Description

Founded in 1984 to solve spectral imaging problems of national interest, AAI relocated its headquarters to Westford, MA in 2008. Since its inception, AAI has been focused on developing approaches and technologies for extracting more detailed and quantitative information from overhead spectral imagery, and using those innovations to provide customers with truly useful, quantitatively defensible answers to real-world problems.

AAI's Remote Prospector™ line of map products represents a major breakthrough in onshore oil and gas exploration. Advanced image processing technologies are capable of "seeing" certain specific ground materials in earth satellite imagery that have traditionally served as surface geochemical indicators of sub-surface hydrocarbon reservoirs. Previously these were typically only detectable in samples collected during costly field visits, but now they can be found without ever having to visit the site.

For nearly 30 years, AAI has been focused on developing new approaches and technologies for retrieving more detailed and quantitatively defensible information from spectral imagery, and doing it automatically. The technologies were developed as part of an ongoing R&D program to meet our customers' requirements for increasingly automated, detailed and quantitatively defensible information products from spectral imagery.

Use of the clusters of detected geochemical indicators to delineate hydrocarbon reservoirs must be done with caution. This is especially true when the geology is complex. The migration pathways are often generally vertical, but sometimes they can occur along dipping lateral carrier beds or barrier interfaces, such as a salt dome, cross-cutting bed, or similar formation.
