MET – Microbial Exploration Technology.

Proprietary method used by CHE-EBT to identify hydrocarbon (HC) gas microseepages.

Accurately measures levels of bacteria in soil that metabolize HC gas.

Can identify extremely low levels of HC gases in soil.

Quantifying the samples collected allows CHE-EBT to generate detailed maps that can identify geochemical

anomalies within the survey area.

Oil and gas accumulations leak hydrocarbons.

Leakage (or microseepage) has a vertical migration to surface.

Bacteria can utilize the hydrocarbon gas from a microseepage as a nutrient source.

Identifying and measuring the bacterial population can identify subsurface hydrocarbon accumulations.

 

Experience – Over 17 million acres of MET surveys around the world both on shore and offshore in 11 countries.

Accuracy – MET recommended drilling results of 81% completion and were 65% greater than non-recommended locations.

Production – MET supported wells have produced 71%-350% more oil than non recommended well locations.

Timely Results – MET surveys typically have a turnaround time of two weeks once the soils have been received in our lab.

 

Applications:

  • Oil and Gas Exploration using MET:
  • On-Shore
  • Off-shore
  • Hydrocarbon prospect / play confirmation.
  • Oil and gas field assessment for step-out development.
