Airborne Laser Fluorescence (ALF) Page Oil seeps indicate basins with oil exploration potential and have led to the discovery of some of the world’s largest oil fields. Airborne laser fluorescence (ALF) and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) surveys are modern methods of identifying present day offshore seepage and are used by many companies to high grade areas for exploration and, in some cases, locate exploration targets. This page lists ALF related resources on the Internet.

Seep Articles:
" A look at the exploration history of the important oil areas of the world proves conclusively that oil and gas seeps gave the first clues to most oil producing regions. Many great oil fields are the direct result of seepage drilling." Link, 1952. "We usually find oil in new places with old ideas. Sometimes, also, we find oil in an old place with a new idea, but we seldom find much oil in an old place with an old idea." Parke Dickey, 1958.
