Flokkulacja jako geochemiczny wskaźnik roponośności

Abstract

FLOCCULATION AS GEOCHEMICAL INDEX OF OIL CONTENTS

Summary

The author stresses a direct connection existing between the flocculation degree of mineral particles and the concentration of the gaseous hydrocarbons that not always are connected with oils. According to the author a possibility exists to detect, on an industrial scale, the anomalies of surface flocculation by means of aerometric analysis. Geological information being a result of use of flocculation method in search for oil and gas deposits would concern both deposit and dislocation zones there. In addition, a possibility also exists of applying this method in coal industry, mainly as an auxiliary factor in determining the so-called methane prognoses, and in investigation of dislocation zones. However, flocculation surveys, similarly as other geochemical measurements, require certain structural corrections that take into account a deviation of trend of hydrocarbon migration from perpendicular.
