Accessing the Brine-Formation Database

There are three ways to access the Brine-Formation Database, which provides information for 16 parameters in 19 basins. Use the Data Matrix together with the database to get an overview of the contents and interpret the features that you see. Not all parameters in all formations are populated; see Data Matrix for details.
