Four Innovative Exploration Technologies

Terra Energy & Resource Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: TEGR), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Terra Insight Services, Inc. (Terra), offers exploration services using innovative technologies.  Terra’s methods are applied in early exploration stages, in uncharted areas, in difficult settings, in the face of complex geological conditions and/or after conventional methods fail to produce results. The Terra Technology suite is a powerful set of tools that increase exploration success rates, save time and cut costs. It includes:

Sub-Terrain Prospecting (STeP®) Technology – STeP includes five independent, remote sensing and computational technologies under its heading, each based on the multi-stage modeling, processing and interpretation of satellite, cartographic, and other data to assess, quantify and locate hydrocarbon structures on or offshore

Naturally Adsorbed Gas Survey (NAGS™) – NAGS is a geochemical technology which analyzes adsorbed gases in collected samples and has been effective in determining zones of hydrocarbon accumulation

Side View Seismic Locator (SVSL) – SVSL is a micro-seismic technology based on the processing of scattered waves (rather than reflected) that determines zones of open fracturing in reservoirs, optimizes drilling location selection, improves production rates,  and avoids drilling complications

Seismic Location of Emission Centers (SLEC) – SLEC is a passive-seismic technology which captures fluid (oil, gas or water) saturation, oil-to-water contact and reservoir dynamics

All of the technologies have been under development for dozens of years and have been applied in hundreds of projects. Their application depends on both technical science (sophisticated algorithms) and geoscientific experience (the analyst’s lab and field experience). Scores of successful exploration applications are on record for the world’s largest natural resource companies and governments. Separately, each of the technologies reveals important information about the subsurface. In combination, the technologies are even more powerful for exploration because agreement in the conclusions between the various independent methods has produced strong results. Terra employs over two dozen of scientists and PhD’s with more than 400 years in combined industry experience in applied geoscience and exploratory innovation. In combination with traditional methods, or in lieu of same, Terra substantially reduces hydrocarbon discovery cost, time, and risk.
