Oil and Gas Engineering

GIS and Remote Sensing

 GIS and Remote Sensing in oil and gas industry is a rapid and fast  growing field of interest. GIS applications in the oil and gas industry can serve multiple purpose. A geodatabase can be used to store, collect and visualize the physical location of pipelines, wells and spatial data. The main applications of GIS in oil and gas are  Land management, Data index maps, Well planning where as Remote Sensing can help to establish regional geologic relationships, to extract major structural features and to pinpoint anomalous patterns.

 Satellite interferometry synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) can play a cost-effective role in understanding terrain stability. A GIS technique is incorporated within the RS framework for manipulating the obtained data and improving effectiveness. This technology proves to be a frontier for oil and gas exploration and exploitation targets.
