Our Technologies

The early days of oil and gas exploration, where sheer good fortune ruled more than anything else, are long gone. As the industry has matured, so have the technologies. By continually leveraging advances like the ones listed below, MPG creates projects with a higher degree of certainty and long-term value.

3-D Seismic Technology

Like the difference between binoculars and a telescope, advances in seismic technology now allow geologist to look deep into the ground – pinpointing areas best suited for oil and gas development with success ratios that approach nearly 80% or higher.

Reservoir Engineering

A reservoir rock is the rock that contains oil and gas – thus reservoir engineering is the science of studying the economic and developmental viability of a particular formation. Our experts use innovative techniques along with vast databases of comparative geologic, petrophysical, and engineering information to produce detailed forecasts with a best-of-breed 97% accuracy rate.

Surface Geochemical Surveys

Chemical analysis of surface-level microseepage patterns is a low-cost, low-risk way to complement other seismic and geologic technologies in predicting which plays will be productive. In this technique, pronounced areas of microbial anomalies are used to indicate the presence of oil or gas.

Note: All drilling projects entail a certain degree of risk. However, our diversified strategy is designed to focus on the types of projects that are generally considered to have a conservative risk profile. For more information on our risk assessment process, click here.
