Abstract
Offshore hydrocarbon reservoirs can experience oil and gas seepage through the seafloor and water column, resulting in tell-tale slicks on the sea surface. Detecting and identifying these intermittent and often remote slicks can contribute to directing exploration resources in both producing and frontier basins. Remote sensing, the acquisition of image data from sensors mounted on airborne or spaceborne platforms, is seen as a potential tool for detecting, mapping and identifying these seepage-derived slicks. Simply put, it offers a cost-effective means of scanning extensive and/or remote regions, on an ongoing basis.
