OIL & GAS
PIPELINE MONITORING
Pipelines, used to transport oil, gas, and water, are works of great linear extension that reach thousands of kilometers. Along this path, they pass through different type of soils such as sand, mud, clay or different types of sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous rocks. In addition to that, changes in aquifers and reservoirs produce movements on ground over which pipelines are laid down.
Differential interferometry (DInSAR) allows monitoring at centimetric and sub-centimetric levels with a temporal periodicity of 8 days in the case of the SAOCOM® satellites. Thus, it is possible to identify areas where changes in the ground may represent a risk of pipeline damage.
