About Hipterra

25 Years of Subsurface Innovation

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.

  • Zero false positives across 260+ tested dry zones
  • Non-invasive subsurface mapping, no land disturbance required
  • Proprietary RMHD+ high-definition sensor system
  • AI-powered dual-platform modeling for multi-dimensional data synthesis
Our Technology

Map More, Drill Less

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.

Why Hipterra

The Competitive Advantage

Our technology-driven approach delivers measurable performance advantages across every stage of oil and gas exploration.

Exceptional Accuracy

Exceptional Accuracy

Over 90% drilling success — nearly double the industry average of 50% using conventional seismic methods.

Verified Reliability

Verified Reliability

Zero false positives recorded across more than 260 tested dry zones, giving operators full confidence in our data.

Proprietary Intelligence

Proprietary Intelligence

Dual-platform AI modeling enhances precision through multi-dimensional data synthesis and deep geological analysis.

Cost Efficiency

Cost Efficiency

Clients save an average of $70M+ per project by reducing unnecessary drilling, downtime, and environmental remediation costs.

One number changes every exploration conversation.

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.

The Hipterra Formula

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

What We Do

From frontier acreage to producing fields.

01

3D & 4D Geospatial Mapping

Highly detailed maps of subsurface accumulations for site selection and monitoring reservoir movement over time.

02

New-Field Exploration

Rapid surveys of large frontier areas, outlining recoverable volumes faster than any competing method, without disturbing the land.

03

Reservoir Development

Overlay mapping on existing fields to place infill wells precisely, greater production from fewer wells.

04

Consulting & Support

Geoscience interpretation, drilling-program advisory and continuing analysis from our geologists and engineers.
