Radar is used to detect and map near-surface geochemical alteration of rock and soil. The radar waves penetrate a buildup of carbonate and silica on the earth surface above micro-seepage of hydrocarbons dissolved in water. The hydrocarbon source may be an oil or gas reservoir buried many thousands of feet, or it may be from near-surface, man-made features. The thickness and sensitivity of the buildup is related to the size of the underground source or reservoir. Radar echoes from the bottom of the buildup provide a reservoir detection and mapping tool.
