Hipterra Africa deploys proprietary AI-powered 3D/4D geospatial technology to locate, map, and validate hydrocarbon deposits, achieving over 90% drilling success where conventional methods average 50%.
Hipterra Africa handles the Africa and Middle East Operations for Hipterra, a leading international oil and gas exploration company headquartered in Provo, Utah, with an active Africa office in Lagos, Nigeria. Founded over 25 years ago with a single mission, predict where to drill with better accuracy and lower cost, we have proven that mission across multiple field trials in the US, Canada, and internationally.
Our proprietary multi-dimensional geospatial AI platform enables energy producers to achieve more, faster and more sustainably, dramatically reducing exploration risk while maximising return on investment.
Without disturbing the land, Hipterra's proprietary RMHD+ high-definition sensor system maps large areas of subsurface hydrocarbons and estimates recoverable oil and gas volumes faster and more accurately than any competing solution.
The system has identified over 25 successful oil and gas fields in the US and Canada. It is now being deployed across African territories and Middle East, bringing world-class subsurface intelligence to one of the world's most prolific hydrocarbon regions.

Over 90% drilling success — nearly double the industry average of 50% using conventional seismic methods.
Zero false positives recorded across more than 260 tested dry zones, giving operators full confidence in our data.
Dual-platform AI modeling enhances precision through multi-dimensional data synthesis and deep geological analysis.
Clients save an average of $70M+ per project by reducing unnecessary drilling, downtime, and environmental remediation costs.
For a century, the industry has drilled to find out if hydrocarbons exist, accepting a global wildcat success rate of just 28%, with offset wells averaging only 40 to 80%. Hipterra rewrites the formula: we detect and map the hydrocarbons themselves before a well is ever drilled, then compare that signature against structural data to reject false prospects.
Identify a subsurface structure by geology or geophysics. Drill to find out if hydrocarbons exist within it.
Compare against structural data; reject incongruent prospects, drill only inside the anomaly
Highly detailed maps of subsurface accumulations for site selection and monitoring reservoir movement over time.
Rapid surveys of large frontier areas, outlining recoverable volumes faster than any competing method, without disturbing the land.
Overlay mapping on existing fields to place infill wells precisely, greater production from fewer wells.
Geoscience interpretation, drilling-program advisory and continuing analysis from our geologists and engineers.
We are seeking visionary financiers and strategic partners to fuel our next phase of growth across African and Middle East energy markets.
