Direct geochemical evidence of petroleum presence is extremely valuable in the estimation of the oil potential of an area, prospect or site.
The detection of petroleum seepage using surface geochemical methods, by searching for the gaseous hydrocarbon compounds in the soils, is the easiest, fastest, and most cost-effective method to obtain this information.
The Company has carried out several geochemical sampling campaigns, both onshore and offshore in a water depth in excess of 2000m. Some of these campaigns included the recovery of more than 1.000 samples
Fugro Oceansismica carries out land and marine surface geochemical exploration sampling and studies for the detection of petroleum seepage using surface geochemical methods by searching for the gaseous hydrocarbon compounds in the soils.
Geochemical surveys have proven to be a useful tool both in regional studies, to integrate other exploration means in order to evaluate the potentiality of concessions, or on individual prospects to better define their characteristics when the subsurface geology is known.
