Research Studies
Modern reconnaissance technology allows us to economically provide exceptional targets worthy of the expense of 3D seismic definition. It's possible to scan a region and describe anomalies caused by the local structuring of the sediments. The techniques and processes are now well documented in publications such as the AAPG's Memoir 66, Hydrocarbon Migration and Its Near Surface Expression.
Today's difference is that the primary targets of the reconnaissance phase are local, near-surface anomalies, that can reflect epigenetic mineralization and pore-filling produced by upward microseepage of gaseous hydrocarbons from reservoirs in the underlying formations. The resulting locally different properties of density, magnetic susceptibility and/or conductivity of such zones cause them to be geophysically measureable by airborne micromagnetics and surface survey methods such as magnetic susceptibilty, gravity, electrical, and electromagnetics.
When high resolution reconnaissance surveys are systematically used to focus on these structural leads and proven surface geochemical survey techniques are then used to establish the presence or absence of hydrocarbon microseepage, prospect leads can be efficiently prioritized and the appropriate seismic definition programs planned. The end result will be demonstrably lower finding costs and appreciably higher wildcat discovery rates.
