The methodology was applied in service stations because they are the main potential source of soil and ground water contamination by fuel in the cities. Basic concepts about oil and contamination and its interaction with the ground are presented, together with the basic principles that allow the understanding of the GPR method as applied to the addressed problem. During the work, the depth to the water table was measured to construct an underground flow map. The geophysical interpretation was assisted by the knowledge of the local underground water flow that gives indication on the direction of contamination movement. The correlation of the GPR data with the underground flow and the information about the stations history allowed to classify them as suspected of producing contamination and possibly contaminated.porAcesso AbertoRadar de penetração no soloContaminaçãoHidrocarbonetosAbaetetuba - PAPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::GEOCIENCIAS::GEOFISICA::GEOFISICA APLICADA
