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
