Abstract
Aerial gamma-ray spectrometry is used herein as an indirect technique for petroleum prospecting in the Syrian desert (Area-1). The focus is on detecting micro-seepage hydrocarbon traps using the thorium Th normalization technique. Five radiometric selected profiles show low residual potassium values termed as KD (%), and high uranium residual values in relation to potassium, termed as DRAD (%) indicating potential micro-seepage occurrences. The research identifies five probable hydrocarbon zones (Pr-1–Pr-5). This indirect approach, aimed at locating stratigraphic and structural traps for hydrocarbons, offers valuable insights for petroleum exploration in the region.
