From monitoring quarries to understanding oil storage – satellite data has a wide range of uses
Satellite data provides a huge range of benefits to the energy and mining industries, helping to plan, monitor and predict activities.
Satellite data help in planning major projects: Understanding land use, supply routes, logistics, terrain, elevation and biodiversity before any extraction begins
Monitoring
Sites and plants around the world can be monitored to provide data on a wide range of areas including:
Predicting
Satellite data, together with terrestrial data can help predict changes in supply and demand. From understanding the supply through the production of materials to the demand based on the level of activities of populations and industries.
