About Us
Our Mission
UNMATCHED INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN ENERGY EXPLORATION
At PetroLocate, we’re committed to helping clients uncover valuable underground resources — ethically, efficiently, and with precision — before any drilling begins. Since 2014, our team has worked to reshape the oil and gas exploration process through cutting-edge seismoelectric technology that makes hydrocarbon and geothermal detection more direct, accessible, and cost-effective.
With every project, we strive to uphold integrity by delivering clear, reliable data on subsurface oil, gas, and fresh water deposits, empowering clients to reduce risk and maximize results. Through the PL24 system, hands-on training, and expert consulting, PetroLocate equips operators and companies worldwide to confidently explore, plan, and succeed in tapping into the earth’s most valuable energy resources.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND INTERNATIONAL IMPACT
For over a decade, PetroLocate founder Ervin Kraemer has been advancing the development of seismoelectric exploration technology, transforming the original groundwater-focused systems into today’s powerful PL24 platform for oil, gas, and geothermal detection. With successful surveys conducted spanning five countries and three continents, PetroLocate has supported energy exploration projects worldwide and built a trusted network of trained operators and partners through its hands-on training and expert consulting programs.
A Legacy of Innovation and Global Impact
The GF7 (modified and upgraded GF6) Seismoelectric Exploration System is designed to detect and image resistive liquid beneath layers of rock, sediments, and soils by transmitting a seismic pulse that disrupts the natural ions in the liquid.
State-of-the-Art Technology
STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
The PL24 Seismoelectric Exploration System
The PL24 Seismoelectric Exploration System is engineered to detect and image mobile resistive liquids — including oil, natural gas, and fresh water — beneath layers of rock, sediment, and soil. By transmitting a controlled seismic pulse, the PL24 captures the unique electrokinetic response generated at subsurface boundaries, delivering deep, high-resolution insights for confident exploration.
Mapping Capabilities
Leveraging PL24 survey data, we generate detailed subsurface maps and profiles that reveal hydrocarbon zones, fluid movement, porosity variations, and permeability contrasts. This enhances the accuracy of resource targeting and reduces the risk of drilling unproductive wells.
Depth and Yield
Engineered for deep exploration, the PL24 is capable of detecting resistive liquid zones — including oil, gas, and fresh water — at depths of up to 3,000 meters (nearly 10K feet).
Productivity & Applications
With its strong signal-to-noise performance, the PL24 system allows experienced operators to complete dozens of survey points per day. Its applications span hydrocarbon exploration, geothermal investigations, fluid migration studies, and enhanced resource development planning.
LEGACY AND LEADERSHIP
Guided by Expertise and Experience
Founded by Ervin Kraemer, PetroLocate began as a specialized offshoot of the original AquaLocate venture, focusing on advancing seismoelectric technology for the oil, gas, and geothermal sectors. Drawing on over a decade of experience and collaboration with industry experts, Ervin has dedicated himself to refining and enhancing the PL24 system to meet the complex demands of modern hydrocarbon exploration.
