Me again Ken,
Maybe Total should be careful. Are they fooling themselves? Remember what happened to Elf Aquitaine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Oil_Sniffer_Hoax Time to call in Greg Hodges. Rolf From: SEGMIN [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roger Henderson via SEGMIN Sent: 30-Dec-19 23:54 To: [email protected] Cc: Roger Henderson <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [SEGMIN] Oh really! Ken, OK, I am in holiday mood, and retired so I found time to look at this presentation with an open mind. I know I could be more dismissive if I was stressed by work and short of time to view it. As you say it is a combination of reality and SciFi but I would go for minimal Sci Fi. We have heard of multiple drones spraying fields of sensors before (also for EM receivers). As I understand, wireless pick-up is available.They are not claiming anything impossible from the results, like gold at 10km., just a better way to acquire standard seismic (as shown in the video). They are however, guilty of making claims as yet unsubstantiated by any real results. A first “small-scale pilot” study in the jungles of PNG, “reduced apertures by a factor of 1 in 15”(?) and WILL be followed by an industrial test…in 2021". Then an acquisition in the deserts of Abu Dhabi WILL take place from late 2019 through early 2020”. Unless they have just not updated their presentation. TOTAL are not exactly a shonky company. You have got me wanting to see their future developments.Thank you for sharing it. I agree that the video must have been expensive.

Over the last couple of years I have seen new "developments" in geophysics that include doing airborne work that result into maps with metallic element concentrations, along with groundwater and hydrocarbons down to 5km depth. Absolute BS but they seem to find people to pay for these pseudo-studies. J.

If they are “into” using idioms, how about calling their project FART. Fast Action Response Team. Call the above my year-end thought … and all the best in the New Year to everybody.

Dear Colleagues Every once and a while we bump into something which gives us pause to realize we don’t all think the same and some folks, well, are simply ‘out there’. https://www.ep.total.com/en/innovations/research-development/metis-integrated-geophysical-acquisition-system-quality-real-time#.XgclejTifF8.email The technical ideas are an interesting collection of current reality and something you’d expect in a new NETFLIX SciFi release; all we need is a maleficent AI program to get us all running for the control shed. The biodegradable geophones are pretty cool but they seem to skirt discussing the energy source; Kamikaze drones? Just producing this video must have cost $0.5M. With the closing hours of 2019, it gives us something to look forward to in 2020… Best of the New Year/Ken <content://com.samsung.android.email.attachmentprovider/1/11699/RAW> ----------------------- SEGMIN community mailing list service ([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ).
