Abstract
The use of a simple X -band radar for the location of underground oil and natural gas deposits based on the seepage of gas into the atmosphere is discussed. The validity of the original explanation offered by others is questioned and it is suggested that the observed radar echoes may be due to the effect of turbulence induced in the atmosphere by the seeping gases
