Exploration, drilling, production, storage

Crude oil and natural gas are stored in the pores of deep-lying geological stratums. To track down reservoirs, our geologists investigate the rock like detectives. Various processes are employed for this. When producing the oil and gas we also rely on modern technology to bring the raw materials to the surface as safely as possible.

Exploration

Extreme challenges underground require reliable technology and lots of know-how.

Learn more

Drilling

We reach great depths and horizontally distant targets with modern drilling technology.

Learn more

Production

Oil and gas deposits are often found in the pores of rock formations at great depths and pressure.

Learn more

Hydraulic fracturing

Artificially created cracks in the reservoir give rise to the flow of the drilling.

Learn more

Extended Reach Drilling

Extremely long wells cover long and horizontal distances in the underground to reach the oil and gas reserves.

Core analysis

From borehole rock samples our experts deduce the characteristics of the. The geologists make use of all five senses for an initial macroscopic snapshot of the core.

Seismics

Using sound waves our experts investigate the structure of the subsurface.

Storage

For cold winter days: Gas can be stored to optimum effect in underground cavities.
