7 Satellite communication services and applications for Oil & Gas Industry

8 Satellite Communication Services for Oil & Gas Industry Drilling contractors, operators and service companies demand communication services that meet their specific requirements. Contractors need comprehensive, reliable solutions that scale to support their growing number of sites drilling rigs, remote offices and shore bases. At the same time, their assets need to be equipped with the latest technology and capabilities so they can meet the communication demands.

9 Satellite Communication Services for Oil & Gas Industry Prospection and production sites both on-shore and off shore are often in areas without terrestrial communication coverage Mobility and fast deployablility of plants is always a key factor to optimize time and resources Pipelines and other infrastructures spread over large territories need reliable and coherent communication service Satellite communication solution is the most reliable and affordable solution available everywhere at anytime and has unparalleled advantages when remote locations connection, either fixed, mobile or fast deployable, is mandatory.

17 Satellite imagery solutions in support for Oil and Gas industry

18 Satellite imagery Applications for Oil & Gas Industry Satellite imagery offers today the possibility to analyze and monitors various aspects of the Oil & Gas activities Terrain displacement due to extraction activities Terrain movements (landslides, subsidence, etc.) involving critical infrastructures (reservoirs, pipelines, etc) Sea Oil spills for offshore platforms and transport and drilling ships Environmental pollution for active and inactive plants

19 SAR interferometry basic principles ΔR top 1 st acquisition R2 2 nd acquisition R1 Through the analysis of two or more satellite radar images it is possible to monitor the displacements of a specific target. Area subject to a deformation. ΔR disp

20 SAR Interferometric technology SAR interferometry allows determining slow movements of the observed targets due to subsidence, landslides, earthquakes and volcanic phenomena with millimetric accuracy Our company has developed an advanced SAR interferometry processing technology, named PSP-IFSAR (Persistent Scatterer Pairs Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar), with original algorithms and solutions Our company manages the only commercially available high resolution SAR constellation COSMO-SkyMed, which allows target monitoring with around 4 hours revisit time

21 Interferometry for Oil & Gas Interferometry Surveying solutions support for: ground deformation historical analysis and ground deformation periodical monitoring relevant to field development, production, infrastructure & pipelines, refineries & storage, environmental impact monitoring and risk mitigation development of reservoir models, by calibrating model parameters using surface deformation data Decision making process: fully GIS compatible can be combined with other geographic and geological information can be integrated with ground surveying systems (artificial reflectors, GPS ground monitoring system, seismic surveying, etc.)
