Challenge Description |
||||||||
|
What is not possible / not adequately addressed at present? |
||||||||
|
Requirement for hydrocarbon detection and monitoring of oil weeps and seeps from underground pipelines and to assess contamination of potential acquisition areas. Would support characterization of an area for remediation. Naturally occurring hydrocarbon seepage detection would also have potential reservoir identification benefits if future higher resolution hyper spectral data streams support this. |
||||||||
|
What effect does this challenge have on operations? |
||||||||
|
Effects would include environmental impacts and liability issues. |
||||||||
|
Thematic information requirements: |
Land cover Terrain information Distribution and status of infrastructure Lithology, structural geology, surficial geology |
|||||||
|
What do you currently do to address this challenge? How is this challenge conventionally addressed? |
||||||||
|
A combination of aerial surveys and computer based modeling. Laser fluorescence has been used in offshore. |
||||||||
|
What kind of solutions do you envisage could address this challenge? |
||||||||
|
High-resolution hyperspectral |
||||||||
|
What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? Are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not? |
||||||||
|
Not proven. It is would be helpful to take better advantage of using vegetation stress indicators for hydrocarbon detection. |
