"50 Years Of Continuous Petrophysical Experience, At Your Service"

 

WHERE WE HAVE WORKED
We work anywhere you work. Conventional or unconventional oil and gas, tar sands, shale gas, igneous, metamorphic, clastic, carbonate, mixed lithology, sedimentary minerals, open hole, through casing, or LWD - we have petrophysical experience that counts.

Worldwide experience in Canada, USA, Mexico, Trinidad, Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, North Sea, France, Spain, Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Abu Dhabi, Angola, Thailand, Viet Nam, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Australia, China, Mongolia, Japan, Russia, Albania, Romania, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan.
