Role of Earth Observations Data in Petroleum and Natural Gas Studies by K Vinod Kumar and PVN Rao* in PPS
Earth observation especially remote sensing and communication plays an important role in the petroleum industry. The following are the major areas where it has its applicability
i. Reconnaissance geologic and geophysical surveys/ studies (including gravity-magnetic data)
ii. Satellite communications and data transfer: this includes data transfer from offshore platforms, drilling rigs etc, onshore control centres for offshore activities, monitoring real time drilling operations and virtual reality centres to receive and visualise data.
iii. General positioning and navigation applications, including staking of well locations prior to drilling and planning seismic surveys using Differential GPS data.
iv. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Natural Hazard studies
v. Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) for topographic analysis based on various types of remote sensing data
vi. Surveillance data of offshore installations from Vessel and Air Traffic Monitoring System (VATMS), CCTV, etc.
