Remote Sensing for Hydrocarbon Exploration

In this section we combine the knowledge of the information remote sensing data provide and integrate different remote sensing products into geologic models of the surface and subsurface to assist all phases of the hydrocarbon exploration. We follow the exploration and production workflow and study solutions that are tailored for individual steps. We start with the aspects of frontier exploration generating regional and basin models and complement these with petroleum system models. The integration of surface and subsurface data shows the impact remote sensing has on subsurface interpretation and modeling even when the raw remote sensing data do not penetrate the earth surface to considerable depth.
