Oil and Gas

Satellite imagery incorporated with GIS can give project managers a birds-eye view of oil and gas exploration and development operations and aid in the monitoring of producing fields without being present and supports the assessment of facilities, pipeline corridor planning, emergencies, and hazards which can reveal potential risks for sensitive areas.

Satellite image and GIS data provide insight on the selection of areas to plan 2D or 3D seismic surveys for an exploration drilling program as well as aiding in the process of environmental and operational safety hazards to minimize the HSE risks.

Using advanced satellite image processing techniques to color balance with the correct band combinations, Satellite Imaging Corporation can process imagery per client requirements, optimized for the identification of specified terrain and geological features. These features are identified with high-resolution 3D terrain visualization acquired by stereo satellite imagery or LiDAR and viewed in 3D terrain visualization environments.

Exploration

High resolution <1m satellite map mosaics and 2m-5m DEMs provide operators with the appropriate planning tools for the layout of 2D and 3D seismic surveys. By selecting good source offset locations, seismic data quality can improve and by selecting good access to seismic lines, environmental impact and safety risks are minimized.

Development

SIC creates powerful interpretation tools for mapping and GIS projects that show the “big picture.” During the planning survey, these data-filled maps are invaluable to plotting a pipeline course, identifying potential problem areas, and determining the strategy for laying pipeline through rural, mountainous, or environmentally harsh areas.

Go to Development

Production

Satellite images are invaluable for the detection of leakage, which regular control systems may not be able to detect. Satellite Imaging Corporation acquires high-resolution satellite imagery from 30-centimeters to 1-meter resolution. that can detect a spill early, saving time and money on clean-up procedures.

FAQ’S

Frequently Asked Questions

How to find Geographic Coordinates in Google maps?

To find geographic coordinates in Google Maps, you can follow these steps:

Open Google Maps in your web browser or on your mobile device.
Search for the location you want to find the geographic coordinates for by entering the address, landmark, or name of the place in the search bar at the top of the page.
Once the location is displayed on the map, right-click (or long-press on mobile) the exact point on the map where you want to find the coordinates. This will open a small menu.
In the menu that appears, click on “What’s here?” or “What’s here? – Coordinates” option. On mobile devices, you may need to tap on the location marker first to reveal the menu options.
A small information box will appear at the bottom of the screen, displaying the latitude and longitude coordinates of the selected point. The coordinates will be shown in decimal degrees format.
You can click on the coordinates in the information box to expand it and see the coordinates in different formats, such as degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS) or Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) format.

How to Create a KML File in Google Earth?

To create a KML (Keyhole Markup Language) file in Google Earth, you can follow these steps:

Download Google Earth Pro and Open on your computer.
Navigate to the location or area you want to create a KML file for by using the search bar, zooming in/out, and panning on the map.
Customize the view and layers in Google Earth Pro to include the specific data or elements you want to include in your KML file. This can include placemarks, paths, polygons, overlays, images, and more.
Once you have set up the desired view and layers, go to the “Add” menu at the top of the screen and select the type of element you want to add (e.g., placemark, path, polygon, image overlay).
Follow the prompts to add the specific element and provide the necessary information, such as location coordinates, name, description, and any additional properties or styling options.
Repeat the previous step if you want to add more elements to your KML file.
After adding all the desired elements, go to the “File” menu and select “Save Place As.”
In the “Save Place As” dialog box, choose a location on your computer where you want to save the KML file.
Specify the name of the KML file, ensuring it has the .kml extension (e.g., myfile.kmL), you may need to select KML as GoogleEarth defaults to KMZ formats.
Click the “Save” button to save the KMZ file to the specified location on your computer.

How To Order Commercial Satellite Maps?

Ordering commercial high-resolution and medium-resolution satellite maps process:

Identify your requirements: Determine the specific needs for the satellite maps, including the desired resolution, geographic coverage, acquisition date, and any additional specifications such as spectral bands or cloud cover constraints.
Contact Us: Reach out to us to inquire about our imaging product and services. Provide us with the details of your requirements, including the area of interest, resolution, and any other specifications.
If there is high urgency for imagery, please let us know that this is a time sensitive project. Any project deadlines should be included with your initial contact.
Request a quote: Ask for a formal quote for the satellite maps you need. The quote should include information such as the cost, delivery timeline, licensing terms, and any additional services like data processing or analysis.
Review the quote: Evaluate the quote provided by us and if needed, we can negotiate the terms, pricing, or any specific requirements that may not be fully covered.
Confirm the order: Once you are satisfied with the quote and have reached an agreement, confirm your order. We will guide you through the necessary steps for payment and delivery.
Receive the satellite maps: After the order is confirmed and payment is processed, you will receive the satellite map data in the specified format. This may include downloading the data from a secure portal or receiving physical media, depending on delivery method.
Utilize the satellite maps: With the satellite maps that you receive, you can utilize it for your intended purposes, such as GIS data, 3D terrain maps, disaster, geospatial data, and other applications as needed.

What Are Satellite Imagery Raw Files?

Satellite map raw files refer to the unprocessed and unedited data captured by satellite sensors. These files contain the raw data received by the satellite sensors, including the reflected or emitted electromagnetic radiation from the Earth’s surface.

Satellite map raw files typically come in specialized formats specific to each satellite sensor or provider. These formats may include formats like GeoTIFF (georeferenced Tagged Image File Format) or ENVI (Environment for Visualizing Images). The raw files preserve the original sensor readings, which can include various spectral bands, radiometric information, and geometric parameters.

Raw files require processing to convert them into usable formats, such as georeferenced images or digital elevation model(DEM). Processing steps may involve radiometric and geometric corrections, atmospheric compensation, calibration, orthorectification, and mosaicking, among others.

Once processed, raw files can provide valuable information for various GIS data applications, including 3D terrain maps, agriculture production maps, vegetation maps, and disaster maps.

How To Download Satellite Maps in FTP

To download satellite maps from an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server, you can follow these general steps:

Obtain the FTP server information: Get the FTP server details from the satellite maps provider or the source you are accessing. This includes the FTP server address, username, password, and potentially the directory path to the imagery files.
Choose an FTP client: Select an FTP client software or application that allows you to connect to the FTP server and perform file transfers. Some popular options include FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck, or the built-in FTP functionality of certain web browsers.
If you are unable to download an FTP client due to software locks, Windows has a built in FTP Protocol that can be accessed by copying the URL of the FTP server in your Windows File Explorer.
Depending on the method to connect to the FTP, you will need credentials including a Username and Password to access these file.
Most FTP clients will allow you to Copy and Paste or Drag and Drop the files from the client window to your local files.

Remember to comply with any terms and conditions associated with the satellite map data, including usage restrictions, licensing agreements, and any attribution requirements specified by the provider.
