Petro-Find Geochem specializing in soil gas surveys for oil and gas

PETRO-FIND GEOCHEM LTD SOIL GAS SURVEYS FOR GAS AND OIL

PETRO-FIND GEOCHEM LTD soil gas surveys can assist oil and gas companies in making timely and informed decisions (thereby reducing risk) at every stage of the exploration process from land acquisition to drilling. The method is based on the detection of leakage patterns (i.e. anomalies) of light hydrocarbons (C1-C5) as well as fixed gases such as CO2 in soils that have migrated from underlying oil and gas reservoirs. This microseepage signal can be correlated with type of reservoir i.e. biogenic gas, thermogenic gas, gas liquids, and heavy or light oil.

Soil gas surveys can quickly ascertain at low cost the oil and gas potential in both mature and frontier regions as well as pinpoint areas for focused exploration and follow-up drilling. Our unique hand-portable sampling system allows access to environmentally sensitive areas, forested regions, fields in crop, PFRA's and difficult terrain. Our new lab at Innovation Place, equipped with the latest technology, can offer quick turnaround on analysis of both light hydrocarbons and fixed gases like CO2.

Paul Lafleur, President, is a Registered Professional Engineer in both Alberta and Saskatchewan and is licensed to consult in the field of “ Geological Engineering: mineral and energy economics; application of trace hydrocarbon and fixed gas analysis of soil gas to identify and characterize the presence of hydrocarbons and minerals.”

Petro-Find Geochem Ltd is certified by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan to conduct soil gas surveys for hydrocarbons and minerals. The Certificate of Authorization Number is C1406.
