[China Instrument Network Instrument Development] Neos Inc. will develop a new generation of gravity gradient measurement sensor, which will have 20 times the current technology for discovering underground oil and gas and minerals.
Neos and Lockheed Martin are working together to create a unique sensor. Using extremely advanced technology, the sensor can find a 10-meter-high hill buried under the ground. In other words, the technology only needs to detect the effect of the gold bar passing through the local gravity site, and it can find armored trucks filled with gold 20 meters underground.
The new technology is called Full Tensor Gradiometry Plus (FTG Plus) and its sensitivity and bandwidth are 20 and 10 times that of current gravity gradiometers.
Jonathan Faiman, Neos Inc.’s chairman, said: “FTG Plus enhances our ability to detect underground resources and map resource locations. Remote sensing will become a major technology in the exploration market. Neos will have the most advanced in the world. The sensor will enable us to draw a clearer map of resource locations for our customers at a faster rate and at a lower cost.â€
Lockheed Martin is building a model designed to detect natural resources from planes owned and operated by Neos.
Neos announced on April 29, 2016 the acquisition of assets of CGG SA, including the FTG Plus project.
Gregory Paleolog, who heads the Neos FTG Plus project, said: “We have made significant progress in this area. One of the reasons is that we and our competitors used to adapt to geophysical measurements in the past. The military equipment, FTG Plus, is a sensor specially built by Lockheed Martin for the first time to meet our precise use and needs.This is a fundamental change. For us, this is a new design. And we have exclusive rights to use it."
Neos has exclusive rights to this technology in oil and gas and mineral related applications. The company will use the FTG Plus in a Basler BT-67 twin-engine aircraft, a Cessna C-208B Caravan single-turbo engine or a Reims-Cessna F406 twin-turbo engine. . These sensors will also be used in helicopters.
This technology has the potential to change the way government, the energy sector, and the exploration team discover valuable resources, ultimately helping to make faster and more informed decisions about locating, renting, and drilling areas.
Paleolog said: "In this era of so many offshore seismic equipment being deactivated, we will be able to use non-seismic technology with this new sensor, which is 20 times more powerful than all other sensors we have seen before. It means that we can achieve the highest level ever in the number, speed and accuracy of resource discovery. It will become a transformative product.â€
