Monitoring Oil and Gas Facilities: Use of Natural Reflectors and Artificial Corners Reflectors

Abstract

InSAR based ground motion monitoring of oil and gas facilities, including pipelines, plants and LNG terminals, contributes to production planning and the safety of operations. Factors such as seismicity, landslides, coastal erosion or anthropogenic effects such as the oil and gas activities themselves may cause infrastructure to be affected by ground motion, which may in turn pose a threat to the surrounding population and wildlife, or the efficiency of the infrastructure itself. The PSI technique is an efficient tool for assessing and monitoring the effects of the aforementioned on the infrastructure and the surrounding area.
