Netherlands-based Biodentify uses new DNA analytical methods and advanced machine-learning algorithms to identify potential hydrocarbon reservoirs. The science is used to predict oil and gas deposits based on microbiome reactions to micro-seepages of gas molecules. “What we’re trying to do is to hel....
