RE: Cool things we do with Satellites #6 : Near real-time detecting of oil spills worldwide
Wow my friend @fredrikaa this information is very good and informative, I work in the Venezuelan oil industry but on land, here we still do not have that radar technology, however we can see the spills through well checkers or by the same staff. In the world there have been large oil spills such as the one that originated the oil platform deepwather horizon in 2010, it has been one of the biggest spills, which by the way the movie that tells the story is very good! We must preserve our environment and be attentive to any oil spill, very good satellite technology. Thanks for this information my brother. Regards..!
The radar images from the European Sentinel 1 Satellites is freely available for anyone to use and also gives maps of Venezuela. You can actually access it yourself and use it for free here, so now you just need someone who knows to work with the data :P.
But if you want frequent updates or close monitoring of a particular area, then you will need commercial data.
I think it's great, now from my pc I will enter, the truth is that it is a good technology and it serves as a great help for the oil world, not only to observe oil spills but also for any additional information that is needed. Thank you so much, my dear friend! It is good to always learn new things and to stand by technology!
