A GIS-Supported Remote Sensing Technology For Petroleum Exploration and Exploitation

Abstract This paper proposes a GIS-supported remote sensing (RS) technology for searching undiscovered oil and gas formations, and identifying potential petroleum exploration and exploitation targets. Remotely sensed surface lineament analysis, correlated with a variety of geoscience data, is applied for oil and gas exploration. A GIS technique is incorporated within the RS framework for manipulating the obtained data and …
