Challenge Description |
||||||||
|
What is not possible / not adequately addressed at present? |
||||||||
|
Provision of accurate elevation data for linear route planning and earthworks calculations and design, pipeline flow modelling and leak dispersion modelling - to help define prime alignment and quantification of pumping stations and block valves, and design of other oil and gas infrastructure (airstrips, CPF, LNG). |
||||||||
|
What effect does this challenge have on operations? |
||||||||
|
Reduce planning costs by determining optimal or most favourable pipeline route alignment and reducing earthworks based on accurate elevation models and data. |
||||||||
|
Thematic information requirements: |
Topographic information Terrain information Distribution and status of infrastructure |
|||||||
|
What do you currently do to address this challenge? How is this challenge conventionally addressed? |
||||||||
|
Aerial surveys and bespoke commissioning of satellite stereo-surveys. |
||||||||
|
What kind of solutions do you envisage could address this challenge? |
||||||||
|
High resolution optical images and DEM |
||||||||
|
What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? Are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not? |
||||||||
|
Mature technology with lots of choice of sensors |
