Ground deformation observed near Cold Lake, Alberta, by RADARSAT-2 DInSAR during 2008-2013 / S.V. Samsonov. : M183-2/7527E-PDF

"Ground deformation in the Cold Lake, Alberta, region was measured with Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) from RADARSAT-2 imagery acquired during 2008-2013. Deformation maps presented here show subsidence and uplift produced during oil extraction. Typical values of ground deformation were in the range of and sometimes exceeding 10-30 cm over the 24 day satellite repeat period, which is more than 10 times faster than in other oil sands region that the Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO) has studied in collaboration with the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER). Significant deformation, both uplift and subsidence, was observed in regions where oil leaks were reported. These regions are shown as brown rectangles. This analysis may be significantly improved if ground based data such as, steam pressure, injection steam and oil extraction rates were used"--Abstract.
