Test of a new surface geochemistry tool for resource prediction in frontier areas (original) (raw)

Marine and Petroleum Geology, 1996

Abstract

ABSTRACT Data from a regional surface geochemistry survey in the North Viking Graben have been studied using principal components analysis, which allows process-specific fingerprints from extremely small amounts of thermogenic hydrocarbons in sea-bed sediments to be isolated and separated from data noise. Although the North Viking Grahem has thick, unfaulted Tertiary sediments with no obvious seepage conduits, the detected signals correlate with proved hydrocarbon accumulations in the area.
