Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic — The Dominican Republic has reached a historic milestone with BSD Global Exploration’s groundbreaking discovery of the country’s first major hydrocarbon deposits. Identified using BSD’s proprietary remote scan technology in combination with advanced 3D seismic analysis, these deposits are considered significant in both size and quantity.
BSD’s cutting-edge technology can remotely detect natural resources up to 8,000 meters (26,000 feet) beneath the surface — whether on land or underwater — redefining how the world searches for hydrocarbons.
Although drilling operations have not yet begun, Dr. Paul McColgan, a veteran geophysicist with over 25 years of industry experience, stated,
“This is one of the best targets I have seen in my entire career in the hydrocarbon sector.”
Massive Reserve Potential
According to processed seismic data, the newly identified deposits are estimated to contain hundreds of millions of barrels and BTUs of hydrocarbons. BSD has also detected strong hydrocarbon signatures beneath what was once thought to be a crystalline basement unconformity.
Further image enhancement revealed evidence of a much larger structural formation beneath an angular unconformity composed of steeply dipping beds — a geological feature that could significantly expand the region’s reserve potential as imaging and analysis continue to improve.
A Technological Breakthrough in Resource Detection
BSD’s proprietary detection system represents a revolutionary advancement in geophysical exploration. The technology is capable of detecting any element on the Periodic Table, including drinking water, hydrocarbons, gold, lithium, and rare earth materials, at remarkable depths.
Once a target area is identified, BSD transmits a signal into the Earth. The company’s proprietary algorithms then analyze the returning signal to determine the presence, depth, and composition of the targeted element with extraordinary precision.
Proven Accuracy: A Historic Discovery of National Importance
BSD’s technology first gained international attention in July 2021, when the Dominican Republic’s government science team, led by Mrs. Lidia Martínez de Macarrulla, sought the company’s assistance in locating the long-lost remains of Enriquillo, a revered national hero who died in 1533.
Given an estimated 50-square-kilometer search area, BSD’s system pinpointed the exact location, enabling archaeologists to recover Enriquillo’s remains — along with those of his wife — after 500 years of uncertainty. The discovery was celebrated as a moment of profound cultural and historical significance for the Dominican people.



A Visionary Team Changing the World’s Search for Resources
BSD’s executive team — Sami Benhamou, Isaac Salama, and Patrick Preece — expressed gratitude and optimism for what this breakthrough represents for both science and humanity:
“With God’s help, BSD has developed a technology that has changed the world’s search for hydrocarbon deposits specifically — and natural resources in general.”
Looking Ahead
BSD has confirmed natural deposits of gold, lithium, and hydrocarbons across multiple countries and is currently working with local authorities and partners to secure exploration, drilling, and extraction permissions for the identified sites.
This discovery in the Dominican Republic marks not only a potential economic and energy transformation for the nation but also a technological leap forward for global resource exploration.
