»Oil & Gas

In today’s hydrocarbon market, earth imagery significantly
ξ lowers operating costs,
ξ facilitates sound decision making and
ξ contributes to responsible development of this important resource through all of the phases of finding, producing and distributing it.

The Oil and Gas Industry
ξ has used imagery and remote sensing to coarsely map areas for decades,
ξ but advances in digital technology and remote sensing applications since then
ξ has multiplied the value and variety of uses for imagery throughout the oilfield lifespan.
ξ Today, your imagery dollar investment results in 10 to 1,000 times greater savings in
ξ planning, executing and monitoring exploration and production throughout the oil/gas field cycle.

Exploring the world for new sources
ξ Imagery is vital to exploration, geophysical surveying and in determining suitable drill sites based on surface conditions.
ξ A high resolution image acquired prior to exploration and drilling activity serves as a baseline for other activities including
ξ site modeling,
ξ facilities monitoring,
ξ environmental assessments and
ξ vegetation reclamation.
ξ Analyzing high resolution imagery before seismic surveying helps oil and gas companies
ξ build accurate surface models and avoid poorly suited areas.
ξ Spectral bandwidth available from satellite imagery allows surface characterization and identification of surface obstacles

Facilities and asset management
ξ When the detailed phase of exploration is underway,
ξ high resolution imagery is essential for aiding in decisions regarding survey access and design of well pads and roads.
ξ The need for more detailed, higher resolution imagery becomes apparent
ξ as oil companies progress to well planning, pipeline planning and siting, environmental impact analysis and refinery design.
ξ For these tasks, satellite image resolution of 60 cm and aerial image resolution as fine as 3 in is ideal for informed analysis

Reaching wider geographies
ξ Oil and gas companies face new challenges as well:
ξ how to explore cost effectively in remote regions
ξ especially those in developing nations with limited mapping data and infrastructure and
ξ how to optimize existing production in already discovered oil and gas fields.
ξ satellite imagery, with its uniform quality and standard product suite available everywhere,
ξ is the ideal choice for remote and international targets and in expanding multi-well pad designs

Environment protection
ξ petroleum companies are monitoring their environmental impact much more rigorously now, both in North America and around the world.
ξ multispectral imagery is essential for mapping land use and environmental impact.
ξ periodic resurveying of oil fields, pipeline corridors and refineries is an efficient and accurate method
ξ for ensuring that environmental impact is limited to an absolute minimum
ξ by measuring the length and width of the right of way through which seismic lines have been acquired,
ξ oil companies can document their impact on the local forests and vegetation
ξ Multi-date imagery is critical too when you need it because the information is time stamped documentation of land status on a fixed date.
ξ Strategic use of periodically acquired imagery from orbiting satellites and
ξ low flying aircraft enhances technical analysis and the bottom line for all professionals involved in oilfield and regulatory operations.
ξ imagery assures alignment between GIS data and ground truth and provides a strong foundation for sound decision making
ξ throughout the oil and gas lifecycle

Defense Mapping
ξ most security organizations depend heavily on up to date maps to support operational and training requirements
ξ satellites were specifically designed for collection to support mapping programs and
ξ provide data that is both spatially and spectrally accurate
ξ use data to produce traditional hard copy mapping products from 1:50,000 up to 1:10,000 scales,
ξ large scale maps suitable for supporting defense operations and very detailed site diagrams.

3D modeling
ξ you can also assimilate imagery in softcopy formats for image maps or three dimensional (3D) renderings,
ξ such as perspective diagrams or interactive fly throughs, which are particularly useful in mission planning and rehearsal
ξ featured is a 3D imagery product, using QuickBird imagery, prepared by Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC)

Strategic industries
ξ DigitalGlobe imagery supports identification of key strategic industries such as energy, extraction and manufacturing facilities.
ξ With it, you can analyze each of these facilities in great detail,
ξ identifying what is being produced and the capacity for production and inventory at the facility.
ξ For example, individual power lines are visible, transformers can be counted and pipelines measured
ξ – all this data supports your assessments of the power plant’s potential capacity.
ξ Moreover, multispectral imagery provides critical information on various types of raw material used in a manufacturing process,
ξ as well as potential environmental impacts

Location information & Capacity planning
ξ imagery integrates easily into GIS to enhance understanding of the demographic changes and
ξ location based information required to insure that current capacity matches to the growth or decline of a service region
ξ high resolution satellite imagery helps planners create up to date maps with city boundaries, roads, urban streets, population and other attributes
ξ that can help identify planning goals

Right of way governance
ξ Imagery helps telecommunications companies optimally manage land ownership rights in relation to right of ways,
ξ monitor encroachment on these lands and practice efficient vegetation management by assessing
ξ where vegetation is too close to transmission and distribution lines
ξ Satellite and aerial imagery have also served as a record of accuracy in lawsuit disputes

Network monitoring
ξ Earth imagery is an integral analysis tool to understand network performance without the high cost of onsite investigation.
ξ DigitalGlobe imagery has assisted telecoms to understand network quality,
ξ such as high drop call rates, network congestion and availability across wide geographic regions.
ξ Field technicians reduce time spent locating broken equipment with accurate site locations and
ξ references achieved with current high resolution imagery, and they restore the network outages quicker

Facility and asset management
ξ Telecommunication companies can better protect their investments with accurate base maps of ground assets.
ξ Viewing earth imagery from DigitalGlobe’s online library mitigates potential network outage risks resulting in lower repair cost
ξ and higher levels of customer satisfaction
ξ accurate online earth imagery portrays impending impacts such as fresh vegetation growth,
ξ urban encroachment or potential extreme weather damage
ξ and this imagery is available both for online and offline access

Site planning
ξ Effective planning is critical to all telecommunication organizations because it typically results in cost savings.
ξ Having the bird’s eye view of the ground and
ξ a record of change over time that imagery offers plays a key role in site selection, parcel mapping and land management.

Engineering
ξ Telecommunication professionals need imagery early in the design process to engineer and
ξ construct new facilities and to visualize the impact of new construction on the landscape and surrounding community.
ξ It is also used to design site access which lessens construction costs based upon elevations, soil erosion and flooding potential.
ξ Why build a cell tower upon sub optimal land when imagery can mitigate millions of dollars in repairs and maintenance?

Environmental studies
ξ Current, precise imagery is also critical data in environmental impact assessments, watershed analysis and ground water management.
ξ These studies must be accurate for organizations to maintain regulatory compliance and
ξ can be used for risk mitigation and compliance meetings.

Online World & Property listings
ξ Home and property buyers are flocking to the Internet to browse listings and research potential purchases.
ξ With aerial and satellite images, you can better showcase properties and
ξ tour neighborhoods to make your online real estate listings work harder
ξ imagery helps users better visualize locations and virtually fly over any neighborhood to see the details in and around each property.
ξ They will see actual features such as backyard space, landscape details, property access,
ξ proximity to shopping and local services, parks, schools, etc.
