What are Tools on EDX?
Tools provide access to data and information assembled as custom themes of high interest. Tools are standard, static, frameworks; however, the data presented within them may update and change with time, thus offering fresh and current information. Tools may accommodate spatial and/or non-spatial data. Some Tools are designed to allow the Tool to communicate with EDX servers to allow for searching, querying, and displaying data.

NETL's Geocube is a flexible, customizable web mapping application that concatenates key spatial datasets and information relevant to energy research needs for a given region. The Geocube connects users to data collections and resources spanning the subsurface to the surface via EDX. Users have the flexibility to view public data collections, as well as develop, save, and export their own maps via Geocube.

SIMPA (Spatially Integrated Multivariate Probabilistic Assessment) is a Python-based fuzzy logic tool designed to help assess the likelihood of fluid and/or gas migration pathways throughout the subsurface. The SIMPA tool helps users develop and apply fuzzy logic to various datasets to construct knowledge-based inferential rules that reduce uncertainty and results in a visual representation depicting the likelihood of potential fluid and/or gas migration pathways. SIMPA results can offers an understanding of the magnitude and extent of natural and anthropogenic subsurface pathways, offering insight to subsurface hazards to improve storage assessments and critical information for improving industry decisions related to the use of various CCS methods and technologies. In addition, SIMPA can offer new insights for areas with little to no data to help inform site selection and production, evaluate potential risks and hazards, and support various decision making and risk management needs.

National Energy Technology Laboratory’s (NETL) GEO Water Energy Link Library, geoWELL, is a map-based application that provides quick access to the primary on-line sources of subsurface geologic and wellbore (oil, gas, and underground injection) information for appropriate U.S. state, tribal and federal agencies.
