3. Requirements
• HSE risk analysis is involved at every decision
step (and sometimes can be a real show stopper)
• Multiple risk dimensions have to be assessed:
– Environmental Risks
– Security Risks
– Safety Risks
– Societal Risks
– Health Risks
• Depending on the project phase, various
documents will be completed and updated:
– Environnemental Baseline Study (EBS)
– Environmental Impact Assesment (EIA)
– Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

4. A shared requirement
• HSE Risks are monitored by all involved parties:
– O&G or Mining Company
– Government (national & local)
– Civilian Society & NGOs
• HSE Risks are the cornerstone for trust and
understanding on the project

5. Multiple derivations
for specific tasks
• Exemple with Logistics & HSE requirements for
seismic surveys:
– Vehicle access (type, restricted access, travel times,
dozer usage)
– Vehicle HSE (rollovers, tyre damage, 3rd party
exposure)
– Sensor Issues (type, planting, restricted access)
– Radio & GPS (elevation, infrastructure, tree cover)

6. What do we need to fulfill
those requirements ?
We need We need
data Accuracy
We need We need
fast a fair
access price

7. Specific requirements in a
changing environment
• A country like Chad changes fast:
– New Projects
– New infrastructures
– Urban Growth

does not have the answer!

10. New trends:
Data, Access, Context
• Data:
– A growing and healthy satellite fleet  No risk
anymore to be without data
– Answers for every scale and every spectral band 
Possibility to answer specific requirements
– New collection methods  more archive data
– Impact of the Open Data Policy  More data freely
available
www.geo212.fr July 5th, 2011 SAPO 2.0 / Page 10

11. New trends:
Data, Access, Context
• Access:
– We will no longer buy imagery but access an imagery
service
– Historical imagery is more and more freely available
(e.g. Landsat historical archive since 1972 freely
available)
– Different access modes depending on the emergency
www.geo212.fr July 5th, 2011 SAPO 2.0 / Page 11

12. New trends:
Data, Access, Context
• Context:
– Imagery does not answer everything
– There is sometimes too much imagery:
• « Traditional imagery products without context will
become a distraction from solving future problems »
(Letitia Long – Dir. NGA – nov 2010)
• « we need to see patterns emerge from content »
(ICCM: NGO conference in Harvard – oct 2010)
