Abstract
Application of Thermography to Karst Hydrogeology and Natural Gas Exploration and Development
Abstract
Heat signatures and temperature contrasts can be detected using a technique known as infrared thermography or thermal imaging. This method was applied to Oklahoma carbonate and shale outcrops to detect heat signatures from karst features and fractures. Two locations are included in this study. The carbonate location is Turner Falls in the Arbuckle Mountains. The shale location is Wyche shale quarry. In both places, infrared thermograms (images) of cavities and fractures were correlated with known features on outcrop. This technique holds a promising application for aerial detection of new caves and fracture characterization for hydrocarbon exploration.
