Techniques employed in oil and gas exploration and the utility of satellite data to the exploration process are discussed. The application of satellite information to geologic analysis, planimetric mapping and other data collection efforts associated with the search for oil and gas are considered. Geographic information and image processing features that were utilized in three projects are outlined and the potential of data sources such as LANDSAT-D is assessed. Experience shows that satellite imagery is of greatest benefit when it is integrated into a comprehensive data base with conventional data.
