Welcome To Southwest Exploration

Effective hydro or mineral production solutions require access to relevant, timely and accurate data. If you need to make important decisions based on geophysical data, and require assistance analyzing or identifying information, Southwest Exploration Services LLC is the best choice.

Southwest Exploration Services has the required experience and leading-edge technology that will assist you in arriving at the proper decisions. Owner, Kevin Mitchell, began his geophysical career searching for man-made infiltration tunnels in South Korea. For the past two decades, he and his team has successfully served commercial interests in the Southwestern United States employing the latest technologies in the field.

Recent additions to our inventory include: a modern logging vehicle and MSI (Mt. Sopris) Matrix logging system capable of reaching a depth of 10,000 feet (approximately 3,050 meters) that employs the latest in acoustic televiewer technology as well as the standard instruments used by Southwest Exploration. In addition to this new logging truck in 2005, we completed an additional logging truck in 2006 with depth capabilities of just over 7,000 ft. We are currently awaiting arrival of our latest ALT ABI-43 televiewer tool (in January '07) which will have temperature ratings up to 100 deg C. and pressure rating much higher than the current tools available. We have acquired the latest in Acoustic Sonic tools with 2 and 3 and 4 receiver arrays. We have completed our 1st year in Gyro tool data acquisition and processing with the latest tools and acquisition available in the industry from Welbore Navagation. If things weren’t exciting enough this year, we are adding an additional multipurpose truck which will run high quality video and the latest in geophysical logging equipment and operating systems from Mt. Sopris and CCV. The depth capabilities are predicted to be around 5000 ft. These vehicles and the new tools will allow us to serve your geophysical needs with more efficiency, capacity and accuracy.
