Consequently, SRM-MBS serves as a highly precise focusing tool, particularly useful for predrill purposes, to reduce and frequently eliminate dry holes. When either mineral is detected, there is a greater than 95% probability of significant hydrocarbons present beneath. Conversely, a drilling prospect absent the presence of either mineral has a less than 5% probability of hydrocarbons beneath Our Solutions Read More PROJECTS Services and Properties.

Our Guiding Philosophy
“The world will need oil and gas for a long, long time…
We don’t create demand, we meet demand.”

SRM-MBS

Sedimentary Residual Magnetics & Magnetic Bright Spots—our proprietary pre-drill focusing that complements 2-D/3-D seismic to rank prospects and reduce dry holes.

SRM-MBS Featured Talk

Recorded live in New Orleans, Bill Rhea shares the SRM-MBS workflow he helped develop—how Sedimentary Residual Magnetics and Magnetic Bright Spots pair with 2-D/3-D seismic to high-grade prospects, guide well placement, and accelerate time to cash flow in the Lower Tuscaloosa trend. This 19-minute talk connects the science to real field examples from G&GE’s core area.
