Advantages
Geology
Even the best seismic technology struggles to deliver in difficult terrain. Equally, complex geology provides seismic imaging challenges as do particular rock types, e.g. salt, basalt and carbonates.
Complementing seismic surveys with the high-resolution imaging capability of BlueQube to form an integrated subsurface picture can deliver the clarity you need.
Cost
The cost of surveying large areas can be prohibitive. By flying above the terrain, large areas can be cost-efficiently surveyed and, with the new depth and quality of imaging deliverable by BlueQube, areas selected can be pre-screened for additional spend.
The more data, the better the decision and the more cost and time-efficient the entire exploration phase; precisely the reason BlueQube is a perfect ‘pre-seismic’ tool.
Cross-referencing data from seismic and integrating other complementary data sets with high-definition gravity gradiometry, allows interpreters to choose drill locations with greater confidence or help steer leasing decisions.
Access
Onshore exploration areas are often located in areas of difficult terrain and limited access. In addition, environmental and political issues often limit the amount of exploration possible. BlueQube offers a solution to these issues by using an airborne, non-invasive, environmentally friendly alternative to acquiring land-based, detailed geologic information.
In some ‘prospective’ areas of the world, access for land surveys is restricted because of significant natural difficulties, such as swamps, jungle and dunes. By surveying from the air BlueQube helps you rise above these challenges.
Environment
Environmentalists often object to invasive land-based activities that conflict with the surrounding environment. Using BlueQube, a non-invasive, passive technology, detailed information can be acquired that will help steer future land-based activities and limit any environmental impact.
Time
The ability to screen large tracts of land cost-effectively and quickly is a key exploration challenge. Using BlueQube, vast areas can be covered efficiently, providing valuable information that can help drive exploration strategy. By pre-screening larger areas prior to embarking on other exploration activities, exploration spend can be focused on high graded areas that offer reduced risk. This is especially important in highly contested areas of exploration.
