The system can receive a location of a geological point location of interest for subterranean exploration and a geological time-frame for the geological point location of interest. The system can determine present-day data about the geological point location of interest from the received location. The system can generate a pseudo-well and reconstruct geological-historical parameters in separate time-intervals based on the received location, plate-tectonic models, and paleo-geographic datasets. The system can generate a graphical user interface including present-day data, paleo-geographic data, plate-tectonic data, and plate-interaction data. The system can output the graphical user interface for use in planning or performing a wellbore operation to extract hydrocarbon fluid.

User interface for generating a pseudo-well to aid in planning or performing wellbore operations

The disclosed embodiments include systems and methods to assess geological data. The method includes obtaining data associated with a geological state of a geological entity. The method also includes assessing a nature of a geological age constraint of the geological entity. The method further includes generating a first probability distribution of a geological age of the geological entity based on the nature of the geological age constraint of the geological entity. The method further includes selecting a time of interest for analysis of the geological entity. The method further includes assessing a nature of the geological age constraint during the time of interest. The method further includes generating a second probability distribution for the time of interest. The method further includes determining a likelihood that the geological age constraint of the geological entity coincides with the time of interest.
