One commercial discovery in four wildcats, isn’t it? Why does 75% drilling efforts waste? Drilling of huge number of dry exploration holes hurts the world climate, as well as world economy, significantly.
There is a new technology for oil/gas detection providing above three discoveries in four wildcats. See: http://www.binaryseismoem.weebly.com .
With new technology (patented invention US 7,330,790) we could make up to three times more oil and gas discoveries than when using conventional technology. And the fact that new technology won’t need more investments is also very important. I disclosed the technology, designed it and successfully tested in the Barents and the Black Seas as well as in the Gulf of Mexico.
I will be happy to help any company to implement my technology. But petroleum industry (top geologists etc) ignores the technology because it will clear real company resources before investors.
