The use of induced polarization (IP) methods in oil and gas exploration dates back to the 1930s, but the validity of anomalies has been difficult to establish. Although recent geochemical and downhole research has verified the source of IP anomalies in some geologic environments, the influence of cultural (anthropogenic) features on the electrical data remains a serious stumbling block to the a...

introduction the mahour exploration area is a polymetallic system containing copper, zinc and silver. the mineralization can be seen in two forms of veins and disseminations. this area is structurally within the lut block, west of deh-salm village. recent exploration work and studies carried out by geologists on this volcanic-plutonic area of lut demonstate its importance indicating new reserve...

With the constant consumption of conventional oil and gas resources, unconventional oil and gas resources with great resource potential such as tight oil have gradually been valued and become the new exploration area. Jimsar Sag is the key tight oil exploration and development block in Junggar Basin of Northwestern China. Based on the data sets of geology, oil production test, logging, rock thi...

Abstract Most conventional statistical methods aiming at defining geochemical concentration thresholds for separating anomalies from background have limited effectiveness in areas with complex geological settings and variable lithology. In this paper, median+2MAD as a method of exploratory data analysis (EDA) and concentration-area (C-A) fractal model as two effective approaches in separation g...

A comparison is made of the probability of the process of two neutrino double beta decay for Se in direct (counter) and geochemical experiments. It is shown that the probability is systematically lower in geochemical experiments, which characterize the probability of ββ(2ν) decay a few billions years ago. The experimental data for Te are also analyzed. It is shown that geochemical measurements ...

Geochemical mapping programs carried out by the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) have generated large databases containing information on the concentrations of chemical elements in rocks, surface sediments and biogeochemical materials. Regional geochemical data being imprecise, multivariate, spatially auto-correlated and non-normally distributed pose specific problems to the choice of data ana...

Abstract The deposition and evolution of fine-grained sediments is a hot topic in sedimentary rock studies important for accurately evaluating shale gas sweet spots. In this paper, the characteristics Wufeng-Longmaxi shales, major targets Chinese exploration, were studied by using core observations, thin section analyses, scanning electron microscopy, geochemical analysis, fossil identification...

The geochemical history of an upper deltaic plain pending tidal wetland restoration was reconstructed to assess remobilization of redox-sensitive constituents in sediment, identify depositional processes promoting geochemical retention, and determine the extent of contamination with Hg, As, Pb, Cu, and Zn. Three 12-14-m sediment cores were analyzed for bulk sediment geochemistry using ICP-AES. ...
