METHOD OF DETECTING OIL AND GAS DEPOSITS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G01V1/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: profiles are selected using a given system and concentration of heavy metals (Co) therein is determined. Further, the redox potential (Eho) and hydrogen index (pHo) are measured. Geochemical processes are then activated in the analysed medium by simultaneous exposure to a field of elastic vibrations with frequency of 1-100 Hz, amplitude of 0.01-1 mm and direct current of 100-120 mA for 10-15 minutes. Concentration of heavy metals (Ss.t) in samples collected in near-electrode zones is determined and pHs.t.k. and Eps.t.k. in the near-cathode zone are measured and oil and gas content of the analysed facility is determined from the increase in relative parameters at the anode cathode and

EFFECT: high accuracy and reliability of exploration data.
