Basin and Exploration Studies

Exploration geophysics is a vital tool in the search for subsurface resources, combining geophysical techniques with geological interpretation to reveal the structure and composition of the Earth’s crust. Using methods such as seismic, gravitational, magnetic, electrical, and electromagnetic surveys, we can detect anomalies that indicate the presence of valuable geological formations.
At Floodhound, we specialize in comprehensive basin analysis and advanced exploration studies. Our expertise includes:

  • Seismic interpretation (e.g., seismic stratigraphy, trap and reservoir detection, seal integrity)
  • Well log geophysics for subsurface property evaluation
  • Remote sensing and satellite data integration
  • Reservoir potential mapping and play-based exploration frameworks
    Our approach helps clients assess resource potential, reduce exploration risk, and build reliable geological models that guide investment and development.
  • Seafloor Geohazards and Geotechnical Studies

    Advances in full-coverage geophysical seafloor mapping over the past two decades have significantly enhanced our understanding of marine geohazards. These hazards — including submarine landslides, gas seeps, faulting, and sediment instability — pose potential risks to offshore infrastructure and coastal populations.
    At Floodhound, we conduct detailed geohazard assessments that support safe offshore development. Seafloor mapping serves as the foundation of this work, providing the only comprehensive method for identifying and classifying geohazard-prone areas across broad offshore regions.
    Our services include:

  • Interpretation of multibeam bathymetry and sub-bottom profiling
  • Identification of geohazard features such as pockmarks, scarps, and slope failure zones
  • Integration with geotechnical data and sediment sampling
  • Risk-informed recommendations for offshore infrastructure placement
    These assessments are essential for responsible planning in offshore energy, cables and pipelines, and coastal development projects.

  • Marine technologies

    At Floodhound, we work closely with leading research institutions to apply advanced marine technologies in the study of the seafloor and offshore infrastructure. These tools allow for high-resolution data acquisition in environments that are otherwise difficult to access.
    Our operations routinely incorporate:

  • Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) for autonomous mapping and data collection
  • Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) for targeted visual inspection and precision sampling
  • Seafloor sampling of gas seeps, sediments, and biological material for laboratory analysis
    This integrated approach provides high-quality datasets that support geohazard assessments, environmental monitoring, infrastructure planning, and scientific discovery beneath the waves.
