Onshore Exploration Targeting Service
High-impact targeting for rapid exploration with minimal cost and risk
Introducing a powerful exploration pathway solution designed to help industries like oil and gas, mining, hydrogen, CCUS, and geothermal, de-risk the exploration cycle with existing geoscience data and subsurface expertise.
Enabling early screening and pinpointing of high-value prospects, we help our customers accelerate exploration, optimise seismic survey design, and cut unnecessary subsurface data acquisition costs – delivering focused, drill-ready insights for informed investment decisions.
Already deployed successfully on multiple projects, the service has demonstrated its value as a powerful end-to-end subsurface targeting solution for optimising exploration investment and maximising project returns.
How we can help you
- Rapid high-grading powered by rich subsurface datasets
Quickly identify and prioritise high-potential exploration areas by accessing Getech’s global knowledge, gravity and magnetic database for efficient regional scouting and target high-grading. - Hightly targeted new seismic surveys to maximise ROI
By understanding where subsurface prospectivity is highest, you can optimise survey location and design parameters to achieve the highest-quality subsurface insights and accelerate the path to discovery. - Smarter exploration to save costs and mitigate risk
Reduce exploration costs by eliminating unnecessary surveying and lowering risk by directing investment toward areas with proven geological potential – maximising your budget and increasing the likelihood of discovery. - Validated intelligence to reduce uncertainty and guide action
We integrate multiple geoscience datasets, including gravity, magnetic, legacy/new seismic, well, and geological data, into a cohesive subsurface model to help you make investment decisions with confidence.
Case Study: Helping a Middle Eastern operator explore smarter and discover more
A recent regional and multiphase project in the Middle East, showcased the full value of this new exploration pathway service. Getech began by analysing gravity and magnetic data to map subsurface density and susceptibility contrasts. These datasets are particularly well-suited for identifying localised geological features such as positive structures, sub-basins, and depocentres.
This analysis provided critical insight into the depth and extent of the petroleum system and helped pinpoint areas with the highest prospectivity. Deliverables included enhanced gravity and magnetic maps, a structural interpretation, reinterpretation of legacy seismic data, detailed lead descriptions, and a comprehensive lead summary map.
Based on these findings, a targeted 3D seismic acquisition campaign was recommended in high-value zones. STRYDE then designed and planned the seismic programme to ensure an efficient acquisition process focused precisely where new data will deliver the greatest impact for decision-making.
United by purpose, driven by impact
“The market has long lacked a streamlined, data-driven service that connects early lead identification to the delivery of direct targets. We are thrilled to collaborate with another industry leader to bring this unique solution to market.
Our partnership with STRYDE combines Getech’s expertise in basin screening and geoscience intelligence with STRYDE’s specialism in nodal seismic acquisition for high-resolution subsurface imaging, creating a powerful service that accelerates the discovery process for energy and mineral companies.
By integrating multiple geophysical datasets with expert interpretation, this new service empowers customers to target smarter, spend less, and discover more.”
Max Brouwers, Chief Business Development Officer, Getech.
“At STRYDE, we collaborate closely with the end-users of the geophysical data that our technology is used to acquire, helping them optimise survey design parameters to achieve the highest-quality subsurface insights.
Through these discussions, we often uncover two key challenges: limited internal expertise in the regional exploration challenges and a lack of insight into where to focus exploration efforts for the most ROI.
Many operators rely on large, sparse surveys when they could achieve better results with targeted, high-density 3D seismic, once leads and targets are more clearly defined through existing data and analysis. Our new service delivers the intelligence needed to enable operators to make more precise, data-driven decisions.”
