Discovery GeoServices Corporation is an aggressive oil and gas exploration consulting firm with experience in most domestic U.S. basins, Australia and Europe. Its particular expertise is with "resource plays", due to the experience of its president, Michael Lewis. The current focus is on unconventional projects in Europe and the Bakken. Discovery provides geological services like prospect generation, evaluation, selection and support, but also has a long history with oil and gas operations. 

HISTORY

Discovery was formed in December 1980 to provide wellsite geological support for various operators in the North Texas area. However, seizing the opportunity of the “boom times”, Discovery rapidly expanded into drilling and operating, with over 500 wells  in its care by 1985. The firm drilled several new field discoveries, from south Texas to the Williston Basin.

Partners and/or consulting clientèle has included Conoco, Dome Petroleum, Harkin, Eagle, Texas Crude, JN Exploration, XTO, Lyco Energy, 3Legs, Samson and many others. In 1986 through 1988, Discovery focused primarily on research and development of oil and gas potential in the Mancos Shale with Gary Williams Company in the San Juan Basin and the Mission Canyon on the eastern flank of the Williston Basin, both of which resulted in successful drilling. The company focused primarily on the Williston Basin from 1993 through 1996.

After a buyout of Discovery's Williston Basin interests by Lyco Energy in 1996, Mr. Lewis (the president) served as VP-Exploration for Lyco until 2004.  In that position, he was responsible for the initiation of the extremely successful and very active Middle Bakken Play in the Williston Basin, which contains over 500 prolific horizontal wells.

Discovery is now again rapidly growing as a consulting geology firm for several exploration companies and is also in the process of developing projects for its own accord.
