Welcome to The Explorationist Pages   These pages contain an assortment of information about petroleum exploration technologies and the oil industry.

Useful links:  Recent oil price  --  WTI price graphs  --  sci.geo.petroleum newsgroup  --  OilNergy News  (was Oil World News)  --  Recruitment Links

 

Page Updates:
More software enhancements have been made to the ALF Explorer (ALF Tools renamed) software (17 April 2000)
The Industry Analysis page was updated (25 May 2000)
Paper on interpreting leakage indicators on seismic added Dec 2000
New link: NAPE®   --  prospect expo website  --  view and post prospects
On the Road Again  --  Dr Geoff O'Brien and Mr Robert Cowley present a 4 day workshop on hydrocarbon seepage detection and mapping in Tokyo, Japan, March 2002

The AAPG Reference "Surface Exploration Case Histories" was published in November 2002
read the Foreword: "From Skeptic to Believer" by Richard E. Wyman
Chapter 16 is a case history from Australia:
O’BRIEN, G.W., COWLEY, R., QUAIFE, P., MORSE, M., 2002: Characterizing hydrocarbon migration and fault-seal integrity in Australia’s Timor Sea via multiple, integrated remote-sensing technologies, in Surface exploration case histories: Applications of geochemistry, magnetics, and remote sensing, D. Schumacher and L. A. LeSchack, eds., AAPG Studies in Geology No. 48 and SEG Geophysical References Series No. 11, P.393-413.
More information is available at the AAPG Online Bookstore

ALF Survey Pages  --  pages documenting the airborne laser fluorosensor (ALF) technique used for oil exploration. (Feb 2003)

New link: Actinic Technology  --  using lasers, light, fibre optics, spectroscopy and statistics to analyse the chemical and physical composition of materials -- Laser ablation mass spectrometry

The "Seep Search" Pages  --  the "Seep Search" software application is being developed for the detection, analysis and mapping of shallow hydrocarbon seepage and leakage anomalies imaged on reflection seismic data

Hydrocarbon Exploration Notes  --  This brief collection of notes was compiled to answer a number of email enquiries requesting information about the use of hydrocarbon leakage indicators to explore for oil and gas.

Geosoft link added to the software pages. (April 2004)
