Applied Laser Scanning - Airborne & Terrestrial - for Oil- & Gas industry – An Experience Report Peter Goellner Geokosmos International, Russia Email: elena_fugenfirova@geokosmos.ru Since 1993 when Geokosmos was established in Moscow, the company has always been a pioneer in application of most advanced geoinformation technologies based on state-of-the-art technological developments in laser scanning surveys both airborne and terrestrial. Throughout the 12 years since its foundation, Geokosmos has invested up to 30% of its annual budget in R & D focusing on the improvements of airborne and ground-based scanning methods in combination with traditional topographic and geodetic and optoelectronic methods of geospatial data collection as well as with aerial photogrammetry With a staff of over 200 qualified engineers, the state-of-the-art equipment, software products for integrated processing of digital data and in many respects unique experience of operation allowed Geokosmos to carry out extensive surveying projects in the Russian Oil and Gas industry in the shortest time, i.e. Gazprom’s Bovanenkovskoye field on the Yamal peninsula. The technology had been applied to produce digital maps and 3D bottom contour models of the shelf plate and inland water bodies for the development of new oil and gas fields and pipelines as well as for existing installations of as-build conditions producing complete 3D models for asset management, maintenance operations or re-works under extreme harsh environmental conditions. Geokosmos capabilities will be confirmed by presenting real project requirements and resulting data samples.
