Geodynamic Analysis (GDA) – Determines the primary hydrocarbon/mineral generating system of any area and assesses prospectivity based on a tectonic divisibility theory which postulates predetermined and hereditary dependencies between concentric zones of deep energy and fluid discharge. Based on mantle plume theory, GDA was transformed into a new method of computational tectonic analysis.  It ranks geodynamic systems (formed as a result of deep energy and fluid fluxes coming from the core-mantle boundary to the Earth’s upper horizons via narrow fractured conduits) according to a numerical model of thermal convection in the mantle.  The method constructs a computational model of the tectonic framework that represents the structural arrangement of the Earth’s entrails.  These systems can be thought of as regular patterns of tectonic divisibility in the lithosphere that range from a few meters to thousands of kilometers. Having profiled many known mineral deposits of deep genesis, the model shows that such deposits, including hydrocarbons, tend to occur at intersecting nodes of these concentric “fluid-supplying pipes”. GDA significantly advances the studies of the mantle transforming them into a practical solution for hydrocarbon prospecting.
