Abstract: Methods and systems for determining a status of a hydrocarbon production site are provided. The systems and methods include defining an area about a hydrocarbon well location and obtaining a time series of mobile geolocation data for at least one mobile device located within the area about the hydrocarbon well location. The times series of mobile geolocation data is processed and probabilities that the mobile geolocation data is associated with a drilling activity, a fracking activity, a tie-in activity, and/or an absence of drilling activity, fracking activity, and/or tie-in activity are output. The mobile geolocation data is categorized, based on the probabilities, as being associated with one of drilling activity, fracking activity, or absence of drilling activity and fracking activity.

Abstract: A method for measuring a liquid volume and/or corresponding fill rate of floating roof tanks includes selecting an Area Of Interest (AOI) to be monitored at the earth's surface, gathering geographical coordinates of tanks in the AOI, and downloading and pre-processing a time series of SAR reference images covering the AOI. The method includes projecting geographical coordinates of the tanks on the time series of the images to determine pixel coordinates of the tanks, and determining tank dimensions through processing of the images at the pixel coordinates. The method includes downloading and pre-processing at least one new SAR image over the AOI and registering it on top of the reference images, and, for each tank of the AOI, detecting in the new SAR image a bright spot corresponding to the roof of the tank and converting its pixel coordinates into liquid volume and/or fill rate information.

Abstract: A method for detecting pad construction and/or drilling and/or for hydraulic fracturing of at least one hydrocarbon well, comprising the steps of: selecting at least one specified well location, obtaining at least one time series of top view images of the specified well location, in which each top view image has a date corresponding to a day of acquisition of the top view image, processing the time series of top view images to detect at least one top view image showing the apparition of a well pad and/or showing drilling activity and/or showing fracturing activity, exporting the date corresponding to the acquisition day of the top view image showing the apparition of the well pad and/or drilling activity and/or fracturing activity, providing, based on export date, an information of pad construction date and/or drilling starting date and/or fracturing starting date and/or a full production forecast for the specified well location.
