Abstract


Hydrocarbon exploration is a systematic analytical procedure of various scientific surveys such as geological, geophysical, geochemical, etc. All these scientific methods investigate origin, occurrence, migration, and trap etc. Remote Sensing (RS) refers to the science of identification of earth surface features and estimation of their geo-biophysical properties using electromagnetic radiation as a medium of interaction. It helps in identification of geological and geomorphologic features of the surface which gives an idea to project our view towards the internal geological arrangement. Petroleum geologists worldwide have used orbital and airborne remotely sensed data for a number of applications.
