The name Amulet is a metaphor for risk management. Using geophysical methods in oil and gas exploration is key to managing the risks of dry holes.

 The word amulet is synonymous to talisman which comes from the Greek word "talein" and means "to initiate into the mysteries". In oil and gas exploration, mysteries out-number the known ten-to-one. At Amulet Exploration, the use of diligent exploration methods and high-level geophysical interpretation serve to minimize the mysteries and thus lower the risk profile of the client’s exploration or development projects.

The word amulet comes from Latin amuletum, meaning "an object that protects a person from trouble". At Amulet Exploration, seismic methods are viewed as the best form of exploration risk management available to the oil and gas industry.

Certainly, the notion that geophysics is a form of black magic also plays, tongue-and-cheek, into the name Amulet. Yet, at Amulet Exploration, much care is taken to unravel the mysteries of the subsurface with due care and attention to detailed forward modeling, interaction with the client’s geologist, detailed seismic interpretation, and exploration risk quantification and management.
