MOBILE TECHNOLOGY OF SATELLITE IMAGES AND PHOTOGRAPHS FREQUENCY-RESONANCE PROCESSING: PROSPECTS OF APPLICATION TO ACCELERATE AND OPTIMIZE EXPLORATION PROCESS FOR OIL AND GAS IN OFFSHORE AREAS

Abstract

The article analyzes the directions of the possible use of super-mobile direct-prospecting methods for research in marine areas within the framework of a new paradigm of geological and geophysical exploration for oil and gas. The mobile low-cost technology includes modified methods of frequency-resonance processing and decoding of satellite images and photo images, vertical electric resonance sounding (scanning) of the cross-section, as well as a method of integral assessment of the prospects for oil and gas content and ore content of large prospecting blocks and license areas. Separate methods of this direct-prospecting exploration technology are based on the principles of the “substance” paradigm of geophysical research, the essence of which is the search for a specific (required in each specific case) substance - oil, gas, gas condensate, gold, zinc, uranium, etc. The materials of conducted experimental reconnaissance studies in various regions of the globe (Black and North Seas, Gulf of Mexico, Brazilian offshore, hydrogen degassing areas) are important arguments in favor of the "volcanic" model of formation of various structural elements of Earth, deposits of combustible and ore minerals as well as water. The results of instrumental measurements indicate that many of the surveyed areas are located above volcanoes, within which the synthesis of oil, condensate and gas is carried out at the border of 57 km. In the contours of such volcanoes, there are deep channels through which oil, condensate and gas migrate to the upper horizons of cross-section and can replenish the already formed deposits on hydrocarbon fields. In the absence of reliable seals over such channels, oil, condensate and gas can migrate to the upper horizons of cross-section, the water column, and gas further into the atmosphere. During this migration, gas seeps are formed on the seabed and oil slicks on the water surface. The measurements confirmed the presence of all previously established types of volcanoes, in which conditions for hydrocarbon synthesis exist at a depth of 57 km. These are volcanoes filled with 1) salt, 2) sedimentary rocks, 3) limestones, 4) granites and 5) ultramafic rocks. Studies on relatively large areas indicate that in various regions there are a significant number of volcanoes, within which there are no conditions for the synthesis of hydrocarbons and amber. These are volcanoes filled with 1) dolomites, 2) marls, 3) siliceous rocks, as well as 4) basalts and 5) kimberlites. The effectiveness of the methods of satellite images and photographs frequency-resonance processing during the search operations conducting in marine areas can be increased if they are used in combination with modern technologies of the Earth remote sensing. When conducting experiments at the survey sites, methodological techniques of the zones detection and localization, within which the migration of hydrocarbons to the surface horizons of the cross-section, and gas (methane) and hydrogen into the atmosphere occurs, were developed based on the results of satellite images and photo images frequency-resonance processing. Additional evidence obtained by instrumental measurements in favor of the deep (abiogenic) genesis of oil, condensate and gas is of fundamental importance. Numerous facts of fixing signals from oil, condensate and gas at the boundary of their synthesis 57 km in various regions of the world make it possible to suggest the migration of abiogenic methane and hydrogen into the Earth's atmosphere in colossal volumes! Methane seeps and oil slicks can serve as indicators of the activity of volcanoes in which hydrocarbons are synthesized. In these cases, drilling wells in the areas of the location of deep channels of the abiogenic hydrocarbon’s migration to the upper horizons of the cross-section may be associated with great risks - with emergency situations during drilling. The practical application of direct-prospecting methods and technologies will accelerate and optimize the exploration process for oil and gas within marine areas.
