Exploration

Exploration, production, and new business opportunities.

We assist exploration teams with capacity and technical expertise and enable clients to move fast within asset evaluations, assist in Drill or Drop-decisions and other license work. In every project, we make sure that all new learnings are transferred and integrated with the client teams.

From biostratigraphic well evaluation to entire regional projects. From expert advice from our petroleum system analyst to studies where geopressure interpretations have been integrated with structural geology – and much more. We take pride in meeting the needs of our clients!
