1st Subsurface is a multidisciplinary consultancy specialising in subsurface oilfield management, exploration and asset strategy.

We have developed unique, borderless and basin-wide subsurface technical databases which compile decades of research and input sourcing data on the full spectrum of assets- from Prospects and Leads, Discoveries, and Fields - producing and decommissioned.

Collating, standardising and structuring data in tabular form is a large part of the Trove story. But that's not all. For each field, discovery or prospect in the database there will generally be information on the history, maps, seismic lines, correlation sections, production data etc. , where available. All at the click of a button in a user-friendly interface. Jump from maps to graphs to field descriptions in an "easy-to-navigate" environment.

A team of over 10 geoscientists and engineers, most with decades of experience working for major operating companies, trawl open-source data sources to compile industry-leading sources of information. The scale of the databases grows and improves daily, not just through our own work, but now users are starting to contribute data too as they see the value to themselves of enriching this unique pool of knowledge.

The knowledge contained in Trove databases is essential for exploration & subsurface managers, commercial managers, senior executives, geoscientists and reservoir engineers at every stage of the E& P life-cycle.
