EXPLORATION

Prospecting for new oil reserves is a complex and high-cost endeavour, even when it involves traditional resources. The cost of geological prospecting operations, and the cost of mistakes, are still higher when investigating previously un-researched, inaccessible regions. Much of this uncertainty can be eliminated prior to commencing field work through the process of basin modelling.

Basin modelling means taking a journey millions of years back into the past — recreating the formation of (and changes to) geological strata in order to determine when they first appeared, how they were built up, and how hydrocarbons are distributed within them.

Our Solutions

Using this technology, and based on all information available on a region’s geology, mathematical and analytical methodologies can be used to recreate those processes involved in strata being formed or changed. Which means that areas containing hydrocarbon accumulations can be revealed.
