GSI on U3 Explore

Geochemical Solutions International (GSI) was established in 1998 to provide the oil and gas industry geochemical technology for use in the exploration, production, refining, transportation and marketing of natural hydrocarbon resources. Geochemical Solutions' objective is to offer focused, cost-effective, technical solutions that address our client's needs, while setting the standard for quality, customer service and business ethics.

In addition to providing routine technical service in association with high-quality laboratories such as Baseline-DGSI, Geochemical Solutions has conducted more than 40 non-exclusive multi-client and/or exclusive proprietary projects for assessment of both offshore and onshore areas in Brazil, Argentina, Trinidad, Cuba and elsewhere in Latin America. These projects, which have been widely subscribed by the energy industry, were designed to evaluate hydrocarbon charge and source characteristics in order to identify petroleum systems and associated risk at the Regional, Basin, Field and Prospect scale. These projects utilized a variety of different approaches including Surface Geochemistry, Remote Sensing, Basin Modeling, Crude Oil, Source Rock and Integrated Studies.

During the past nine years Geochemical Solutions and our associated companies such as TDI Brooks International,Baseline Resolution Geochemical Laboratories and Infologic have provided our clients with the unparalleled expertise of world-renowned experts, state-of-art analytical capabilities, automated data transfer, and improved technology for application of geochemical principles. During this period Geochemical Solutions has:

Collected and analyzed 2000+ piston cores to detect seabed hydrocarbon seeps;
Analyzed satellite imagery to identify oil slicks related to seeps;
Collected and analyzed 2800+ soil gas samples to detect subsurface hydrocarbon accumulations;
Collected Seabed heat flow measurements to characterize subsurface thermal regimes;
