Inside each module is an adsorbent structure engineered by GORE to be hydrophobic and to collect a wide variety of volatile inorganic and organic compounds ranging from C2 (ethane) to C20 phytane. Each module and its jar are labeled with a unique serial number. An adhesive device attached to the jar and lid will indicate if it has been opened.
These adsorbents are protected by a sealed durable microporous tube of polytetrafluoroethylene or GORE-TEX® Membrane. This inert membrane has pores 1000 times larger than the molecules to be collected and an open area of over 80% making it essentially transparent to the gas molecules. Yet these hydrophobic pores are small enough to reject soil and water to a depth of over 30 feet keeping the adsorbents clean and eliminate water contact. As a result, these Gore-Sorbers can be used in air, soil, saturated sediments, or directly in water. When placed in water, compounds will partition across the membrane following Henry's Law and be adsorbed almost instantaneously.
Why GORE™ Surveys for Petroleum Exploration?
- Focus seismic acquisition
- Reduce "Dry Well " risk
- Lower finding costs
- Make informed bids or blocks decisions, saving investment
- Evaluate frontier acreage quicker
Gore can generate geochemical images (maps) of the gas, condensate or oil charging your prospective acreage whether located onshore or offshore.
- Detection of thermogenic compounds directly emana-ting from your reservoir.
- Differentiation of petroleum phases including gas, condansate and oil
- Delineation of the charged petroleum reservoir.
Exploration Geologists have succesfully used GORE™ Survey for exploration decisions in stratigraphic, structural, combina-tion and unconventional traps. The GORE™ Survey adds a third dimension to data integration augmenting geophysical and geological data to improve success, reduce finding costs and builds reserves quicker.
Merty Energy is the Authorized Distributor of GORE™ Survey in and around Turkey.
