Stress Field Detector

Stress Field Detector

The Stress Field Detector technology is an airborne remote-sensing device that measures the energy associated with the residual tectonic stress in subsurface structures [citation | last=Smith | first=Maurice | title=Showing the Way: New Large-Area Survey Technology Narrows the Search of Oil and Gas | journal=New Technology Magazine | year=2007 | date=April/May 2007] .

The rights to the technology are owned by a Calgary-based company Energy Exploration Technologies and it is currently being used in oil and natural gas exploration in Canada.
