BGPh method by NPF LOZA LLC

     At present, the seismic survey method, aimed at finding positive structures, is the most generally recognized and reliable method for searching for oil fields. However, seismic exploration has one significant. drawback: in identified seismic structures, oil may not exist, and the seismic structures themselves may be false, caused by velocity anomalies in the overlying sediments. Therefore, recently there has been an increased interest in methods aimed at direct search for oil deposits. Such methods include the biogeophysical method (BGPh method).

Biogeophysical method, which in previous centuries was called “Divining rod method” was widely used in the Middle Ages, in particular, most of the ore deposits of gold, silver, copper, lead, antimony, iron, coal in Western Europe were discovered thanks to the application of this method (Maksimov, 1970, Sochevanov et al., 1987). In ancient times the BGPh method was called dowsing, this phenomenon was known more than 4000 years ago. It boils down to the fact that some people, when passing over aquiferous or ore zones, observe a deviation or rotation of a clamped woody branch in the hand.
