WORKSHOP

The mexican energy sector is undergoing a significant transformation and development, following the opening of energy policies and the arrival of international oil companies. In the near future, important projects will be carried out in places (and with technologies) unpublished in Mexico, such as the exploitation of deep water in the Gulf of Mexico, large-scale exploitation of land fields, fracking, refineries, pipelines, etc. Due to the climatic, geographical, and social conditions of Mexico, these projects are of high social and environmental risk: hurricanes, hydrocarbon spills, earthquakes, vandalism, etc. This Workshop will discuss in detail the latest advances in Geospatial Data of Immediate Access (Near Real Time) to support the different phases of an energy project, from Exploration and Planning, to Dismantling, through Production and Emergency Response.

Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) is a world-leading provider of Earth Observation services from both Optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites. KSAT has a history spanning more than 50 years and a 20-year track record of providing advanced monitoring services, most of which in Near Real Time, to meet the needs of its global Oil&Gas and Governmental customers. Some of these services, which are highly relevant in the Mexican Energy Sector, include: off-shore oil spill monitoring, pipeline monitoring, natural seepage detection, high resolution optical imagery in Near-Real-Time, ground deformation (INSAR), change detection, etc. KSAT is part of Kongsberg Group (one of Norway's largest industry groups) and has presence in Mexico, where it has delivered some of its biggest satellite monitoring programs to date.
