Subject. This article discusses the international and BRICS+ countries platform-based digital tools for integrating geological data.
Objectives. The study aims to characterize the available modern platform solutions, and propose the structure of the BRICS+ geological platform.
Methods. For the study, we used methods of description, system analysis and comparative characteristics.
Results. The article reveals that the BRICS+ geological platform is a special platform for interaction between countries with different jurisdictional and infrastructural solutions. It also shows that this topic requires further study to attract investment and increase national wealth.
Conclusions. Further interdisciplinary analysis of the various contours of the of the BRICS+ geological platform development is necessary.

Keywords: geological platform, BRICS+, subsoil use, energy
