"The exploration of oil and natural gas in Brazil, with an average productionof 3.021 million barrels per day, has benefited from innovative geochemicalprospecting methods that complement traditional techniques. This article maps theseinnovations based on a detailed search in the INPI, ESPACENET, USPTO, SCIELO,CAPES Journal Portal, WIPO, Google Patents, and Derwent Innovation databases,using specific keywords related to geochemical methods and hydrocarbon exploration.The results were filtered to include only those applicable to the hydrocarbon industry.Key innovations highlighted include the gas probe with pre-purge, the adaptable devicefor use under concrete slabs, the contamination-free extraction technique, and thedetection of leaks at different depths. These technologies enhance the accuracy andefficiency in the collection and analysis of soil gases, significantly contributing to theevolution of hydrocarbon prospecting techniques, reducing risks, and improving theidentification of underground deposits."
