Abstract:
The never ending thirst for energy resources in the world has triggered new
challenges for the oil industry; It is the need of the hour to make exploration efficient
accurate and more cost effective to meet the energy needs. In order to achieve this cause
new tools and techniques must be incorporated with the conventional hydrocarbon
exploration techniques. Geographical information systems and remote sensing can be one
such technique which holds great potential. Various researches have been carried out
around the world in which Gis and RS has been integrated with seismic exploration
techniques to improve the accuracy and cost effectiveness of oil exploration projects.
This Research focuses on the same area in which seismic exploration has been integrated
with GIS and RS for hydrocarbon Exploration. The development of such a geo-database
will enable the professionals to study the data with ease as it is available in one
comprehensive database, It will render the planning and development more effective due
to efficient analysis and strategizing, The biggest advantage being the integration of all
geophysical, geographical, surface and subsurface datasets , Which can greatly improve
the exploration accuracy and also make it very cost efficient.
