The Science

Our proprietary patented technology is a specialized Airborne Hydrocarbon Sensing System (AHSS) that is deployed on a fixed-wing aircraft. This sensor detects airborne hydrocarbons in the atmosphere, at very low concentrations. When the data is processed using our proprietary software, we are able to develop maps that indicate below-ground concentrations of hydrocarbons (oil and natural gas).

How It Works

Sky Hunter Technology aims to enhance petroleum exploration by offering a cost-effective tool for pinpointing areas of interest, complementing conventional techniques. This efficient exploration method, flying a linear grid pattern at low altitudes, processes data to identify potential hydrocarbon reservoirs for targeted seismic programs. The benefits of using this technology for petroleum exploration include:

  • Sky Hunter Technology serves as a valuable, cost-effective supplement to conventional exploration methods.

  • The processed data guides focused seismic programs, reducing their size and minimizing environmental impacts compared to ground-based techniques.

  • While not a replacement for seismic, this technology enhances exploration efficiency by providing critical information for targeted programs.

  • The combined use of Sky Hunter Technology and seismic leads to fewer dry holes, increasing success ratios, boosting profits, and lowering per-barrel finding costs.

Microseeps

Hydrocarbon microseepage generally refers to the rapid vertical migration of the hydrocarbons from subsurface reservoirs to the earth's surface. The migration rate is relatively fast, but not in quantities large enough to measurably deplete a reservoir in geological time. The use of the geochemical data at the surface for oil and gas exploration is dependent on data collection, data processing, and interpretation. Near-surface geochemistry gives no information about reservoir depth, thickness, or permeability, but is able to define spatially the size, shape, and location of petroleum reserves.
