Exploration

To track down new deposits of oil and gas, our geologists work like detectives to establish the properties of rock types and to characterise the conditions under which they are created. The various processes and investigations on site and in the laboratory ensure that the picture of the subsurface which is obtained is as precise as possible.

Geological research

Even before we start drilling our specialists develop a precise picture of the subsurface.

Seismics

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

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.

Gravimetry, magnetics and electromagnetics

Geophysical processes provide important information for our understanding of the subsurface.

Geochemical analyses

Bacteria and the organic carbon content help us to find gas and oil molecules.

Basin analyses

Our specialists analyse the rock strata to find oil and gas deposits.

Data models

Our experts produce a model of the subsurface from the results of the investigations.
