It takes years of training, field experience, plus a healthy dose of "feeling" to find the right place to drill a well, and sometimes that hunch, that thing that the geology subtly suggested but we couldn't consciously define, proves right and then the oil comes. But year after year is getting harder to find new reservoirs and the current ones have only so much left. The current methods of prospecting through suitable geologic formations and probing them with seismic are reaching a limit and new alternative methods can relieve the solo reliance on them and expedite projects ). Although shifting to a greener economy and society, the oil will still play a role, we might not burn it anymore in the future, but cer tainly will still use it in the industry for plastics, lubricants, materials, of course, better materials, more ecological materials, but still derived from oil. A proposed solution, often overlooked is to see where only mostly look, use remote sensing to aid oil exploration projects. To properly use this technique we must take into consideration an event occurring in oil fields, its leakage to the sur face (Fig. ). In the pages of history, the man star ted to notice places where oil flew to the sur face, into tar pits, or so-called eternal flames, where gases burnt without extinguishing, those same phenomena guided Edwin Drake in the 19th century to drill his famous oil well in Titusville, Pennsylvania (ETIOPE, 2015b). This same direct indicator of oil was used time and again but faded from use as the "easy to locate" seeps were already studied and explored (Fig. ). Still, room for development was available.
