Soil and gas analysis methods are based on the determination of the content of methane and heavier paraffin hydrocarbons of the soil near the surface, and they have indicated some oil fields by a "halo" surrounding the producing areas. Radioactivity surveys show the similar effects, but their main application is in locating radioactive materials and in tracing fault lines. 4, record 1, English, - radiometric%20method

Méthode qui, par la mesure du rayonnement gamma au-dessus des affleurements, permet d'obtenir des informations sur la géologie ou sur la présence de minerais radioactifs.

Radiométrie : la mesure des propriétés électriques ou radioactives du sol pour la prospection pétrolière est une méthode plus récente. La présence d'hydrocarbures dans une roche réservoir se traduit par des anomalies de radioactivité que l'on décèle en surface au compteur Geiger-Müller : en mesurant suivant le quadrillage habituel l'intensité du rayonnement gamma, on arrive à dresser une carte des zones où les radiations sont soit supérieures, soit inférieures à la normale, ce qui se traduit par un «halo» entourant et délimitant chaque point singulier géologique. 2, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20radiom%C3%A9trique
