Page 345 - Engineers, 1981, p. 305-311. refs The application of remote sensing using landsat imagery to petroleum exploration is discussed. It is shown that Landsat imagery can be used effectively to outline sedimentary terrains and to determine the areal distribution of key strata and their relation to regional structure. In addition, it is proposed that the US government undertake a program to develop improved petroleum exploration techniques that are beyond the scope of industry, while also obtaining global...

Page 347 - ... when subsurface well-bore data are available. Yet, evidence is now becoming increasingly accessible from practicing explorationists that many of these linear trends in basin areas can be interpreted as bounding structural blocks in the basement. The geometry and even slight displacement of basement blocks often affects basement sedimentation patterns which, in turn, may influence the accumulation of hydrocarbons. Many petroleum geologists are now using Landsat data operationally to target petroleum...
Page 1 - remote sensing" is gradually becoming a part of our everyday vocabulary although it is not yet exactly a household phrase. Remote sensing as an art in science has been around for a long time; first and foremost in the form of man's eyes. Even though we are very far from duplicating with instruments and systems the capabilities of those eyes and their unbelievably sophisticated data processing systems in the brain, we have learned over the past decade in near-earth space to vastly extend their reach....
