Unlock your seismic's potential
Maximize value and decrease risk.
Geoscience consulting, conventional exploration, forecasting, and flare-gas bitcoin mining.
About us
We specialize in seismic data conditioning, inversion, interpretation, and more.
We also partner and invest in conventional prospects and working interest deals.
Geoscience consulting
Pre-stack seismic conditioning, inversion, AVO, petrophysics, interpretation, and multivariate play analysis for conventional and unconventional operators.
Exploration
Fuego generates conventional prospects and holds working interests across the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent, and Appalachia, drilling with partners.
Forecasting
Well forecasts, type curves, and deal economics in 4cast, from area of interest to PV10.
Bitcoin mining
Consulting on bitcoin mining projects, backed by an active flare-gas powered, off-grid mine.
Why Fuego
Quantitative methods for conventional and unconventional reservoirs
Unconventional
The quantitative methods that made shale development repeatable mostly live inside large operators: pre-stack inversion, geomechanics from seismic, azimuthal anisotropy, multivariate production prediction.
Fuego brings them to independents. Sweet-spot and fairway mapping, landing zone and well placement, acreage ranking, and type-curve areas, built from seismic, logs, and production together.
Conventional
Twenty years of concentration on unconventional resources pulled capital, reprocessing, and experienced geoscientists away from the Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent conventional trends.
Legacy data in those basins was processed for a different question. Fuego reconditions it, calibrates it to the well control, and drills the prospects it exposes.

Services
Seismic products, log analysis, and interpretation
One geoscientist carries a project from raw gathers through rock physics, inversion, petrophysics, interpretation, and forecast.
Pre-stack seismic products
Gather conditioning: offset/angle and azimuthal conditioning, including regularization, denoise, demultiple, deconvolution, Q-compensation, zero-phasing, and footprint removal. Bandwidth enhancement through wavelet reshaping. Pre-stack, VVAz, and AVAz inversion.
Stacked seismic products
Amplitude enhancement, elastic inversion for acoustic impedance, shear impedance, density, porosity, and lithology, geometric and azimuthal attributes, spectral analysis, 4D seismic, tuning analysis, and AVO/AVA analysis.
Log analysis
Elastic logs from sonic and shear log estimation, geomechanics logs (Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, SHmin, and more), and elastic synthetic modeling with fluid substitution analysis.
Seismic interpretation
Zero-offset and elastic well ties, horizon and fault interpretation, time-depth conversion, net sand, net-to-gross, and net pay, prospect volumetrics and contact mapping, and spectral co-blending.
Unconventional play analysis
Multivariate fairway and sweet-spot mapping. Production prediction from integrated seismic, log, and geologic attributes. Landing zones, well placement, acreage ranking, type-curve areas, and fracture and stress characterization from azimuthal seismic.
Example
Before and after gathers
Inversion and AVO are only as good as the gathers they start from.
Gather conditioning and demultiple run on Fuego's own in-house toolkit, currently in development.
How we work
Our approach
The sequence is the same for a shale fairway and a Frio prospect. Only the inputs change.
Data assembly
Well logs, cores, legacy 2D and 3D seismic, public and private production.
Seismic conditioning
Statics, demultiple, bandwidth, and phase. Offset, angle, and azimuth gathers.
Rock physics and calibration
Calibrated against the control wells, including the failures.
Inversion and attribute volumes
Elastic, geomechanical, azimuthal, spectral.
Integration
Geology, petrophysics, and production on one grid. Multivariate analysis for unconventional fairways. Prospect definition and fault framework for conventional targets.
Forecast and economics
In 4cast: decline curves, type curves, volumetrics, risking.
Decision
Well placement, prospect, recompletion, or pass. Every result goes back into the calibration.
Exploration
Conventional prospects and working interest deals
Fuego generates conventional prospects from reconditioned legacy seismic, calibrated to dense well control, and drills them with partners.
Targets are low cost, fast to first production, and sized so results recycle into the next prospect. Fuego also holds mineral and royalty interests.

Forecasting
Forecasting and valuation with 4cast
Fuego evaluates wells and deals in 4cast, an all-in-one oil and gas evaluation platform that runs from area of interest to PV10 in a single workflow.
Public, proprietary, geoscience, and engineering data come together as one source of truth for type curves, decline forecasts, and economics, so an evaluation moves from idea to decision in hours instead of weeks.

About
Meet Andrew
Andrew Muñoz
President
Geophysics consultant and prospector focused on conventional exploration along the Gulf Coast. B.S. and M.S. in Geophysics.
Andrew Muñoz holds a B.S. in Geophysics from Texas A&M University and an M.S. in Geophysics from the Colorado School of Mines. He began his career at Newfield Exploration, where he worked as an exploration geophysicist across most major U.S. basins and pioneered data science workflows that led to the significant expansion of core development areas including the Uinta and SCOOP/STACK plays.
In 2019, Andrew joined Ensign Natural Resources as the company's sole geophysicist, leading cross-disciplinary teams and developing advanced analytics that supported a $3.4 billion asset sale. He later joined 4cast as Chief Operating Officer, where he led the development of innovative oil and gas valuation software and now continues to serve as a technical advisor.
Today, Andrew works as a high-end geophysics consultant and prospector, focused on conventional exploratory projects along the Gulf Coast, where he combines subsurface expertise with modern data-driven methods to unlock overlooked opportunities.
He also owns and operates an active flare-gas powered, off-grid bitcoin mine, consults on bitcoin mining projects, and has mined bitcoin and Ethereum since 2017.
