GeoDIM Consult was registered in Accra, Ghana, in 2024. Experience from researching and working as a geoscientist in the hydrogeology, mining, oil and gas, and geothermal energy sectors highlights challenges in integrating legacy and new subsurface datasets to guide critical decision-making in new projects. With this background and expertise in numerical modeling and computing skills, we set up GeoDIM consult to bridge the gap of optimizing data application at a relatively cost-effective approach, particularly for small to medium earth science-related companies. Our ambition as practioners in the Earth science space is to provide a well-researched and practical solution to complex geological problems.We look forward to doing business with new clients and optimizing the management of subsurface datasets to enable geoscientists and engineers to be more efficient in projects.
Who We Are
GeoDIM Consult seeks to provide data and spatial modeling services in geosciences and civil engineering. Founded by Daniel Otoo, PhD., a researcher and geoscientist with expert understanding on integrating geological datasets and technological advances for subsurface characterisation. Partnering with Kofi Owusu, PhD., a highly experienced software developer, systems and geospatial analyst, GeoDIM Consult will provide world-class results to clients.
Our Mission
Increasing realism in subsurface evaluation for efficient development of natural resources. Promote research to guide the effective use of environmental and geospatial data. Incorporate artificial intelligence in geoscience projects.
Meet Our Team
Daniel Otoo
Daniel has four years of experience in greenfield gold exploration and resource modeling in paleoproterozoic metamorphic rocks. He is a researcher with seven years of experience in projects spanning hydrocarbon and deep geothermal reservoirs of Palaeozoic and Mesozoic origin. He holds a PhD and MSc in petroleum geoscience from the University of Manchester, United Kingdom, and a bachelor's degree in Geological Engineering from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. Daniel's expertise includes the application of artificial intelligence for subsurface evaluation, geospatial analytics and digital outcrop modelling, geostatistical analysis and numerical simulation. Daniel has previously worked at Newmont Gold Corporation as a staff geoscientist in Ghana and as a research fellow at LSCE-CEA in France.
