OIL & GAS
For Production, ALTAMIRA INFORMATION offers millimetric ground motion measurements for oil & gas extraction, storage, pipelines and offshore anchored platforms.
For Exploration, ALTAMIRA INFORMATION detects oil seepages using radar satellites, and supports the client with mapping products such as 3D mapping and structural images.

Oil & Gas extraction
Increase of extraction efficiency: Monitoring of surface uplift to optimise extraction efficiency and SAGD production (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage production). Infrastructure: Monitoring of Oil & Gas infrastructures and their surroundings to reduce the risk of damages. |
 |
Gas storage
Quality control of storage facilities with uplift & subsidence monitoring. CH4 storage: Monitoring of ground motion due to seasonal changes in storage pressure. CO2 storage: Underground CO2 storage is becoming important due to CO2 emission control. |
 |
Platform monitoring
Monitoring of offshore platform settlement (sea-bottom-anchored platforms) to support decisions on platform replacement timing. Measurement reference point is the nearest continental location that appears on the same satellite track as the platform. |
 |
Pipeline monitoring
For visible pipelines to provide warnings about potential risks, for example overpasses and bridges. Landslides are monitored to quantify the lateral impact on the pipeline. |
 |
Monitoring of oil slicks
Oil slicks are detected in offshore and can be from different origin, e.g. oil seepages as an indicator of hydrocarbon existence. Results are integrated with additional data such as wind force and direction to locate the oil seepage emission point. |
 |
Mapping
3D mapping and structural mapping, especially in remote areas. Mapping products can be a key support to logistics and route planning, interpretation of surface structures, slope measurement etc. |
