Subsurface Imaging Presentation

Based on our satellite analysis, we create a data grid

  • Each red dot has been mapped to create a data-grid
  • Precise GPS lat/long recording is used to log each data location
  • Elevation, time of day, and environmental conditions are all recorded for each point
  • We then travel to each data point and initiate the data recording process

The technical process involves

1. We perform satellite analysis of the area to be surveyed

2. We create a data point grid system at the client's desired resolution

3. We obtain special permission to enter the area

4. We set up proprietary equipment to gather data – we take the data back to the office for processing – no processing is done on-site.

5. We use proprietary software to analyze the data

6. We then enter the data into a 3D display system for viewing

7. Graphics are printed out, a report is made, and data is analyzed by a geologist for useful features. The next two pages show the concept and data gathering concept

We process the digital data into a 3D matrix

Examples of 3D data from past surveys

Examples of 3D data from past surveys

  • This image shows, from the surface, the volcano into two zones
  • This is next to a well which had gone to water and was no longer producing
  • It produced thousands of bbls per day and had to be choked down
  • The next page shows the zones clearly

Examples of 3D data from past surveys

Examples of 3D data from past surveys

  • 3D Data from a dry lake bed near a well that has gone to water
  • The well location BF-W is shown
  • The formation, however, being quite tight, had been emptied of the hydrocarbon (red) and was going to water
  • Missed PAY – the remaining formation was not extracted
  • Deeper zone was not extracted

Examples of 3D data from past surveys

  • Producing wells in yellow sands (shallow, ~ 300-foot depth)
  • Underground cliff (granite)
  • Water and hydrocarbon migration upwards from two deeper source zones into the shallow sands
  • ** The shallow production was derived from deep source rocks

Examples of 3D data from past surveys

Examples of 3D data from past surveys

  • The technology was able to discern surface features such as the PAD, the access road, the pipeline as well and water erosion paths.
  • Water was pulling at the surface in the depressed spots, as shown in blue
  • This well was an Orphan Well near Loving, Texas, in a Permian Basin play
  • Total scan depth to 13 K+ feet below the surface
  • (The next page shows formation zones)

Examples of 3D data from past surveys

  • Looking TOP DOWN at the Orphan Well in Loving area (Permian Play)
  • The well was drilled NW of the actual formation and missed by 200 feet
  • (The next images show top down, but turn OFF the water layer – red shows the hydrocarbon that was missed)
