The North American Chapter of the GRSG in collaboration with Rice University, is pleased to announce our Second Oil and Gas Workshop that will explore new applications of remote sensing within the energy industry.

Earth Observation provides critical information to exploration and production decision-makers and this GRSG workshop will be an exciting and informative forum to present cutting-edge technologies.

The workshop organizing committee is now seeking contributions from industry professionals, suppliers and vendors, academics and government officials whose studies and applications fit the brief.

These projects may include, but are not limited to:

• Exploration and appraisal of O&G resources
• Planning and development of O&G assets
• Operations and productions phase including surveillance and environmental monitoring
• Metocean applications
• Emergency and oil spill response
• Decommissioning and rehabilitation of O&G assets
• New sensors, data analytics workflow, and machine learning techniques

GRSG Chairman, Charlotte Bishop explains why her group has set up the workshop and what she and her committee hope to achieve by doing so; “This workshop is being spearheaded by our International Liaison for North America, Christian Haselwimmer. I know that Christian and his organising committee will ensure that this is a fantastic opportunity for everyone in the region to promote their use of remote sensing data for geological applications. Events like this are not always easy to find but there is a real appetite for them. 

I know I speak for the entire GRSG committee when I say that we are delighted to be able to offer this North American-based workshop in our ever-expanding GRSG Calendar and I feel sure it will increase both interest and engagement with the work of GRSG, throughout both North and South America.”
