Will the Next Giant Oil Discovery Come from the Sky?
http://news.yahoo.com/next-giant-oil-discovery-come-140600482.htmlThere’s a good chance that the world’s next giant oil or gas discovery will be identified from the sky, and not from the end of a drill bit. Majors are beginning to harness a new pre-seismic detection technology to spot reservoirs before a single boot touches the ground.
Able to cover gigantic sections of land at a fraction of the cost of seismic, this new technology is capable of spotting the biggest pools in the world.

“There are elephants out there, and they’re easy to find,” says George Liszicasz, President and CEO of NXT Energy Solutions [SFD.V, NSFDF.OTC]. Liszicasz’s team has developed a technology called Stress Field Detection (‘SFD’), which can remotely identify trapped fluid bodies (reservoir prospects) from 3,000 metres in the air.
Oh, hooray. More accessible carbon to burn is exactly what we need
