Abstract
Elemental techniques and its applicable conditions for hyperspectral data in petroleum exploration had summarized. When considering the applicability of hyperspectral data for oil exploration, the ability of mineral identification of hyperspectral data will be important. This paper reviews elemental techniques that enable minerals to indicate the elements of the petroleum systems such as source, reservoir and cap rock in addition to assess the degree of maturity and oil and gas seepages using hyperspectral data and proposes the methodology to conduct petroleum systems analysis based on the hyperspectral data.
