Global intelligence for energy management and
infrastructure development

Energy & Infrastructure

Global demand for energy and infrastructures is increasing rapidly due to economic and population growth. New challenges are created by the need to fulfil the societal demand for energy and mobility, the necessity to reduce emissions and pollutants, and obligations to comply with environmental regulations.

Satellite Earth observation is a highly cost-effective means for the assessment of energy demand and renewable energy potential, monitoring of infrastructure development, environmental impact assessment and the identification of risks to infrastructural assets.

Success Story

Environmental
impact assessment

Support environmental impact assessment and to provide guidance to minimize ecological impacts and to value ecosystem services in the region

2015, Scotland - Shetland Islands

The Sullom Voe region on the Shetland Islands is a designated Special Area of Conservation and the location of the biggest oil and gas terminal in Europe – the Sullom Voe Terminal. To safeguard the surrounding environment, British Petrol (BP) commissioned GeoVille in 2015 with a monitoring of the Sullom Voe Terminal.

The aim of the project was to support environmental impact assessment and to provide guidance to minimize ecological impacts and to value ecosystem services in the region. GeoVille provided a detailed very high-resolution land cover and land use classification for the Sullom Voe Terminal area for two reference years. The results were used to identify valuable ecosystem services at Sullom Voe, recognize ecosystem service dependencies and the impact caused by the terminal operations.

The ecosystem service monitoring system resulted in increased material cost savings and may lead to new revenue streams arising from new market-based mechanisms like carbon, biodiversity and other payments for ecosystem services.

"The study “opened eyes” within BP to the huge benefits that the use of Earth observation and geospatial data brings to oil and gas operations through the entire project lifecycle from pre-acquisition to full operations and decommissioning.”

Peter Collinson, British Petrol (BP)
