Space-related services for oil and gas marine operations

The eOdyn surface currents service aims at allowing real-time, accurate and large coverage information on ocean currents in order to provide insights to secure decision-making. It enables actual, not estimated, situation awareness to constitute the base for upfront operations planning and continuous re-assessment. The service relies on machine learning algorithms analysing vessels tracks to measure ocean surface currents. The main users are oil and gas companies involved in offshore operations, together with their contractors for offshore operations. It uses several space assets: the service is based on AIS data mainly provided by satellite (SAT-AIS) in order to provide a very extended coverage and the ocean measurements are broadcasted onboard vessels through VSAT.
