Description
Satellite and aerial remote sensing involve capturing high-resolution images using multispectral, hyperspectral, and radar sensors mounted on satellites, drones, or aircraft. These sensors detect surface features such as faults, fractures, and oil seeps that indicate underlying petroleum systems. Thermal infrared imaging helps identify hydrocarbon microseepages, while synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is used for structural mapping and offshore oil spill detection. Remote sensing is particularly valuable in inaccessible areas such as dense forests, deserts, and offshore regions. It aids in reducing exploration costs by providing preliminary geological insights before seismic surveys and drilling. Modern advancements include AI-powered image analysis, machine learning algorithms, and real-time satellite monitoring, enhancing the accuracy of hydrocarbon exploration and environmental risk assessment.
