The significance of surface geochemical anomalies in hydrocarbon exploration are often difficult to quantify. Potter et al.<ref name=ch18r29>Potter, R., W., IIHarrington, P., A., Silliman, A., H., Viellenave, J., H., 1996, Significance of geochemical anomalies in hydrocarbon exploration: one company's experience, in Schumacher, D., Abrams, M. A., eds., Hydrocarbon Migration and Its Near-Surface Expression: AAPG Memoir 66, p. 431–439.</ref> summarize one company's experience with a soil gas geochemical method. Their exploration program involved geochemical surveys of 139 prospects located in both mature basins and frontier basins, onshore and offshore, in a wide variety of environments. Targets ranged in depth from 1,000–15,000 ft (305–4,572 m) and covered the full spectrum of trap styles; survey areas ranged from as small as a few hundred acres to regional programs covering 1,000 mi² (2,590 km²).
