The value of the early application of high definition airborne geophysics

Ever-increasing demand for oil and gas is putting pressure on exploration companies to investigate new models and opportunities. The competition is intense in mature areas and the production time lines are often extrapolated in more remote areas. Exploration companies are venturing into increasingly challenging environments, whether into frontier basins, oil sands, tight gas plays, or simply going to greater depths. In many of these environments, the existing exploration toolkit, while established and well-understood, does not provide the answers with cost-effectiveness and rapidity. High definition airborne geophysical surveys offer a suite of tools with low cost and rapid turn-around, which address many exploration challenges in both conventional and non-conventional plays.
