108 Oil Slicks Reported by Hyperdynamics' SCS Satellite Study; Study Confirms and Corroborates Working Petroleum System.HOUSTON -- Hyperdynamics Corporation's (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :HYPD) SCS Corporation has announced that Infoterra, the European satellite imaging company contracted to provide a "Global Seeps Study" over the SCS concession, has completed its work. The results showed that 108 oil slicks were identified over the offshore concession area. Each slick was identified using satellite imagery Satellite imagery consists of photographs of Earth or other planets made from artificial satellites. History The first satellite photographs of Earth were made August 14, 1959 by the US satellite Explorer 6. taken on different dates. Some of the images were recorded years apart. Every slick was identified by at least 2 satellite passes using multi-temperal ERA and Radarsat SAR (Segmentation And Reassembly) The protocol that converts data to cells for transmission over an ATM network. It is the lower part of the ATM Adaption Layer (AAL), which is responsible for the entire operation. See AAL. SAR - segmentation and reassembly (Synthetic Aperture Radar Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Radar, airborne or satellite-borne, that uses special signal processing to produce high-resolution images of the surface of the Earth (or another object) while traversing a considerable flight path. ) data. Infoterra was able to confirm that, of the 108 slicks, as many as 98 were of natural origin. SCS president Neil Moore said, "The satellite study is an integral part of the exploration process and is a proven method for the investigation of offshore oil seeps. The study plays an important part in exploration by helping to define a basin's prospectivity." Moore further stated, "Infoterra's study has provided additional corroborating evidence corroborating evidence n. evidence which strengthens, adds to, or confirms already existing evidence. of a working petroleum system within our concession."
