Structuremetric Analysis

Integral Part of STeP®

 

Structuremetric Analysis - Locates geological objects by analyzing stress fields evident on the surface. Every geo-medium has its own acoustic density characteristics, and any geological object under the influence of tectonic forces causes a specific pattern of interference (stress) within its surrounding.  Hydrocarbon-bearing microfractured zones form specific paleo stress that can be detected on the surface via Terra’s special process, manifested as the contours of a contact zone between a hydrocarbon deposit and its surrounding rock. Utilizing proprietary algorithms which incorporate the principals of proportionality (Harmonic Division) and the golden ratio principle, the application transforms the aforementioned two-dimensional image into a multidimensional vector model showing pertinent existing subsurface objects, their respective depths and morphological distinctions.
