Opportunity Generation
Regional screening, play analysis, lead identification, prospect generation, and portfolio development.
Independent Geoscience Consulting
Subsurface insight for better exploration decisions.
Caiman Subsurface helps energy companies identify, evaluate, and mature opportunities through integrated geology, geophysics, regional interpretation, and prospect evaluation.
Caiman Subsurface
From regional basin screening to prospect-scale interpretation, Caiman brings exploration experience, technical depth, and commercial perspective to complex subsurface decisions.
Caiman works across the exploration and asset-evaluation lifecycle—integrating seismic, wells, regional geology, petroleum systems, risk, and volumetrics to turn subsurface data into actionable opportunities.
Services
What we do

Integrated interpretation, structural mapping, risking, volumetrics, uncertainty assessment, and maturation of drillable opportunities.
Geology & Geophysics
2D and 3D seismic interpretation, well integration, sequence stratigraphy, depth interpretation, attribute analysis, inversion, and subsurface mapping.
Basin & Play Analysis
Regional geologic synthesis, petroleum-system evaluation, depositional interpretation, structural framework development, and new-ventures screening.
Asset & Transaction Support
Technical evaluation for acquisitions, divestitures, data rooms, acreage decisions, and portfolio reviews.
Technical Advisory
Independent subsurface perspective for operators, investors, technical teams, and organizations needing experienced geoscience support.
Seismic Interpretation
See the basin.
Understand the system.
Find the opportunity.
Regional context and prospect-scale detail belong in the same interpretation.

Structural Mapping
Structure matters.
So does uncertainty.
Interpretation, mapping, and risk framing are central to better subsurface decisions.
Experience
Experience across complex petroleum systems
More than a decade of exploration and subsurface experience spanning deepwater, shelf, unconventional, frontier, and new-ventures settings.
Gulf of Mexico
Deepwater and shelf exploration, subsalt interpretation, near-field opportunity generation, Jurassic and Cenozoic petroleum systems, prospect maturation, and regional portfolio evaluation.
Alaska North Slope
Regional exploration screening, seismic interpretation, lead generation, acreage evaluation, and integration of Nanushuk and Torok depositional systems.
Permian Basin
Unconventional development, seismic integration, well planning support, regional interpretation, geohazard screening, and asset evaluation.
International & Frontier
Regional basin analysis, new-ventures screening, petroleum-system evaluation, and interpretation of underexplored plays and emerging opportunities.
Well & Stratigraphic Integration
Integration turns data into interpretation.
Wells, logs, seismic, structure, and regional geology are most powerful when read together.

About Caiman
Independent thinking.
Integrated geoscience.
Caiman Subsurface Consulting was founded to provide experienced, flexible geoscience support without the layers of a large consultancy.
The company works with operators, investors, and technical teams to evaluate subsurface opportunities from regional basin scale through prospect maturation, combining geology, geophysics, petroleum systems, and commercial context.
Founder & Principal Geoscientist
Reece Lonsert
Reece Lonsert is an exploration geoscientist and geophysicist with approximately 14 years of experience across the Gulf of Mexico, Permian Basin, Alaska North Slope, and international exploration. His work has included regional play evaluation, prospect generation, seismic interpretation, subsalt mapping, new ventures, field development, acquisitions and divestitures, and advanced seismic-imaging projects.
Connect with Reece →Approach
Interpretation is more than mapping.
Good subsurface work connects observations across scale—from basin evolution and petroleum systems to seismic character, structure, reservoir, uncertainty, and ultimately the decision being made.
Caiman approaches projects with that integration in mind.
