  • Method and apparatus for detection of hydrocarbon deposits
    Patent number: 9158033
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for detecting and categorizing subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs. Air samples are collected and analyzed by counting hydrocarbon ions, such as methane ions and counting at least one higher order hydrocarbon ions, such as propane, pentane or hexane. The methane ions and at least one higher order hydrocarbon ions are associated with location co-ordinates to form a first raw data set and second raw data set. The first and second raw data sets are analyzed and processed to produce hydrocarbon footprints. The hydrocarbon footprints are superpositioned with other available geological information and subsurface formations of interest are identified.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 10, 2013
    Date of Patent: October 13, 2015
    Assignee: SKY HUNTER CORPORATION
    Inventors: Ken Bradley, Russ Duncan, Aaron Balasch
