Passive Seismic Survey Results
While it has been suggested in patents by Gendelman and Chutov that low frequency spectral anomalies regularly exist above hydrocarbon reservoirs, using their suggested methods on more than 2500 data points has shown that not all areas with anomalies do, indeed, contain hydrocarbons.
While employing some of the general approaches of Gendelman and Chutov, the collection and analysis methods used by ARI highlights ratios relative to the highest and lowest amplitudes to pinpoint geographical areas with high productivity potential.
The results have been reliable in determining the availability of producible hydrocarbon reservoirs.
