Abstract

The dramatic decrease in oil and gas exploration in the United States since 1986 has renewed the interest of small independent operators in less costly, unconventional techniques. Among these are near‐surface soil gas analysis, radiometric investigations, and magnetometry surveys of shallow Precambrian topography. The purpose of this article is to review the results of original research that I conducted in these areas in the period 1962–80 and to assess the possible value of these methods in modern exploration.
