Title: Updates on recent environmental remote sensing R&D and technology deployments in Chevron

Author: Christian Haselwimmer

Abstract:

As the demand for environmentally responsible operations grows, Chevron is leveraging advancements in remote sensing to improve its monitoring capabilities across the full lifecycle of its operations. This presentation will offer updates on recent efforts in environmental remote sensing research and development (R&D), including the evaluation and deployment of new platforms and sensors.

We are also advancing data analytics and machine learning (ML) models focused on specific use-cases such as liquid leak detection, emergency response, wildlife monitoring, site assessment, remediation, and vegetation restoration monitoring. Through these initiatives, Chevron aims not only to meet, but to exceed current environmental standards. Additionally, we are working to increase efficiency, lower costs, and reduce safety exposures linked with traditional approaches to environmental data collection.
