SOCAR Launches First Onshore Airborne Gravity Research
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 1. The State Oil
Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) has initiated its first
onshore airborne gravity research project in collaboration with the
renowned UK-based company Metatek, Trend reports via the company.
“This cutting-edge study aims to collect highly accurate
geological data across vast areas in a short period,” said the
company.
Reportedly, as part of the project, the latest Enhanced Full
Tensor Gravity Gradiometry (eFTG) technology developed by the
globally recognized Lockheed Martin will be deployed. In addition
to airborne gravity surveys, magnetic measurements and LiDAR (Light
Detection and Ranging) technology will be used to create detailed
3D models of the terrain.
The results of this research are expected to provide valuable
insights into Azerbaijan's subsurface rock formations and
geological structures, supporting more efficient exploration and
resource management across the country.
SOCAR operates in diverse sectors, encompassing oil and gas
field exploration, oil, gas, and gas condensate extraction,
processing, and transportation, alongside the distribution of oil
and petrochemical products in both domestic and international
markets.
