ABSTRACT
surface geochemical method for petroleum
exploration is to compare the results of the method used with the drilling success. Four
case histories show how one surface geochemistry technique, which measures the
concentration of iodine in soils, relates to postsurvey wildcat and development success.
The four cases are in separate basins in the onshore U.S.A.: the Denver-Julesburg Basin in
Colorado, the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, the Williston Basin in North Dakota, and the
Illinois Basin in Illinois. In each case, properly processed soil-iodine data demonstrate
a correlation between soil-iodine anomalies and petroleum
accumulations.
