West Africa Experience

OHM Rock Solid Images is the leader in rock physics and seismic inversion studies for West Africa. Our team has proven experience and results that have reduced exploration risk and uncertainty in this important region as indicated by our clients:

“We are looking forward to working with the team at OHM Rock Solid Images on this important seismic inversion study.  RSI’s knowledge of the rock physics and reservoir properties of these play types in the region, combined with an impressive track record in West Africa was the primary reason for awarding this work.  Our expectation is that this study will significantly de-risk our drilling decisions and, ultimately the appraisal of this block.” Everton September, Vice President, PetroSA

“This work unequivocally demonstrated the impact that rigorous rock physics analysis can make on risk reduction in rank exploration areas such as those that characterize our deepwater West African and Ukrainian exploration portfolios." Ronald L. Wallace, Senior Vice President of Exploration, Vanco Energy Company.

“We have collaborated with the OHM Rock Solid Images team on numerous of our exploration initiatives in West Africa, including Ghana’s Jubilee Field. We have been impressed with their commitment to technical excellence and customer satisfaction and are pleased to select them for this important role.” Kenny Goh, Kosmos Energy Senior Vice President and partner, and Robin Sutherland, Tullow Exploration Manager.

“We are pleased that the recently completed Mahogany-3 well has validated the geological and geophysical models we have worked on with the team at OHM Rock Solid Images. The well was drilled in a location identified by OHM Rock Solid Images initial seismic inversion and we particularly look forward to the reservoir property inversion results at the Mahogany Deep formation level which appears at this point to be a separately trapped reservoir and which we will be further appraising in late 2009.” Kenny Goh, Kosmos Energy Senior Vice President and partner.
