Remote sensing technologies are used in the oil and gas industry to aid in hydrocarbon exploration. Different types of satellite remote sensing provide varying spatial resolutions and are used at different scales. Optical data from satellites including WorldView-2 and IKONOS have very high resolution under 2m, while SPOT-5 has medium resolution of 5-10m. Radar data from satellites such as RADARSAT-1 and TerraSAR-X also provide imagery at different resolutions. Remote sensing, along with other data like seismic and well logs, allows geologists to study surface and subsurface features and structures to locate areas to drill exploratory wells for oil and gas deposits. Geographic information systems are also used to integrate and analyze remote sensing
