Purpose. The paper presents the results of reconnaissance studies in various regions of the world with the aim of developing and improving the methodology of mobile direct-prospecting methods applying at various stages of prospecting and exploration for ore and combustible minerals, as well as water.
Design/methodology/approach. The developed mobile and low-cost technology includes modified methods of frequency-resonance processing and decoding of satellite images and photo images, vertical electric-resonance sounding (scanning) of a cross-section, as well as a method of integrated assessment of the prospects of oil and gas potential of large prospecting blocks and license areas. Separate methods of this direct-prospecting technology are based on the principles of the “substance” paradigm of geophysical research, the essence of which is to search for a specific substance – oil, gas, gas condensate, gold, zinc, etc.
Findings. Experimental studies on the area of shale oil in the Williston Basin in the north of the United States confirmed the presence of hydrocarbon deposits in the deep horizons of cross-section. To the east of the Williston Basin, a large cluster of basalt volcanic structures with hydrogen and living (healing) water, as well as the process of migration of hydrogen and phosphorus into the atmosphere were revealed by instrumental measurements. In the area of the Yilan impact crater in China, a diamondiferous kimberlite volcano with an upper edge at a depth of 610 m was discovered by reconnaissance studies. The responses from diamonds when scanning the cross-section were recorded from 763 m. By instrumental measurements on the Vredefort structure the prospects of granite volcanic complexes for the discovery of deposits of gold, platinum and other ore minerals were confirmed. Studies in the areas of the discovered iridium anomalies have established that they are located within granite volcanoes, in which conditions for the synthesis of iridium, osmium, nickel and gold exist in the interval 57-59 km. Surveys of salt lakes in various regions of the world indicate that they all form in the contours of volcanic complexes with roots at depths of 470 km and 723 km, filled with ultramafic rocks. Within such volcanoes, signals from dead water, potassium-magnesium salts and lonsdaleite are almost always recorded. The results of instrumental measurements at the site of archaeological research in the area of the predicted fall of the meteorite in the Middle East do not support the impact event. At the local survey sites in the Sahara, the presences of three aquifers were revealed by the cross-section scanning in the depth interval of 0-200 m. Within the three oil and gas promising areas in the south of Ukraine, local zones have been allocated for detailed prospecting work in order to detect and localize industrial accumulations of oil and gas. Signals at hydrocarbon frequencies have been recorded at wells drilled offshore Côte d’Ivoire, in the Barents Sea and onshore in Australia. By scanning the cross-section with large steps of 50 cm and 1 m, intervals promising for prospecting for oil and gas have been identified. A diamondiferous kimberlite volcano was found in the area of seeps on the surface of the Black Sea in the Batumi region.
The practical significance and conclusions. In general, the materials of the experimental work carried out can be considered as additional evidence (arguments) in favor of the volcanic model of the formation of structural elements and the external appearance of the Earth’s surface, as well as deposits of ore and combustible minerals and water. The research results indicate the feasibility of using mobile technology of frequency-resonance processing and decoding of satellite images and photographs for the detection and localization of oil and gas accumulation zones within large blocks and local areas. The use of super-operational and low-cost direct-prospecting technology will significantly speed up the exploration process for oil, gas, natural hydrogen and ore minerals, as well as reduce the financial costs of its implementation.
