3. The Innovative Technology is patented
Name of useful model: 4
METHOD OF SEARCH FOR
MINERAL DEPOSITS
Serial number: u 35122
Date :
Formula of useful model:
Method of search for mineral deposits, which includes processing of an space photograph, which differs due to the fact that a black-and-white negative is used as an space photograph which was obtained in an infrared range of frequencies, and processing of an space photograph is conducted after a package was preliminary formed which consists of a negative of space photograph, test wafer and X-ray film, the formed package is treated with γ-rays, X-ray film is separated, the latter being chemically processed and placed in an alternating electric field of high pressure of a camera of gas-discharge visualization and visualize an obtained image on a PC screen.

4. Capabilities of the Technology
Services are provided in the following format:
Territorial applicability – no limitations (any in-land or shelf area)
Total size of the territory – practically without limitations
Sounding depth – 0-5 km underground
Detectable minerals – water, oil, gas, different metals in ore beds
Success ratio – for hydrocarbons and water reserves > 90%
Duration – typically 2 months
Safety – the method is environmentally friendly and
completely safe for people
We work with:
hydrocarbons, underwater accumulations, other minerals in large and small territories, on land, on shelf 4

Diagnosis of territories with the help of our patented method
Oil field
Gas field

flow
We conduct radiation-chemical processing of analogue infrared satellite images of territories according to the patent.
Diagnosis is a simplified version of the technology allowing to quickly detect and delineate the oil fields (and other minerals) in large areas.
Also, we determine the number of horizons and the possible depth. Several minerals can be surveyed at the same time.
After that we can prospect and explore deposits in a localized oil field.

6. Remote prospecting and exploration of deposits
Using the patented technology processing of satellite
images we can identify and investigate in detail the
deposits onshore and offshore
Thus we have:
- Surface contours of the deposit, - The number of horizons, - The depth of the horizons, - Thickness of horizons, - Calculation of extractable reserves.
To 100 sq. km and more
Deposits
Remote survey of drilling point
Information necessary for work:
coordinates of drilling point - the desired mineral and,
if possible, a sample from a well in the region.
Results of the survey:
Presence or absence of mineral deposits in the
drilling point,
- Number of horizons, estimated depth of the
horizon, thickness of horizons.

10. 5. Testing of the Technology
Technology is tested in the USA
Testing and practical demonstration of innovative technology was conducted in 2009 on territory of state of Utah. Тotal area is 3600sq. km.
Directly on locality were inspected beforehand unknown for us underground objects, being drillholes and oil-extracting settings.
As a result of inspection the following control indexes were defined by us: presence of deposits of oil and gas, amount of horizons in them, depths of bedding of horizons and their thickness. Information obtained by us during the survey was fixed and presented to the members of commission and officially confronted with information of Arbiter.
Тhe results: Effectiveness = 100%, Accuracy of depth ≥ 98%

Remote Testing
Our data: A = 1st horizon B = 2nd horizon А В
Comparison of data was done according to the following parameters:
Quantity of control points – 2;
Qualitative indicators: presence of hydrocarbons in the well – oil, gas or their absence;
Quantitative indicators: occurrence depths and useful capacity of horizons.
Results:
1. Рresence of oil and oil inflows in wells have
matched 100 %.
2. Average accuracy of definition of oil occurrence
depths in horizons is ~ 80 %.
3. Useful capacity of oil horizons is defined with
accuracy of 70 % (72m / 50m).
The conducted testing of the Technology has proved its unique high efficiency
