CELEBRATING OUR 30TH YEAR
We have a long history of continuous growth and ongoing success in the marketplace, earning us the distinction of the petroleum industry’s preeminent rock & fluids laboratory. We achieved this reputation by providing petroleum fluid analyses and offering a full range of source rock, oil, and gas services backed by a breadth of scientific expertise and data-driven knowledge that that spans multiple disciplines and regions around the globe.
GeoMark Research LLC (GeoMark) was founded thirty years ago with the goal of performing regional oil studies in frontier basins.
GeoMark performed over 60 individual studies and analyzed over 6,000 oils.
The oil analyses that came from the various studies were used to launch a geochemical database, called OILS (Oil Information Library System).
OILS was rebranded to RFDbase (Rock & Fluid Database), as additional modules were added for Oil, Gas, Source Rock, and PVT analyses.
Tight-rock analyses (TruSat) and petrophysical analyses (XRD, XRF, FTIR) were added to our regional studies and database modules.
GeoMark now has three laboratories that offer clients worldwide a unique combination of geochemical services, studies, and databases.
GeoMark’s success came from hard work, dedication, and laser focus over the years to not only deliver on client requests, but to exceed their expectations. From Day 1, our approach has been to collect a very large suite of produced and seep oil samples that give our researchers and customers a complete look at all the petroleum systems generating hydrocarbon in the basin of interest. We then analyze these oil samples, using a standardized set of detailed oil analysis techniques (biomarkers and stable isotopes). The data are subjected to Principal Component and Hieratical Custer Analysis to determine the number of petroleum systems in a region, and the age and depositional environment of the generating systems. This information is combined with the regional geology to build a petroleum system model of the basin. Ultimately, the resulting reports are licensed to participating companies. Since GeoMark retains ownership of both the analytical results and the physical samples, we have been able to build the largest collection of petroleum reservoir fluid and source rock data from reservoirs around the world.
GeoMark continues to grow, with a desire to listen, learn, and deliver what the industry needs, today and tomorrow. We remain committed to high-quality, best practices in our laboratories, with the adoption of emerging technologies and an eye on future trends that will keep improving our offerings.
