Geophysical researches for the hydrocarbon accumulations searching in Ukrainian marine Antarctic expedition of 2018

The results of geophysical research in the Ukrainian Marine Antarctic Expedition of 2008 from the ship on the route Cape Town Port (South Africa) -Falkland Islands -King George Island, as well as on the polygon in the area of the Antarctic Peninsula are analyzed. The studies were conducted using mobile and direct-prospecting geophysical methods and were aimed at studying the deep structure of the oceanic lithosphere along the route of the vessel, detecting possible accumulations of hydrocarbons and other minerals. Modified methods of frequency-resonance processing and decoding of satellite images and photographs, vertical electric-resonance sounding (scanning) of the cross-section, as well as the method of measuring the intensity of the natural electric field of the Earth with fluxmeters, were further tested on the vessel. In the southern Atlantic and in the region of the Antarctic Peninsula, a significant number of sites that are promising for hydrocarbon exploration have been found. New evidence has been obtained in favor of deep (mineral) synthesis of hydrocarbons: a) the discovery of deep channels of the of fluids and mineral matter migration; b) fixing of anomalous responses at the resonant frequencies of the hydrocarbons exclusively within the contours of the channels and in their surroundings; c) the fixation of anomalous responses at the resonant frequencies of oil gas and condensate in the channels to a depth of 57 km. Below this boundary, the responses at the resonance frequencies of hydrogen and carbon are fixed (this is not above this limit). The tested mobile technology of frequency-resonance processing of remote sensing data (satellite images) and photographs is recommended for use on the territory of Ukraine for the purpose of a preliminary assessment of the oil and gas potential of poorly studied and unexplored search blocks and local areas. The use of this technology can have a significant effect when searching for industrial accumulations of hydrocarbons in unconventional reservoirs (including the areas of shale spreading, coal-bearing formations, and crystalline rocks). Mobile technology can also be successfully used during studies of poorly studied areas and blocks within known oil and gas fields, as well as for the operative detection and mapping of large concentrations of hydrogen in areas of intensive hydrogen degassing.
