Case Study: Leading Oil and Gas Company improves basement analysis for exploration with Seequent

New Approach to Basement Studies for Oil and Gas Explorers

Leading Oil and Gas Company needed a better way to understand basement geology and the faults and fractures that can influence sedimentary basin behavior, reservoir distribution, and drilling decisions. Seequent supported this challenge by helping explorers integrate gravity and magnetic data with seismic interpretation, using tools and workflows suited to basement studies and basin-scale analysis.

Seequent’s solution enabled the customer to more confidently identify basement lineaments, assess structural control on reservoirs, and make better-informed exploration and fracking decisions. By leveraging publicly available gravity and magnetic data alongside Seequent’s geophysical software and interpretation approach, the company could improve prospect ranking, reduce the need for costly tight surveys, and potentially save significant capital by focusing follow-up work where basement anomalies and faults mattered most.
