Geosciences

Apache is active across a wide range of reservoirs, basins and hydrocarbon play types.  Apache’s geosciences teams analyze, define, and model all petroleum systems components from core, log, seismic, and basin through an integrative and interdisciplinary approach that includes applied sedimentology, sequence and seismic stratigraphy, fracture analysis to structural styles interpretation and modeling, geochemical surveying, oil/gas sample analyses and typing, as well as multi-dimensional source rock maturity and fluid migration modeling from local prospect to regional basin scale.

Apache’s geoscientists are involved with unconventional shale gas in Canada; fluvial to shallow-marine clastics in Alaska, Argentina, and Egypt’s western desert; and shelf carbonates in the southern U.S. and deepwater, sub-salt turbidite plays in the Gulf of Mexico.
