Services

SMK Geoscience provides independent subsurface geoscience consulting focused on early- to mid-stage resource evaluation for energy and mineral projects. Services are tailored for operators, junior companies, ASX-listed companies, Tribes, and partners seeking technically rigorous, defensible interpretations that support exploration and development decisions.

Prospect Generation

  • Integrated geological interpretation to identify and mature exploration targets

  • Prospect generation combining legacy well data, modern geophysics, and artificial intelligence

  • Prospect generation, play screening, and technical due diligence for farm-in and acquisition decisions

MACHINE LEARNING, artificial intelligence and spatial data science (new)

  • Supervised and unsupervised machine learning workflows (e.g., Random Forests, XGBoost, Weights-of-Evidence) to predict resource prospectivity and delineate sweet spots

  • Automated data ingestion, cleaning, and reproducible spatial pipelines for large-scale basin datasets

  • Integration of multi-physics data (2D/3D seismic, potential fields, thermal grids, and remote sensing) into unified predictive models

  • Uncertainty quantification and high-resolution spatial prospectivity mapping

Petrophysics & Legacy Log Interpretation

  • Petrophysical analysis of open-hole and cased-hole wireline logs

  • Reinterpretation of legacy oil & gas logs for uranium, helium, lithium brine, geothermal, and unconventional resources

  • Lithology, porosity, water saturation, and lithology interpretation

  • Identification of anomalous gamma responses and mineral indicators

Subsurface Mapping & Structural Analysis

  • Formation tops, isopach, structure, and attribute mapping

  • Structural interpretation including faults, fractures, and fluid pathways

  • Integration of well data, core, and seismic (where available)

  • Basin-scale and prospect-scale geologic models

  • Use of regional and national well databases to support mapping across onshore U.S. basins

Uranium, Helium & Critical Mineral Projects

  • Tabular and roll-front uranium systems

  • Helium system evaluation including source, migration, reservoir, and seal analysis

  • Lithium brine and subsurface fluid system assessment

  • Resource screening, risk assessment, and exploration strategy development

Grant-Supported & Tribal Resource Projects

  • Technical project design for federal and Tribal grant programs (e.g., BIA EMDP)

  • Geological and petrophysical task execution and reporting

  • Integration with geochemistry, geophysics, and field studies

  • Support for Tribal resource assessment and long-term capacity building

Technical Reporting & Due Diligence

  • Preparation of technical memoranda, maps, and figures

  • Data validation and uncertainty assessment

  • Independent technical review for partners

  • Support for public disclosure and regulatory documentation
