Airborne Hyperspectral and Magnetic Surveys

P225 AIRBORNE HYPERSPECTRAL AND MAGNETIC SURVEYS HONG YANG and SUSANNE WITTE Shell Technology EP Volmerlaan 8 Postbus 60 2280 AB Rijswijk The Netherlands 1 Abstract High resolution airborne surveys such as hyperspectral and aeromagnetics are cost effective techniques for rapid acreage screening. Hyperspectral data can be used to identify hydrocarbon seepages and surface mineralogy; high resolution airborne magnetic data can reveal intra-sedimentary faults and lateral rock property variations often invisible on seismic data. However current safety statistics show an unacceptable high fatality rate associated with this kind of data acquisition especially for low level flying. The Personal Exposure Rate of
