VEXRAD · APPLICATIONS

Subsurface intelligence for decisions that matter.

Use Atomic Dielectric Resonance (ADR) to investigate the subsurface from the surface, focus uncertainty and make better-informed decisions before expensive drilling or intrusive investigation.

Choose your subsurface challenge.

VEXRAD applies the same evidence-led ADR platform across five core markets. The objective is not to replace drilling or established geoscience, but to help decide where to investigate, what to test and where additional evidence has the greatest value.

01 · MINERALS

Reduce uncertainty before the drill turns.

Interrogate prospective geology from surface, construct Virtual Boreholes and use the results alongside geology, geochemistry, remote sensing and conventional geophysics to rank and refine exploration targets.

  • Lithology and geological boundary interpretation
  • Structural and mineralisation-related anomaly investigation
  • Target ranking and drilling-risk reduction
  • Pre-drill Virtual Boreholes at selected targets
02 · GEOTHERMAL

See more before committing to the well.

Use surface-acquired ADR measurements to investigate lithology, boundaries, structures and reservoir-related indicators before high-cost geothermal drilling.

  • Pre-drill geological characterisation
  • Reservoir and structural targeting
  • Virtual Boreholes and cross-site comparison
  • Calibration against existing wells where available
03 · WATER

Investigate groundwater before drilling.

Use dielectric and conductivity-sensitive ADR responses to investigate groundwater-related intervals and build a subsurface interpretation before committing to boreholes.

  • Water-bearing interval investigation
  • Water-table and subsurface mapping
  • Virtual Boreholes from surface
  • Integration with hydrogeological evidence
04 · CARBON STORAGE / CCUS

Characterise the subsurface before injection.

Apply ADR as a complementary subsurface intelligence layer for storage-site characterisation, structural interpretation and repeat investigation around CO₂ storage projects.

  • Storage interval and overburden investigation
  • Fault and structural interpretation
  • Virtual Boreholes for site screening
  • Potential repeat-survey applications for monitoring studies
05 · ARCHAEOLOGY & CULTURAL HERITAGE

Investigate more. Disturb less.

Use non-invasive ADR scanning to investigate buried features and subsurface anomalies where excavation is costly, constrained or undesirable.

  • Buried feature and structure investigation
  • Depth-focused anomaly interpretation
  • Targeting before excavation
  • Evidence-led reporting with explicit uncertainty

One technology. Different subsurface decisions.

Subsurface characterisation remains a core VEXRAD capability — not a separate market. Across these applications, ADR is used to add another evidence layer to the geological decision. Interpretations should be calibrated and validated against independent ground truth wherever suitable data are available.

YOUR PROJECT

Have a subsurface decision to make?

Send VEXRAD one project, target or decision. We will review whether ADR appears technically relevant before recommending a larger programme.

“I was born on a croft in Shetland, and I’ve lived to see this technology used on every continent on Earth, including Antarctica. That still astonishes the island boy in me.” Dr G. Colin Stove, Inventor of ADR
