Hatteras Geoconsulting
Hatteras Geoconsulting helps operators and clients evaluate subsurface opportunities, test interpretations, and understand the uncertainties that matter to exploration and development decisions.
We connect regional geological context with detailed technical analysis, bringing experienced judgment to the evidence available and the questions that remain.
Discuss your projectExamine the geological case for an opportunity, including reservoir, charge, seal, and trap. Identify the assumptions that influence the interpretation and the additional evidence needed to assess its potential.
Place individual opportunities within the history and structure of the basin. Evaluate how basin development influences depositional systems, petroleum systems, and the relevance of regional analogues.
Assess how source, maturation, migration, reservoir, seal, and trap timing work together. Focus attention on the relationships and uncertainties that could determine whether a prospect is charged and preserved.
Integrate available core, well-log, seismic, and geological information to assess reservoir quality, distribution, and potential connectivity. Clarify how differences within the reservoir may affect exploration and development choices.
Evaluate how rock units and geological surfaces relate across space and time. Test correlations and depositional interpretations to better understand reservoir presence, continuity, and compartmentalization.
A regional interpretation provides context for an individual prospect. A core observation or well correlation can challenge that interpretation.
Hatteras considers these scales together, comparing seismic interpretation, well logs, core observations, and regional mapping where available. The aim is to understand where the evidence agrees, where alternative explanations remain, and which uncertainties could change the decision.
That means separating observations from assumptions and identifying the additional work that would be most useful before committing further resources.
Geoconsulting products
Explore the geological context behind a basin, a block, or an individual prospect. Contact Hatteras to discuss the models and regional studies relevant to your project.
Understand how a basin took shape and what that history means for exploration. Regional tectonic reconstructions connect plate movements, rifting, and basin development, providing context for interpreting the subsurface and testing geological assumptions. Coverage includes the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, Andes, and Equatorial Atlantic margins.
Build regional understanding before moving into detailed block or prospect evaluation. Exploration atlases and reports bring together fieldwork, laboratory research, and geological interpretation to explain basin history and petroleum systems. Regional coverage includes Colombia, Venezuela, the Central Andes, Mexico, and the Gulf of Mexico. Contact Hatteras to discuss the material most relevant to your area of interest.
