USGS Releases Oil and Gas Resource Assessment, Geophysical Technologies in Oil and Gas Exploration

Recently, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) released a report on the undiscovered oil and gas resources in Wyoming, estimating the potential reserves in the region. This report highlights the latest advancements in oil and gas resource assessment. However, as the demand for resource extraction continues to rise, more efficient ways of conducting geological exploration and resource assessment have become a focal point in the industry. In this context, geophysical exploration technologies, especially Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES), are providing strong technical support for oil and gas exploration.

Application of Geophysical Exploration Technologies in Oil and Gas Exploration

Geophysical exploration technologies are widely used in oil and gas exploration, primarily through detecting the physical characteristics of the underground to assess resource reserves. In recent years, with continuous technological advancements, techniques such as Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and High-Density Electrical Method have become core tools in geological exploration. These technologies help exploration teams precisely locate oil and gas reservoirs, assess the reserves and quality of underground resources, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of resource assessment.

Geotech Instrument Co., Ltd., as a global leader in geophysical exploration equipment manufacturing, focuses on providing advanced exploration instruments and solutions. The company’s ERT systems, with their high-precision underground detection capabilities, have been widely used in various fields, including oil and gas exploration.
