The document discusses using NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) technology for hydrocarbon exploration. Specifically:
1. NMR can identify hydrocarbon deposits like oil and gas to depths of up to 5 km without drilling or interpretation, unlike traditional NMR well logging which only reaches 200m.
2. NMR works by emitting a directional signal tuned to the resonance frequency of the desired substance (e.g. oil, gas) and detecting the re-emitted signal on the surface.
3. NMR surveys can identify and delineate deposits over tens of thousands of square km with over 90% accuracy, significantly exceeding the capabilities of modern seismography. This allows reducing exploration costs.
