Satellite remote sensing terrain imagery of a West African basin

04Exploration

Technology-led exploration, executed with discipline.

From satellite reconnaissance to exploration drilling, every Menxons decision is grounded in integrated technical evidence.

04.1Exploration & Technology

Four pillars of the Menxons exploration programme

01

Satellite & Remote Sensing

Satellite imagery and remote-sensing datasets support regional geological interpretation, surface structural mapping, lineament analysis and early exploration planning — reducing cost and risk before ground operations begin.

02

Geological & Geophysical Studies

Basin analysis, structural interpretation, source-rock and reservoir evaluation, and passive techniques including Ambient Noise Tomography, integrated into a single subsurface model.

03

Seismic Exploration

Seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation to image subsurface structure, define prospects and de-risk drilling locations.

04

Exploration Drilling

The critical stage for testing geological prospects, calibrating the subsurface model and evaluating hydrocarbon potential.
