Biodentify has a patented method to help companies identify productive areas in advance so that the number of drillings can be significantly reduced.

Predicting 'sweet spots'
The development of good and constant production areas with oil or gas, from shale layers for instance, is a very expensive process. It requires the drilling of many wells, and consequent effects on the surrounding areas. The difficulty is to predict what locations are productive. Biodentify predicts where the sweet spots can be found on the basis of soil samples at a depth of 30 cm. This means fewer drillings and significant cost savings.

Up to 90% certainty
Biodentify has an extensive database containing information on the features of productive areas. By comparing the DNA information in the soil sample with past data collected in a database, an initial prediction is made with a level of accuracy of around 70% without the need for drilling. When more drillings are made in a specific area and these data added to the database, the prediction accuracy rises to some 90%.
