Fine-tuning water and steam injection in EOR diatomite project

Case Study

This case study shows how InSAR was used to help monitor deformation across a large, active EOR operation in California, giving teams a clearer view of where subsidence and uplift were developing, and where injection behaviour may need closer attention. Over time, that insight helped support a more responsive approach to managing field performance, well integrity and environmental risk.

 

  • How InSAR can help monitor uplift and subsidence across large EOR fields

  • How regular deformation updates can support better injection management

  • How ground movement patterns can reveal signs of over- or under-injection

  • How satellite monitoring can help reduce risk to wells, production and the environment

  • How this approach supported broader operational visibility across a growing number of leaseholds
