Satellite InSAR Data: Reservoir Monitoring from Space
Instructor: Alessandro Ferretti, Tele-Rilevamento Europa - Milan, Italy

Course Description
Satellite radar data for surface deformation monitoring are gaining increasing attention. They provide apowerful tool for remotely measuring small surface displacements that can be applied successfully to manydifferent applications, spanning from sinkhole detection to reservoir optimization. This course provides a stepby-step introduction to satellite radar sensors, SAR imagery, SAR interferometry and advanced InSAR
techniques. Rather than a tutorial for remote sensing specialists, the course starts from very basic concepts
and explain in plain language the most important ideas related to SAR data processing and why geoscientists
and engineers should take a vested interest in this new information source.

Course Objectives:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:- understand the key interest of InSAR for geoscientists and engineers;- understand the basic concepts behind Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors;- appreciate the main differences between SAR and optical images;- understand the basic data requirements, assumptions, limitations and applicability of SAR
interferometry (InSAR);- discover advantages and limitations of advanced InSAR techniques for estimating sub-centimetresurface deformation phenomena from space;- realize why InSAR data are becoming a standard tool for surface deformation monitoring;- compare InSAR data with in situ measurements, such as: GPS and tiltmeters.
- understand how surface deformation can be related to geophysical parameters at depth;- see how InSAR data are an effective tool for monitoring subsidence phenomena;- understand the importance of surface deformation monitoring in Cabon Capture and Sequestration(CCS) and Underground Gas Storage (UGS) projects;- understand why InSAR data can be used as a cost-effective tool for reservoir management, as well as
a risk mitigation tool;- start thinking about future applications of satellite radar data, possibly in synergy with other in-situ
observations

Participants’ Profile
The course is for anyone who would like to understand how satellite sensors can measure surface
displacements to a fraction of a centimetre from space. Reservoir engineers, geophysicists, geodesists,
geologists should all be interested in this new tool for surface deformation monitoring that is becoming more
and more a standard. Radar data are still largely unknown, but their impact on oil& gas and civil protection
applications can be huge.

Prerequisites
Rather than a strong background in remote sensing, geophysics and calculus, curiosity is probably the mostimportant prerequisite. The course can be understood by geoscientists and engineers with a moderatemathematical background.

Satellite InSAR Data: Reservoir Monitoring from Space
Instructor: Alessandro Ferretti, Tele-Rilevamento Europa - Milan, Italy

Alessandro Ferretti graduated in electronic engineering in 1993 at the Politecnico diMilano (POLIMI). He then received his MSc. in information technology from CEFRIEL(1994) and his PhD in electrical engineering from POLIMI (1997). Since 1994 his research
efforts have been focused on radar data processing, SAR interferometry and the use of
remote sensing information for oil&gas and Civil Protection applications. He is co-inventorof the “Permanent Scatterer Technique” (PSInSAR™) and its advanced version:
SqueeSAR™, a technology providing millimetre accuracy surface deformation
measurements from satellite radar data.
In 2000 he founded, together with professors Rocca and Prati the company “Tele-Rilevamento Europa” (TRE),
where he is currently CEO. TRE is today the most successful POLIMI spin-off company, offering high-quality
surface deformation data for many different applications, from oil/gas reservoir surveillance, to landslide
monitoring. Since 2008, he has acted as Chairman of the Board of TRE Canada Inc. He is member of EAGE, SPE
and the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society. In June 2012, Alessandro Ferretti, together with Prof.
Fabio Rocca, was awarded the “ENI Award 2012” for the potential impact of the PSInSAR™ technology on theoil&gas sector
