METHOD OF GEOLOGICAL PROSPECTING Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: borehole or surface operations for search for reservoirs filled with hydrocarbons and for other mineral resources in process of geological mapping. SUBSTANCE: proposed method of geological prospecting includes arrangement of sources and/or geophones of corresponding fields or signals on day surface or in borehole, action with field of source on controlled geological volume, measurement of response and/or residual field and processing of results, subsequent transfer of sources and/or geophones and repetition of all mentioned operations. Sources and/or geophones are installed at distances which are terms of series of type L_r= L_r-1+L_r-2, where r=3,4,...4; L₁=G; L₂=2G is base of series. EFFECT: improved authenticity of method.
