Using Surface Geochemical Methods for Petroleum Exploration
How we can Help
Increase Drilling Confidence
Using state-of-the-art technology and expert analysis, better Identify oil and gas traps
Reservoir Characterization
Surface geochemical tests provide a clear way to characterize and identify the types of minerals occuring in reservoir rock and fluid.
Expand Exploration Budget
Prevent wasteful spending, by more accurately identifying priority areas where costly seismic should be shot.
Scale Management
Rapid detection of reservoir scale minerals allows operators to quickly deploy preventative and/or remedial action.
The use of Surface geochemistry for petroleum exploration was first applied by the russians in 1930s looking for cheap, effective ways to target oil traps. following the oil price collapse in 1986, i Saw the practical sense these methods made in the uS.
atoka WAS founded on the principle that an operator does not need to spend an exorbitant amount of money to significantly decrease dryhole risk. I focused on creating a company environment of quality and collaboration that persist today. Unlike our competitors, we forge meaningful partnerships with operators, and work with them to identify how ATOKA's services can best support their exploration effort. as a Scientist and E&P operator myself, I stand behind these methods and refuse to drill where surface geochem anomalies are not present.
ATOKA offers a wide range of inexpensive, yet definitive surface geochemical services to help operators characterize, define and understand potential conventional targets at depth using iodine, soil gas, Eh, pH, conductivity, magnetic susceptibility and trace elements. LEARN MORE >>
Atoka specializes in unconventional Natural Gas resources, such as Coal Bed Methane, Fractured Shale, and Tight Gas sands. Our services extend from Desorption and Adsorption, Mudlogging, and Rock Properties Determination, Exploration to Exploitation Planning, Interpretation to Production Optimization and Operations.

Atoka offers AEROMAGNETIC and GEOCHEMICAL survey results in areas previously sampled. Many of these are in prolific producing basins and others are in basins that have yet to have much production or seen any drilling. CHECK AVAILABILITY >>
Vertical migration is the mechanism that is used to explain hydrocarbon seepage to the surface. It is the process that causes the surface geochemical manifestation by which we can detect …
A FIELD SAMPLE IS ONLY AS RELIABLE AS THE COLLECTION METHODS USED. For Operators that would prefer to collect field soil samples themselves and ship to our labs, ATOKA recommends …
Let ATOKA add value to your Oil & Gas exploration program. Our services and expertise will help develop more informed reservoir stimulation and lifecycle management plans, by more accurately defining drilling targets and reservoir characterization.
We look forward to building a successful relationship with you!
