Oil & Gas Industry

Up one level

MDA's services for the oil and gas industry range from specific assessment tasks to integrated regional studies and include: fracture analysis, hydrocarbon indications, geologic interpretation and mapping, and special methods for hard-to-assess areas.

Geologic Interpretation
Structural and lithologic mapping forms the heart of MDA's geologic practice, and have completed hundreds of geologic interpretations. This broad-based experience enables us to understand the tectonic framework of any area in the world, both onshore and offshore.
Hydrocarbon Indications
Seeps are direct evidence of hydrocarbon occurrences, and are associated with many major discoveries. Seeps provide significant targets for more intensive exploration efforts.
Fracture Analysis
MDA's approach is useful for identifying new exploration targets, extending producing trends, choosing optimal location for development wells, and selecting the orientation of horizontal well bores.
Special Methods
MDA's remote sensing tools can be used to evaluate remote or difficult access areas. MDA's QRVV methodology is particularly effective with radar satellite imagery.
Integrated Studies
MDA synthesizes the tectonic, dispositional and structural history, integrate a wide array of geologic, geophysical and geochemical data and provide a context for petroleum exploration.
