• Provides imagery by day or night

• Adjustable resolution and incidence angles

COMMERCIAL SAR - POLAR ORBITTING

• ~ 14 orbits per 24 hours

• ~ 100 minutes per orbit

• ~ Height of 400 – 800 km

(vs ~36,000 for Geostationary)

• Earth turns beneath satellites

• Monitoring of Oil and gas activity across Norwegian continental shelf

began in 2007

ESTABLISHED EMSA CLEAN SEA NET

• Set up in 2007

• Pan European monitoring service

• 26 countries - coordinated by KSAT

• Extended the scope and mandate in 2015 mandate EO

• Now includes oil and gas and vessel detection for fisheries

and security

RADARSAT-2 COSMO-SkyMed TerraSAR-x

SENTINEL-1A PAZ (2015) RISAT-1

ONLY A HANDFUL OF SUITABLE COMMERCIAL SAR SATELLITES

AVAILABLE PLATFORMS

• 9 main SAR satellites

commercially available for

vessel detection (PAZ in latter

2015)

• All are polar orbiting

• Delivering actionable

information requires:

o Fast data acquisition

o Efficient processing (KSAT

has in-house processors for

most, enabling NRT

delivery)

o Rapid delivery to end-user

• Presents special challenges at

mid-latitudes

RADARSAT-2 COVERAGE – 22 APRIL 2015

WITH A SINGLE

SATELLITE

PROVIDER

• Large swathes of

uncovered ground

• Closer to equator:

more acute

challenge

• Note that the UAE

was not covered

on that day

SPILL MONITORING IN THE ARABIAN GULF

/ 23 /

COVERAGE OF ALL AVAILABLE – 22 APRIL 2015

WITH MULTI-MISSION

SATELLITE PROVIDERS

• Much higher chances of

capturing required

imagery

• Redundancy in case of

technical issues

• Greater acquisition speed

• Optimal solution for

providing actionable

information


SINGLE SATELLITE ACQUISITION CHANCES (RISAT-1): 1 TO 15 JUNE 2015

/ 24 /


IMAGE ACQUISITION

CHANCES

• 22 of the Gulf over

15 days

• Provides reasonable

coverage for

proactive daily

monitoring

• Clearly insufficient

for emergency 24/7

coverage

MULTI-MISSION SATELLITE ACQUISITIONS – 1 TO 15 JUNE 2015

/ 25 /

IMAGE ACQUISITION

CHANCES

• 115 of the Gulf over 15

days

• Variety of angles and

resolutions to choose

from

• Provides superior

situational awareness

• Ideal to provide

emergency 24/7

support in case of a

spill

• Will ensure fully

optimized daily,

proactive monitoring


OIL SPILL DETECTION & CONSEQUENCE MANAGEMENT

BENEFITS OF PROACTIVE MONITORING

In Case of Spill

• Quick identification of possible oil spills

• Assess danger to beaches, sensitive

ecosystems

• Faster launch of oil spill response

• Further emergency imagery can then be

ordered to enhance effectiveness of

consequence management

• Oil spill report data can be used to inform oil

movement modelling

In Case of No Spill

• Can demonstrate that NO spill has taken

place

• Identify natural seeps, or other phenomenon

(algae blooms)

• (Seep tracking can also aid exploration)

• Helps address media criticism, regulatory

scrutiny

WHAT EFFECTS CAN SATELLITES DELIVER?

POLLUTION CONTROL ENFORCEMENT

COMBINING OIL SPILL AND VESSEL

DETECTION

• AIS & optical satellite imagery can be correlated

with SAR oil slick imagery

• Identify likely source of spill

FEBRUARY 2012

• EMSA detected oil slick likely from Singaporean

“Maersk Kiera”

• Initial denials, admitted releasing palm oil, and

clearing bilges

• Claimed was beyond the 12NM limit

• EMSA’s SAR imagery proved otherwise –

successful prosecution in court

• Case in March 2015 issue of “Spill Alert”


POLLUTION CONTROL ENFORCEMENT – IMAGERY EXAMPLE


SAR Image of Detected Slick AIS track information then overlaid to find

likely vessel-slick correlation

Polluter Identified

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE & CSR

OIL INDUSTRY UNDER UNTENSE SCRUTINY

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

• Oil spill detection mandatory in some

countries

• Where optional, tool not just to comply, but to

demonstrate compliance

• Can enable monitoring of distant operations in

isolated locations

• Management check on operational partners

• Based on unbiased third-party data

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

• Oil spill detection service as enhanced

environmental commitment

• Controversial shipping routes, undersea

pipelines and offshore infrastructure –

monitoring commitment could help win public

& political support


• Emergency Points of Contact agreed and kept

current

• Oil Spill Alerts: telephone, SMS and e-mail

• Oil Spill Detection Reports delivered as PDF

• Dedicated client web site available (FTP)

• Shape Files/Images sent for integration into

any GIS tool or modelling system
