SOUTH-BELRIDGE OIL FIELD, CALIFORNIA, USA
Heave monitoring for oil extraction
Clear spots of surface deformation have been detected over production areas
South-Belridge is considered one of the most productive oil reservoirs in the US. This figure shows an accumulated displacement of up to 20 cm corresponding to a 12-month period between 2018 and 2019 using a total of 33 Sentinel-1 images in DSC mode. Subsidence spots correspond to the areas with higher number of wells.
GENOA, ITALY
Subsidence – tunneling
This figure shows the accumulated displacement from April 2016 to March 2018 using Sentinel-1 images. A deformation focus going from 0.5 to 2.5 centimeters per year can be clearly appreciated
The location of the deformation area corresponds to the newly built Fereggiano overflow tunnel from the mid 2016 to the end of 2018.
Tunnel boring often affects the hydrological regime of the excavated area and can induce subsidence phenomena due to pore pressure variations, especially below buildings.
OPEN PIT MINE IN SOUTH AMERICA
Slope stability of open pit mines
InSAR technique allow preventing slope failures in open-pits
This figure shows the accumulated displacement from October 2019 to April 2020 using Sentinel-1 images over an open pit area. The generation of cross-sections allows a spatio-temporal analysis of deformation. An increase in the separation between consecutive graphs indicates an acceleration. InSAR techniques allow preventing slope failures in open-pits, monitoring local displacements to alert timely geotechnical responsible about potential problems, and to initiate slope management programs for failure mitigation.
