Brief summary
Introduction
Now maximizing the recovery remaining oil and gas resources in mature and frontier provinces is vital to the continued energy security and prosperity of many countries (United Kingdom, Norway and so on ). It is a goal which can not be achieved using conventional methods only. The goal requires new approach to exploration with attraction new methods with new physical phenomena. I would like to introduce you one of the approach.
Proposed innovative technology initiates echo from oil/gas deposits and directly indicates hidden hydrocarbon reserves. This technology is completely different from seismics or electromagnetics , as it produces data on absolutely different physical base and with better results. Seismic or electromagnetic prospects are just reservoir images. The technology doesn't offer images, but gives data about presence and depth of the reserves as well as hydrocarbon field outline and also allows to find productive reserves in anticline structures as well as in stratigraphic, lithologic, tectonic and any other traps. Hidden hydrocarbon reserves in any traps is disclosed during passing a line profile under the traps. As a result, new technology significantly increases number of discoveries for the same area (because seismics usually doesn't define reserves in monocline blocks with sufficient reliability). It can mitigate shortage in hydrocarbon reserves in the future and greatly decrease exploration expense . The technology was successfully tested on 3000 km observation lines.
Physics
This Technology was patented in the USA in 2005 . It is based on new phenomenon in hydrocarbon deposits ( A. Berg. Method of Seismo-Electromagnetic Detecting of Hydrocarbon Deposit, US Patent № 7,330,790. October, 2005):
if electromagnetic and seismic pulses penetrates together the deposits simultaneously we can record electromagnetic response from the deposits on the surface. This phenomenon is called Binary Seismo-Electromagnetic (BSE) .

Technology
The BSE technology has two modification – marine and on-land. Short electromagnetic and seismic pulses have about 100 kJ energy each. Electromagnetic source is long grounded cable, seismic source is special Sparker. Electromagnetic response from hydrocarbon deposits is detected by high-speed electrodes.
Specification(for any type of trap) - Wildcatting provides at least 75% drilled wells with commercial flow.
- Depth of investigation is up to 6 km.
- Resolution in thickness of commercial hydrocarbon deposit <0.005 H, where H is depth of the deposits.
- Error in determination of petroleum-water contact is < 50 m x (1+H/2). About the contact monitoring under production or injection, please visit www.phenomenon-in-oil-accumulation.weebly.com
- Error in determination of hydrocarbon deposit depth is < 150 m x (1+H/2).
- Productivity is >7 km per hour for marine surveys or > 10 km per day for on-land surveys.
- Power consumption is <50 kW.
Main tasks - Commercial hydrocarbon reserves prognoses in traps of any type with high-probability.
- Detection of hydrocarbon deposit presence on the observation line over structure wings, monocline rocks and other geological objects.
- Outlining of the hydrocarbon deposits. Significant increase in recovery factor with monitoring of oil-water and gas-water contacts under production and fluid injection.
- Estimation of hydrocarbon deposits depth.
- Estimation of hydrocarbon reserves volume.
- Recommendation for drilling.
- Expected main results
The technology can help to discover and monitor hydrocarbon fields in less money in mature and new provinces (offshore and onshore). It is may be expected to hold recent oil/gas production for many years.
Acceptance BSE technology for implementation on mature provinces is the only (and the cheapest) way to maximize the recovery of remaining oil and gas resources.
BSE technology can be demonstrated any time on well-known fields and new blocks world-wide. See also
