CHAD Data Ltd

President Andreas Cordsen

CHAD Data Ltd. is a Canadian company holding all ownership and trading rights to extensive geophysical potential field databases in Western and Northern Canada. CHAD’s geophysical databases consist of high-resolution aeromagnetic (HRAM) data and gravity data. CHAD licenses this data to companies exploring for oil and gas, deep geothermal energy, mineral, and other resources in Western and Northern Canada.

CHAD’s HRAM databases consist of approximately 637,600 km of data covering large parts of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin in Alberta and British Columbia, as well as most of the Canadian part of the Williston Basin in Southeast Saskatchewan. Our HRAM data were all acquired with GPS technology and tight flight and tie line spacings suitable for most intrasedimentary exploration targets, as well as some intrabasement features. The HRAM data have been culturally edited to remove all identifiable manufactured magnetic artifacts and noise. The data quality is generally excellent, having been subject to rigorous in-field quality control during acquisition, and is as good as one might acquire today at higher costs—perhaps even better in areas where there has been extensive development (creating new sources of magnetic noise) in the last decade or more.
