Image Collection:

Spatial Energy provides geospatial services using remote sensing imagery from QuickBird, Ikonos, WorldView-1, LandSat, SPOT, TerraSAR-X (radar), MODIS, ASTER satellites, and from digital aerial cameras such as the UltraCam, ADS40, and DMC. In addition to multi-spectral imagery from the above sources, Spatial Energy provides digital elevation data (DEM) derived from LIDAR data, UltraCam, and other sources.

Imagery is available on demand from our extensive data archives, by tasking satellites/aerial providers, and by speculative collection. Spatial Energy has established preferred relationships with the leading data providers and can thus select the best source(s) to meet your particular application. In addition, programs such as the Spatial Energy Partner Program (EPP), R-Watch, and Spatial On Demand provide simplified, cost effective access to imagery.

Land Exploration

Exploring for hydrocarbons on large areas of land using a traditional boots-on-the-ground approach is very time consuming and costly. As an alternative, Spatial Energy combines the spatial, spectral and temporal characteristics of high and medium resolution satellite imagery combined with ancillary ground data and data mining tools to produce a map showing areas of the land with potential for exploration. Spatial Energy's Land Exploration Services can be applied to large areas of land, saving time and cost.

Land Exploration Services Offered

Most hydrocarbon accumulations have some leakage to the surface affecting the ground rocks and soils through which they move. Changes in mineral composition, illite to kaolinite and vegetation community (vigorous to stressed vegetation) can be an indicator of the presence of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon production areas have been correlated to minerals and vegetation anomalies detected from ASTER imagery.

Spatial Energy uses Hyperspectral imagery from ASTER in conjunction with soil data, geological data and advanced data mining tools and knowledge from in-house expert geologists to identify rock/mineral formations and vegetation disturbances indicative of hydrocarbon presence. Spatial Energy’s Land Exploration Service generates a map depicting areas with potential for petroleum/gas exploration.

The imagery used in this process is ortho-rectified. In addition, Spatial Energy tailors the feature map such that it fits within the customer’s decision system and can be integrated into a handheld field GPS to support further field survey and exploration.
