About Passive Seismic Technology Geodynamics Worldwide has developed a unique Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator. Acquisitions in the field and accurate modelling show that the fluid types contained in rock porosities can change the features of micro seismic waves crossing it. A signal recorded from the surface on top of uniformly rigid material will transduce microseismic waves in a very different way, compared with of a rock volume pressurized by fluids like oil or gas. The technology has been applied in 100+ projects with impressive drilling results and benefits in reducing exploration risk. 9
