At H-Expertise Services Geosciences (H-ES), we specialise in delivering top-tier geoscience analytical services tailored to the needs of the energy sectors. Our comprehensive suite of services, combined with our commitment to innovation and excellence, ensures that we provide our clients with precise, actionable insights that drive success.
Our core analysis services are designed to enhance subsurface reservoir characterisation and provide valuable insights for geoscience system analyses. By studying core samples, we offer detailed assessments of reservoir geological history and various properties, such as porosity, permeability, and the PVTX evolution of geofluids (Pressure, Volume, Temperature, and Composition). These analyses are critical for understanding the depositional environment, diagenetic history, and fluid flow characteristics of the reservoir.

Our analytical services
Fluid inclusions analyses
Unlock the secrets of your reservoir with our fluid inclusions analyses. By studying fluid pockets trapped within minerals, we provide detailed insights into the history of fluid flow and thermal evolution, essential for optimising reservoir management.
Carbonate in-situ U-Pb dating
Ensure precise dating of carbonate minerals with our state-of-the-art Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) services. Ideal for determining the timing of diagenetic events, hydrocarbon migration, and geological histories, our U-Pb dating is a cornerstone for reservoir characterisation.
Clumped isotope Geochemistry
Gain accurate historical temperature reconstructions with our clumped isotope geochemistry services. This advanced technique analyzes the abundance of isotopically “clumped” molecules in carbonates, offering critical data for understanding diagenetic processes.
C/O Isotope Analyses on Carbonate
Benefit from our precise carbon and oxygen isotope analyses on carbonate. These analyses provide critical insights into paleoenvironmental conditions and diagenetic histories, essential for a complete understanding of your carbonate systems.
Petrographic and elemental mapping
Gain precise petrographic and geochemical insights with our advanced imaging and elemental analysis services. We utilize high-resolution thinsection imaging, cathodoluminescence, and LAICPMS to map major and trace elements, supporting comprehensive sample characterization
Zircon U-Pb dating – sediment sourcing
Obtain precise geological timelines with our zircon U-Pb dating services. Using LA-ICPMS, we determine sandstone provenance, sediment transport pathways, and igneous rock crystallization ages, providing critical insights into sedimentary processes and geological history reconstruction.
