Challenge ID:

HCP-2301

Originator:

Onshore: Hatfield

Title:

Identify discreet lithology.

Theme:

ON 2.3: Surface Geology Mapping - Lithological discrimination

Consortium Lead:

Arup

Interviewed Company:

Arup

Geography:

ON.REG.00 - Generic onshore

Challenge Description

What is not possible / not adequately addressed at present?

Require accurate detection and extrapolation of lithology and soil units is challenging. For example, identify green clay rather than bedrock for seismic survey using vibroseis equipment.

What effect does this challenge have on operations?

Reduces uncertainty, improves decision making for exploration and field development.

 

Thematic information requirements:

Lithology

Ortho base images

What do you currently do to address this challenge? 

How is this challenge conventionally addressed?

Geological maps. Field geological mapping. Multispectral satellite image analysis

What kind of solutions do you envisage could address this challenge?

Multispectral and hyperspectral imagery

What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need?

Are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not?

Satellite imagery is already well suited although has low accessibility due to technical skills required for processing. Spectral libraries are inconsistent across differing geographic and terrain groups. New developments (e.g. EnMAP) will provide opportunities for increased accuracy/detail and take-up.
