Land subsidence due to slow compaction sediments is one of the most dangerous cases in nature. Human activities such as removal of hydrocarbons are one of the environmental issues. While traditional mapping can determine the rate of subsidence factors in depression but according to the criteria and the cost of this type of mapping it always need to use modern techniques. Nowadays, one of the most advanced methods to obtain the reservoir subsidence in centimeter accurately is INSAR(Interferometry synthetic aperture radar)  .The main purpose of this research is estimating and studying about one of oil fields, that the rate of subsidence is significant in it and in addition the main reasons of it has been studied. The results are consistent so much with the observed changes of field production data. The results show that the INSAR method can be used so extensively in industrial and research projects. We think the results of study the subsidence effect   will be useful to detection of chemical properties variations the oil resources such as concentration, viscosity and other chemical properties.
