Multi-Client Basin Analysis Report
Mexico, US and Surrounds
A comprehensive evaluation of the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding regions
The comprehensive Mexico, US & Surrounds Multi-Client Basin Analysis Report spreads across a vast circumference of the Gulf of Mexico and neighbouring regions, offering a substantial enhancement in data quality, uncovering exciting new oil discovery possibilities within the offshore exploration region. Advanced seismic imaging techniques essential for producing precise images of the subsurface, rich in salt pillows and diapirs, have substantially improved with the introduction of a multidisciplinary approach.
Former studies were limited to interpreting published and unpublished data, whereas current studies, conducted by our expert team, have implemented a cohesive approach involving geology, geophysics (seismic, magnetics, and gravity), and geochemistry. This multidisciplinary approach addresses the complex depositional history of the Gulf of Mexico and enables high-resolution imaging of the petroleum systems throughout the region. Despite its maturity, the Gulf of Mexico’s success story continues through the ongoing exploration of its intricate geological nature and the pursuit for undiscovered play types.

Featured Projects
Orange Basin - Namibia - Phase 2 - Kudu
Searcher has successfully completed Phase 2 of the Namibian Orange Basin Multi-Client 3D Seismic Survey campaign. This significant milestone builds upon the achievements of Phase 1 and continues our collaboration with Shearwater and NAMOR to explore the full potential of the Orange Basin…
Orange Basin - South Africa - Phase 5 - Navel
The Orange Basin extends across the coasts of both Namibia and South Africa, capturing significant interest due to its high exploration potential. Building on the successful completion of the first four phases in Namibian waters, Phase 5 marks our inaugural venture into the South African Orange Basin…
Pelotas Basin - Brazil
The Pelotas Basin, located offshore Brazil, is one of the world’s last unexplored clastic Cretaceous sedimentary sections, sharing similar sequences and prospectivity with the proven conjugate Orange Basin. This unexplored basin features classic play elements such as coarse-grained quartz-rich clastic reservoirs, various structural traps, and two prolific…
