Basin Expertise
Geologic knowledge of a basin is crucial for economic success.
Overview
Geologic knowledge of a basin is crucial for economic success. Petroleum systems consist of the source rock, reservoir, and seal. Oftentimes multiple petroleum systems exist within a basin, and intimate knowledge of these components can maximize the opportunities that each system provides. Within a select study area, potential targets must be clearly identified and delineated. It’s also just as important to recognize areas in which a play concept will not work in order to avoid a costly mistake.
Moosetooth understands the geologic drivers of petroleum production within the Rocky Mountain region and the Permian Basin. Our knowledge base provides a strong foundation for any geoscience assessment within these petroleum provinces.
