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 have successfully served commercial interests in the Southwestern United States employing the latest technologies in the field.

Recent additions to our inventory include: 5 modern logging vehicles capable of reaching a depths of 5,000 to 10,000 feet (approximately 3,050 meters) that employs the latest in acoustic televiewer technology as well as all the standard instruments used by Southwest Exploration. The new ABI-43 high temperature Acoustic Televiewer from ALT (www.alt.lu) was a huge addition to our tool shed and with a second purchase at the end of 2011 we will certianly be collection data faster and more effeciently.  Its higher temperature ratings, much faster processers and better acoustic head puts it far out beyond the past models produced by ALT and others. In addition to the new loggings truck we have acquired the latest in Acoustic Sonic tools (3 and 4 Receiver units) and new Gyro technology. Pressure and temperature ratings are higher than any previous tools. These vehicles along with the new tools will allow us to serve your geophysical needs with more efficiency, capacity and accuracy.
