Welcome To PRAXXIS LTD

Petroleum Exploration Consultancy

PRAXXIS LTD is a petroleum geology consultancy dedicated to the exploration of both conventional and unconventional petroleum. The Director of PRAXXIS, Dr Fivos Spathopoulos is an exploration geologist with 25 years of experience in the field of International petroleum research.

Since 2007, PRAXXIS LTD specialises in the research of shale-gas and shale-oil projects. Through intensive research in several European countries, Dr Spathopoulos has built a large experience in defining and evaluating shale formations as shale-gas/shale-oil targets.

PRAXXIS LTD is in a long-term collaboration with the Organic Geochemistry section at Imperial College London, where high-technology analysis of shale samples takes place.

 


Consultancy Services

PRAXXIS LTD is the ideal consultancy firm for all kinds of “unconventional” (or “non-traditional”) petroleum exploration. It can plan and carry out any projects related to shale-gas /shale-oil targets, starting from geochemical analysis of samples, structural geology of basins, maturity modelling and permit application.

PRAXXIS LTD collaborates also with “Global Dialogue”, a consultancy dedicated in helping companies with the social and political implications of petroleum & energy exploration and production. This collaboration helps companies to address a major factor in any exploration/production license: the “public acceptance” issue.

Dr F. Spathopoulos is employed as a Visiting Lecturer in Petroleum Geology at Imperial College London, where he teaches post-graduate students and as a Visiting Professor at the PetroVietnam University, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. He is also a member of the United Nations Committee for the UNFC classification scheme.
