The more I read my own hubs the more hopeless they seem to be, I am not that keyword savvy, so think I'm lacking in that area. I hope you can provide me with some constructive criticism.
thanks

I've read the one about oil exploration. It is well-written and interesting, an important topic. It is rather short.
You need to clean up the layout. Some lines seem to have been pasted in, so they do not align continuously. You should either get them joined with the preceeding line or break them into a new paragraph.
The hub would benefit tremendously from one or two images; search Wikimedia Commons and similar sites for free images. Remember to give accreditation.
You should also be able to find a relevant YouTube video, which you can embed via the video capsules.
The hub could also be improved with a few relevant links, which can make it more useful to visitors.
Thanks for your advice
Though I don't claim to be a writer, hubpages is a great opportunity to publish life experiences, and ones own knowledge gathered over the years.
A couple recommendations
1) Need a better title: Gravitational Mapping for Oil: not Star Trek, but here on Earth and now
2) There are a few sections that need their linefeed fixed
3) Need a little more details on gravitational mapping. What sort of satellites?

I've been looking at the Latest Hubbers and doing a lot of HubHopping lately and noticed a pattern. Based upon some of what I have seen I am making some suggestions. I'm sure HubPages staff and moderators see all sorts of patterns to spam and poorer quality Hubs.Here's some suggestions...
