HYDROCARBON MICRO SEEP DETECTION

World Class Engineering
2
Sky Hunter has invested millions of dollars over 13 years developing this
cutting-edge technology; with engineering by McDonald Dettwiler and
Associates (MDA)- creators of the CanadArm (on The Internatioal Space
Station) and RadarSat satellite constellation.
Patented by Sky Hunter Corp (additional patents pending).
Why It Works…Redox potential
3
The Ionosphere has a positive
charge…the earth has a
negative “charge”.
The electrical- potential is
greater than 500,000 volts
between the Earth’s surface
and the ionosphere.
Micro seeps (ionic emissions) do
not follow faults in the earth.
Negatively charged
hydrocarbon ions are pulled
vertically from oil/gas
reservoirs to the atmosphere.
OUR SYSTEM: SAMPLE LINE
Where It Works…Anywhere a plane can fly
4
Sky Hunter’s technology works off
shore, on shore and over
transition zones regardless of ice,
rock, vegetation or water
Sky Hunter’s system works in all
seasons, where ever it is safe to
fly (except in electrical storms or
rain)
Samples are being emitted from
the earth continuously, a
collection scoop is mounted on
the nose of the airplane
Ion Collection Scoop
5
Sky Hunter’s proprietary hydrocarbon-ion collection system is mounted on the nose
of a twin-engine aircraft. It allows >99% of the air to flow through while concentrating
the hydrocarbon ion sample
How it Works…patented technology
6
Sample collection scoop directs the
concentrated hydrocarbon ions to three onboard sensors. The system is proven to be
highly sensitive, repeatable, robust and
accurate.
Hydrocarbon-ion sensors engineered by
MDA are designed to produce three data
sets: oil, NGLs and methane.
Surveys have been flown at 50 meters
line spacing up to 500 meters between
lines. Data is collected twice per
second, data points are GPS
referenced < 40 meters along each
line.
Over 120,000 kms have been logged
on shore and off shore.
Three Detectors…three maps per survey

2013 Q3 OIL SANDS SURVEY
8
Sky Hunter flew JIP oil sands surveys for Devon, Cenovus, Suncor and Husky to
validate the sensitivity of the system.
The most common oil sands extraction system is Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage
(SAGD). Many pairs of horizontal wells are drilled into the pay zone.
The survey (shown on the next slide) detected these SAGD wells….

Sky Hunter’s results…Amazing

Two JIP partners have committed to another survey. A visualization/data
integration project is under development for the other two partners.
Sky Hunter detected the SAGD wells,
