Exploration Consulting
Services
Our Exploration experience is unparalleled, representing many years of carrying out exploration across the globe in different basins, geological settings & environments with a unique blend of technical expertise to help, characterize and assess both conventional and unconventional exploration opportunities.
​
​
The HCS Team has carried out on projects in the Middle East/N. & W. Africa, Iran, S. America, China, East Europe, Canada and the USA and have discovered over 3 Bbbls oil, 1 TCF of gas and added reserves of 11 Bbbls of oil.Discoveries have been in both carbonate and clastic reservoirs in structurally complex settings, stratigraphic, fractured reservoirs and hydrodynamic traps.
The HCS Team is extremely proficient with all types of software and databases and can present prospect packages in both paper and digital (paperless) form.
The HCS Team has at it’s disposal a vastly experienced multi-disciplinary team, including petroleum geologists, structural geologists, stratigraphers, sedimentologists, geochemists, seismic interpreters, and petrophysicists. Our team is also complemented by economists, reserve specialists, drilling experts, logistics experts and lawyers.
