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
Overview
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.
Smackover Play
This 3D basin model report for the Smackover Play in Arkansas and Texas provides a static model of the estimated lithium resources in place.
Coming soon
We are expanding our basin model reports, so check back soon for more 3D reports of lithium in place.
Applications

- Jump-start identification of acreage positions
- High-grade prospects with lithium sweet-spot mapping
- More accurately assess the value of acreage
- Plan initial field development
- Estimate project development and operational costs
- Leverage models for due diligence in resource assessments
Benefits
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.
Our 3D basin models provide a continuous lithium resource estimate that accelerates lithium development and production.
