“…These observations are supported by several studies which show that sulfate-reducing bacteria (e.g. Desulfovibrio desulfuricans) play an important role in metabolizing sulfate minerals and reducing iron, in oxygen free environments (Petrovic et al, 2008;Rijal et al, 2010;Mewafy et al, 2011). In one study, Porsch et al, (2010) suggest that magnetic susceptibility can be used as a tool to to study the microbial transformation of iron minerals.…”

“…ASTER data have been applied in oil exploration to search for hydrocarbon seepage induced alteration by Fu et al [158], Shi et al [159], Siydon et al [160], Pena and Abdelsalam [161], and Petrovic et al [162]. Generally, surface effects are reduction/oxidation reactions, and alteration to produce clay minerals.…”

The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer is one of five instruments operating on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Terra platform. Launched in 1999, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) has been acquiring optical data for 20 years. ASTER is a joint project between Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry; and U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Numerous reports of geologic mapping and mineral exploration applications of ASTER data attest to the unique capabilities of the instrument. Until 2000, Landsat was the instrument of choice to provide surface composition information. Its scanners had two broadband short wave infrared (SWIR) bands and a single thermal infrared band. A single SWIR band amalgamated all diagnostic absorption features in the 2–2.5 micron wavelength region into a single band, providing no information on mineral composition. Clays, carbonates, and sulfates could only be detected as a single group. The single thermal infrared (TIR) band provided no information on silicate composition (felsic vs. mafic igneous rocks; quartz content of sedimentary rocks). Since 2000, all of these mineralogical distinctions, and more, could be accomplished due to ASTER’s unique, high spatial resolution multispectral bands: six in the SWIR and five in the TIR. The data have sufficient information to provide good results using the simplest techniques, like band ratios, or more sophisticated analyses, like machine learning. A robust archive of images facilitated use of the data for global exploration and mapping.

“…The first three bands are at a spatial resolution of 15m and measures radiation from 0.52 to 0.86μm in VNIR; the next six bands measures radiation from 1.6 to 2.43μm at 30m spatial resolution in SWIR; the last five bands are thermal and measures radiation from 8.125-11.65μm at 90m spatial resolution [22]. ASTER data and other satellite remote sensing data have been successfully used for alteration mapping for minerals to aid in exploration by [23], [8], [24], [25], [26], [21].…”

The process of determining hydrocarbon potential areas for exploration requires numerous extensive studies of both surface and subsurface structures. Analysis and good understanding of these structures and surface expressions related to hydrocarbon formation provides a basis for identifying petroleum traps. The existence of favorable subsurface conditions for petroleum accumulation is always dependent on surface manifestation of petroleum traps. Identifying these areas prior to exploration allows for proper planning of seismic works so as to focus exploration and resources on relatively small areas. The main objective of this study was to locate and map petroleum potential areas in parts of Turkana by integrating spatial data derived from geology, gravity and remote sensing. Six predictor maps were developed including; alteration, lineament density, residual gravity anomaly, proximity to fault, lithology and regional gravity anomaly. The maps were analyzed using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model to generate petroleum potential map. The map was further classified to high, moderate and low potential zones. The final petroleum potential map was validated by 9 existing wells that were not used in training. The final map demarcated an area of 8,994.41 Km 2 equivalent to 55.9% of the total study area as high potential.
