ABSTRACT

This paper illustrates the use of an integrated analysis of HRAM data and RADARSAT-1 images for detection and analysis of geologic structures in mature and frontier basins. The HRAM images provide detailed information on basement structures, weakly magnetic faults, and fracture systems in the sedimentary section, and other features that contain magnetic material anomalous to the surrounding rock units. The RADARSAT-1 images are used to constrain the analysis of the HRAM data, as well as to expand the interpretation into areas that are not covered by the HRAM surveys. A series of examples supported by surface and subsurface controls has been used here to illustrate our integrated approach to the analysis of these two reconnaissance exploration tools.
