New Era
◽
In the last seven years, many earth observation satellites from national agencies and commercial providers have been launched, making huge volumes of data freely available to anyone. Open-access software and cloud computing tools also have been developed by the earth observation community. Those, as well as new sensors and vectors such as drone-borne hyperspectral cameras or gas-sensing systems are opening a number of applications for the oil and gas industry in exploration, production, and environmental monitoring.
