Zastosowanie technik geochemii powierzchniowej w poszukiwaniu złóż ropy naftowej i gazu ziemnego

The past decade has seen a renewed interest in surface geochemical exploration which, together with developments in analytical and interpretative methods, have produced a new body of data and insights that established the validity of many of these exploration methods. Surface exploration methods can not replacc conventional exploration methods, but they can provide a powerful support to them. Geochemical and other surface methods have found their greatest utility when used in conjunction with available geological and geophysical information. Properly acquired and analyzed, the combination of surface geochemical data and subsurface exploration data has the potential to reduce exploration and development risk and costs by improving success rate and shortening development time.
