Product Sheet Smackover Play
Smackover Play 3D basin model of lithium resources in place for exploration, extraction, and production.
Lithium brine basin reports
Screen for lithium-rich brine resources by leveraging prebuilt basin models
Our 3D basin models provide a continuous lithium resource estimate that accelerates lithium development and production.
Demand for lithium
The demand for critical minerals has steadily increased as the globe transitions to cleaner energy sources. One of these critical minerals is lithium. To meet the growing demand for lithium through 2050, there is a need to both identify and develop new reserves and optimize production from existing sources.
Efficient identification of lithium-rich brine resources
New direct lithium extraction technologies and workflows make the production of lithium from brine possible in a fraction of the time of conventional techniques. And our 3D basin models built using available data—well logs, wireline porosity logs, temperature, geochemistry (including lithium concentration measurements), and historic basin evolution—provide static models of the estimated lithium resources in place to accelerate the exploration, extraction, and production of lithium.
The 3D basin model report for the Smackover Play in Arkansas and Texas provides a static model of the estimated lithium resources in place. We are expanding our basin model reports, so check back soon for more 3D reports of lithium in place.

Trusted insights based on almost a century of subsurface experience
Subsurface know-how
We understand what’s underground. And we’ve applied our decades of knowledge to assess lithium-in-place potential.
Our approach
Our 3D basin models are supported by our industry-leading digital technologies for modeling and simulation, as well as proprietary workflows led by our subsurface experts.
Hundreds of datasets
We have worldwide experience extracting maximum value from subsurface data—geophysical and geological data, well logs, geochemistry, wireline, and everything in between.
