World Class Engineering
  • 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 WorksRedox potential
  • The Ionosphere has a positive chargethe earth
    has a negative charge.
  • The electrical- potential is greater than 500,000
    volts between the Earths 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.

Where It WorksAnywhere a plane can fly
  • Sky Hunters technology works off shore, on shore
    and over transition zones regardless of ice,
    rock, vegetation or water
  • Sky Hunters 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
Sky Hunters proprietary hydrocarbon-ion
collection system is mounted on the nose of a
twin-engine aircraft. It allows gt99 of the air
to flow through while concentrating the
hydrocarbon ion sample
6
How it Workspatented technology
Sample collection scoop directs the concentrated
hydrocarbon ions to three on-board 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
    lt 40 meters along each line.
  • Over 120,000 kms have been logged on shore and
    off shore.

2013 Q3 OIL SANDS SURVEY
  • 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 Hunters resultsAmazing
  • 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,
    Matched to SAGD well locations.
  • remaining oil and depleted zones.
    Note the wells on the right have

  • been depleted
