What Strata Delivers
Sufficient subsurface characterisation to support exploration and drilling ahead of major capital commitments.
Primary Use Cases
• Exploration screening (including frontier, offshore & data-poor acreage)
• A&D evaluation
• Seismic prioritisation
• Direct-to-drill scenarios (select cases)
Strata provides early, direct subsurface screening to define where hydrocarbons exist, how they extend, and how they trend before analogs, seismic, or wells are available. Unlike inference-based, analog-driven, or model-dependent approaches, Strata enables direct detection in areas traditional workflows cannot confidently assess early in the cycle — including frontier acreage, deepwater, and regions with no prior wells, seismic, or interpretable analogs.
Presence Screening
Detect subsurface hydrocarbons directly—without seismic, wells, or analog models.
Areal Extent & Boundaries
Define field footprint and lateral continuity at early-stage screening resolution.
Depth Envelopes
Resolve depth ranges of prospective intervals to prioritize seismic and early evaluation.
Exclusion Zones
Highlight low-potential zones early to reduce unnecessary seismic and drilling expenditure.
Drilling-Verified Results Across Diverse Basins & Play Types
All results shown reflect completed deployments validated against drilling outcomes and operator-held subsurface data.
20+ drilling verified outcomes
Alignment with drilling results across conventional, shale, and frontier basins — validated against presence, extent, depth ranges, and field boundaries.
Multiple basins & play types
Validated across both mature basins and basins with no prior seismic, analogs, or well control, supporting early exploration, seismic prioritization, and A&D assessments.
10+ geological settings
Applied across diverse depositional, structural, and stratigraphic contexts including conventional, shale, and frontier plays.
Repeatedly validated via blind testing
Validated against known-but-non-public subsurface prospects for operator evaluation, technical due diligence, and performance benchmarking.
Deployment-free scanning
Remote evaluation with no field crews, permits, or operational disruption — enabling direct detection in offshore, frontier, and inaccessible acreage.
Capital Efficiency in Exploration & A&D
Early subsurface clarity reduces unnecessary seismic and drilling expenditure while accelerating portfolio decisions.
1
High-Grade Before Seismic
Reduce unnecessary seismic over low-potential acreage and focus budgets on the most prospective corridors.
Reduce Drilling Attrition
Identify exclusion zones and clarify structural trends early to avoid drilling dry or marginal wells.

3
Compress Evaluation Timelines
Remote screening accelerates prospect triage, seismic planning, and A&D workflows.
4
Improve Capital Allocation
Deploy capital where subsurface potential is highest to increase portfolio efficiency and bid confidence.
Why Strata
1. Unlock Frontier & Data-Absent Acreage
Evaluate offshore and frontier blocks where no seismic, wells, or analog models exist — enabling participation in basins that conventional workflows cannot assess.
2. Direct Hydrocarbon Detection (Presence-First)
Detect subsurface hydrocarbons directly rather than inferring from seismic, logs, gravity, or analogs — improving geological certainty early in the cycle.
3. Reduce Seismic & Drilling Attrition
Define exclusion zones and low-probability corridors early to avoid unnecessary seismic, marginal wells, and dry hole exposure.
4. Improve Capital Allocation & Bid Confidence
Prioritize the highest-potential corridors to optimize seismic budgets, increase bid competitiveness, and support faster triage across portfolios.
5. Remote & Deployment-Free Workflow
No field crews, sensors, permitting, or regulatory friction — suitable for offshore, deepwater, frontier, and conflict-affected regions.
6. Rapid Evaluation Cycle (1–2 Weeks)
Fast screening supports exploration, seismic planning, and A&D workflows without interrupting ongoing operations.
A Low-Risk Path from Validation to Portfolio Deployment
A low-friction adoption path aligned with exploration, seismic, and A&D decision cycles.
Step 1 – No-Cost Blind Validation (Optional)
At no cost, operators may nominate a defined area with known subsurface outcomes to independently test and benchmark Strata’s technology. Strata receives location only and conducts a fully blind evaluation to demonstrate Strata’s ability to independently detect hydrocarbon presence and delineate field-scale areal extent, structural continuity, and depth envelopes — without access to seismic, wells, logs, or analog models.
Outcomes:
• technical validation of Strata’s detection capability
Designed for technical validation only — no payment, no data transfer, no obligation.
Step 2 – Commercial Pilot Evaluation
Apply Strata to active acreage for exploration screening, seismic prioritization, or A&D evaluation.
Deliverables:
- presence
- exclusion zones
- geometry / depth envelopes
Structure: low-risk, fee-based evaluation with ~1–2 week turnaround
Step 3 – Scaled Portfolio Deployment
Scale screening across basins, bid rounds, and corporate portfolios to accelerate prospect triage, reduce seismic and drilling attrition, and improve capital allocation.
Advantages:
- fast turn around
- remote workflow
- scalable integration
✔ No permitting | ✔ No field ops | ✔ Confidential
