This research adopts a model approach to oil exploration against conventional or traditional methods. The model used here is the Environmental Thermographic Model (ETM). Key parameters such as surface emissivity, surface temperature, long wave radiation and geological mapping which constitute the model were used alongside data generated from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) in order to identify the location of prospective oil or gas reservoir in Lagos-Southern Nigeria. MODIS data generated over a period of ten years was analyzed. The ETM model and a temperature polynomial expansion scheme (TPES) were used to validate the remote sensing data by using calculated surface emissivity and long wave technique. Two thermal infrared sources were deployed to aid oil field investigations. The consistency of the Landsat 8 OLI and ETM imagery further confirms the reliability of the method in determining the characteristics of the hydrocarbon habitat, as well as the lineaments. </p>}, number={39}, journal={GEOMATE Journal}, author={Moses E.
