Minerals Spectrum Survey FZ-LLC
Company offers a technology based on a combination of Earth deep sensing method using radiations of different characteristics and a technology of radiation-chemical processing of space images to visualize anomalies associated with various types of deposits.
The low efficiency of geophysical methods of hydrocarbon prospecting and the high cost of exploratory drilling, especially deep wells require the improvement of prompt remote methods of geological exploration. The integration of various geophysical, unconventional and aerospace methods makes it possible to increase the accuracy of delineating the boundaries deposits up to 40-60%, which improves the efficiency of drilling. However, obtaining by remote means of searching the most important geological properties of reservoir rocks (such as their type and porosity), determining thicknesses of hydrocarbon horizons and areas of anomalies remains a challenging task, which makes it difficult to where to drill, if any.
We propose a method to obtain these characteristics using our unique resonance-testing equipment, which processes information from the satellite images and portable field equipment.
Our field survey exploration technology is based on the microwave radiation generators of gigahertz frequency for resonant excitation of atoms of substances in oil-permeable rocks and metal atoms that are contained in various types of oil or in ores.
Expertise
With the help of special equipment, a method of identification, contouring and preliminary assessment of identified hydrocarbon accumulations by measuring with remote equipment the depths of hydrocarbon reservoirs, lithology and porosity, has been worked out. Performed studies confirm the possibility of using the developed remote search method to identify the types of hydrocarbons and the reservoir properties before drilling. This ensures an effective selection of locations for exploratory drilling at depths of up to 6,000m. Accuracy achieved to date is up to 80-95%.
Our Mission
We offer a high-tech solution for the search of all types of minerals for companies interested in innovative and effective technologies, valuing efficiency, reliability and focused on reducing the cost of mineral resources production.
Our History
2008, Mongolia, Gobi, Underground fresh water
With the help of the equipment of the remote geogolographic complex, underground streams of fresh water at depths of 270-315 m, the width of the streams of 4-5 km were identified and recommended for industrial use. Drilled two exploratory wells confirmed the presence of underground drinking streams with the specified characteristics.
2009, USA, Utah, Oil, 160 km2
The data obtained by the equipment of the remote complex made it possible to change the decision to choose drilling points for 2 wells in oil anomalies with low porosity of reservoir rocks. The new drilling points recommended in the oil traps were confirmed by seismic profiles.
2010, USA, Texas, Shale gas, 120 km2
The study showed that the accumulation of shale gas occurs only in porous (fault) zones and has a migration of gas to shale from large gas fields with high gas pressure. The results of the work were confirmed by drilling a well in the identified anomaly, which revealed a gas deposit at a depth of 3.5 km with a gas pressure of ~65 MPa
2011, Mongolia, Shand, Copper-molybdenum ores
Two anomalies associated with copper ore mineralization have been outlined. The conducted selective measurements of the depths of the mineral resources and the assessment of forecast resources for the most part coincided with the results of drilling exploratory wells.
2013 Indonesia, Block Brantas, Oil & Gas
Surveys of 5 sites of the Brantas block (Indonesia) confirmed that hydrocarbon anomalies may not occupy the entire area of the promising geological structure (which is well identified by seismic), but only that part of it in which reservoir rocks have a high porosity of >10-12%.
This was confirmed by 16 unsuccessful (empty) wells drilled earlier by the Customer in hydrocarbon traps (according to seismic data) and 3 successful wells (2 oil and 1 gas) drilled in anomalies with reservoir rocks with a porosity of 15-25%.
2013, Australia, Queensland, Cooper PEL-105
The study of oil and gas trap, previously identified by the results of seismic, was caried out using remote equipment and made it possible not to recommend it for further industrial development, determining it as unpromising, since the reservoir rocks in 3 horizons had a low porosity (5-7%).
It was proposed to the Customer to abandon the planned drilling of the Piri-1 well. But the Piri-1 well was drilled at a point selected by seismic results, in which geologists predicted high volumes of oil and gas reserves. The results of drilling confirmed the low porosity of reservoir rocks (~7%), what didn’t allow to obtain industrial volumes of oil and gas. The well was closed, the Customer suffered financial losses of ~ 10 million dollars. USA.
2018, Kazakhstan, Oil
The reliability of the identified contours of hydrocarbon deposits is confirmed by the results of tests of drilled exploratory wells. The percentage of confidence is 90%. Specialists and experts of the company believe that the proposed method is of great practical value, especially in poorly studied areas.
2019, Nigeria, oil/gas, 1167 km2
Analysis of the presented results showed a high degree of reliability of the obtained information. The work was performed as “blind study” without providing the available information on the object.
The presented method and the equipment may be successfully used to quickly obtain the preliminary data on the presence of HC anomalies.
2019, Russia, Irkutsk, Oil
The following conclusions were made after comparison of the data obtained date with production data of the identified wells. The efficiency of the method is confirmed by presence of commercial flow rate in the identified wells within the zones of hydrocarbon anomalies.
