Geoelectrochemical prospecting

These features of the jet halo enhance the prospecting depth of the geoelectrochemical methods. A number of field experiments have verified that the prospecting depth for an ore body attains some hundred metres and for oil and gas reservoirs several kilometres. Similar results have been obtained with data for relatively-confined forms of metals, although the widths of halos are greater than those for mobile and weakly-confined forms of metals.
