Remote Sensing for Water Monitoring Workshop

Posted by Deirdre on Jan 18, 2013 in Events, News, Workshops

Agenda: RS Water Quality WORKSHOP

PTAC and LOOKNorth have developed a Remote Sensing Technology Action Plan (RSTAP)
with the following objectives:
1. To identify remote sensing technologies that can address petroleum industry challenges;
2. To provide a neutral framework for stakeholders to exchange technical information as appropriate;
3. To co-fund and launch technology demonstration projects.

The initial step in the process is developing project definitions that outline petroleum industry information needs and how remote sensing could address these needs.

This workshop is by invitation only and its main focus will be the Water Monitoring Project Definition.

Water Monitoring Project Definition
Presently ground and surface water flows are typically monitored using in-situ surveillance stations to register hydrometric and environmental variables of interest, combined with hydrological models predicting the flow of water. Likewise, the monitoring of water quality relies on the analysis of water samples for specific water quality parameters. Remote sensing can provide cost reductions and coverage of larger areas for the systematic monitoring of environmental parameters relevant to water resources management.
The proposed project(s) will address the extraction of water parameters from satellite, airborne and in-situ platforms in support of hydrological modelling, environmental impact monitoring and compliance assurance. Water parameters include those associated with water quantity and water quality.
This project will demonstrate the ability of remote sensing to:
• Provide relevant inputs into the permitting process to standardize and expedite that process;
• Validate compliance with regulatory measures.

Remote Sensing & Monitoring Forum

Remote Sensing & Monitoring Forum

Calgary Petroleum Club
Devonian Room
319  5^th Avenue S.W. Calgary, Alberta T2P 0L5

Scope:

PTAC and LOOKNorth have developed a Remote Sensing Technology Action Plan (RSTAP) with the following objectives:

1. To identify remote sensing technologies that can address petroleum industry challenges;
2. To provide a neutral framework for stakeholders to exchange technical information as appropriate;
3. To co-fund and launch technology demonstration projects.

The initial step in the process is developing project definitions that outline petroleum industry information needs and how remote sensing could address these needs. The project definitions developed in these forums support Calls for Proposals (CFP).

This forum will address challenges, opportunities and potential remote sensing solutions to enhance the safe and sustainable development of oil and gas resources. Topics will include case studies, prototyping and pilot projects, as well as technology solutions ready to enter the commercialization stage.
