ABSTRACT

Satellite radar can now offer the oil industry an effective, low-cost technique for Previous HitreducingNext Hit source Previous HitriskNext Hit in high-cost Previous HitexplorationTop environments such as the ultradeep frontier basins of the South Atlantic margin. This is because of the ability to image surface oil seeps that originate by slow leakage from oil- and gas-filled traps. Multitemporal satellite data over such seeps provide the locations for follow-up surface sampling from which key geochemical information on the reservoired oil can be obtained ahead of the drill.
