GRAVITY TRANSDUCER AND APPLICATION TO HYDROCARBON EXPLORATION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01V7/00 

FIELD: mining.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to gravity prospecting and can be used for hydrocarbon exploration. Essence: system with a gravity transducer includes a contact having a first metal and a second metal, different from the first metal, wherein said contact forms a resonant cavity; particle characterized by de Broglie wave, said particle is contained in said resonant cavity; phonon wave in the resonant cavity, said de Broglie wave is connected with said phonon wave; power supply source for power supply to said contact; measuring element, to measure resistance, voltage or current, said measuring element is electrically connected with said contact, wherein the measuring element generates a sensed signal; recording system for recording said sensed signal. Transducer is used in a method of detecting potential hydrocarbon deposits, which comprises following stags: providing the transducer for sensing a change in a spatial orientation of gravity; flying the gravity transducer across the hydrocarbon deposit; sensing a change in spatial orientation of gravity to produce a signal of gravity change, indicating geologic subsurface features, generally associated with hydrocarbon deposit; recording the signal.

EFFECT: technical result is expansion of functional capabilities.
