GORE™ Surveys – Pertoleum Exploraration Surveys
  • Evaluate Frontier Acreage Quicker
  • Focus seismic acquisition
  • Make informed bids or block decisions, saving investment
  • Reduce dry hole risk
  • Lower finding costs

Gore can generate geochemical images (maps) of the gas, condensate or oil hydrocarbons charging your prospective acreage whether located onshore or offshore.

The GORE™ Survey for Exploration has been used effectively for 15 years in over 50 countries around the world, 100 basins with reservoirs as deep as 25,000 feet and buried below 1000's of feet of volcanic rock or anhydrite.  Apply this technique in environments ranging from frozen trundra in Russia and Canada to boiling deserts in Egypt and Libya and elsewhere including tropical jungles, temperate forests, grasslands, swamps and offshore in water depths from shallow transition zones to 7000'.

Gore can quote and arrange fieldwork for 5000 module frontier surveys or 200 module prospect evaluations.  We have taken surface geochemistry high tech, measuring over 90 compounds ranging from C2 (ethane) to C20 (Phytane) in all types of soil using patented passive diffusion adsorbent devices called GORE™ Modules (GORE-SORBER® Collectors).  Following sensitive analysis by GC/MS Gore generates a mapped interpretation using sophisticated multivariate statistical techniques used for:

  • Detection of thermogenic compounds directly emanating from your reservoir
  • Differentiation of petroleum phases including gas, condensate and oil
  • Delineation of the charged petroleum reservoir

Exploration geologists have successfully used GORE™ Surveys for exploration decisions in stratigraphic, structural, combination, and unconventional traps.  The GORE™ Survey adds a third dimension to data integration augmenting geophysical and geological data to improve success, reduce finding costs, and build reserves quicker.
