ABSTRACT

In the last 50 years, Previous HitsurfaceNext Hit Previous HitgeochemicalNext Hit detection of microseeps has gained credibility as a viable Previous HitpetroleumNext Hit Previous HitexplorationNext Hit tool. Traces of organic compounds measured in the near-Previous HitsurfaceTop sediments provide a rapid and inexpensive method for diagnosing the probable hydrocarbon content of potential trapping features that have been delineated in the subsurface by seismic methods.
