In this study we present the fundamental notions of the so called Multi-temporal Interferometric techniques (MT-DInSAR) used for spatial and temporal characterization of crustal deformation. They are broadly used in relation with active volcanism, active tectonics, earthquakes, landslides, glacier motion, etc. Oil industry is interested in characterizing crustal deformation in oilfields, because it can cause economic loss and environmental threats. Furthermore, monitoring crustal deformation associated with exploitation operations could help in understanding flux patterns within the reservoir. Main  input  for  applying  the  described  techniques  are  Synthetic  Aperture  Radar  scenes.  We analyze images availability over Argentinean sedimentary basins in a time span between 1990 and nowadays. As a study case we present deformation time series computed over the Piedra Clavada and Cañadón de la Escondida Oilfields, in the Golfo San Jorge Basin.
