Remote sensing for petroleum exploration methods.

Remote sensing for petroleum exploration, Part 1: Overview of imaging systems

his paper, the first of two that summarize remote sensing as applied to petroleum exploration, provides an overview of the science and the computer techniques used to process the data. The second (to be published in TLE’s May issue) will describe successful oil-exploration projects that employed remote-sensing technology. The examples are from projects by colleagues and myself at Chevron, from ...

Remote Sensing Methods by Compressive Sensing

Compressive Sensing is a recently developed technique that exploits the sparsity of naturally occurring signals and images to solve inverse problems when the number of samples is less than the size of the original signal. We apply this technique to solve underdetermined inverse problems that commonly occur in remote sensing, including superresolution, image fusion and deconvolution. We use l 1-...

Statistical Methods in Remote Sensing

This presentation will discuss statistical methods for use in the analysis of remotely sensed data. Many of the methods represent enhancements of traditional means for processing remotely sensed data that have been developed by the CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences Remote Sesning and Monitoring Group (CMIS-RSM). The presentation will discuss statistical methods in the context of parti...

Quantifying Land Cover Change Due to Petroleum Exploration and Production in the Haynesville Shale Region Using Remote Sensing

The Haynesville Shale lies under areas of Louisiana and Texas and is one of the largest gas plays in the U.S. Encompassing approximately 2.9 million ha, this area has been subject to intensive exploration for oil and gas, while over 90% of it has traditionally been used for forestry and agriculture. In order to detect the landscape change in the past few decades, Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) im...
