After a successful workshop in 2010 the interest group continues to be active to promote the use of remote sensing in the O&G industry and started to liaise with formalized O&G bodies. The 2011 OGEO objectives were to: * Review progress with respect to the 2010 Action Development Plan * Organize a 2011 workshop * Present work initiated to implement the 2010 Action Development Plan * Present relevant EO applications to the Oil and Gas sector, with special focus on Oil spill response * Establish closer links between the Geology/Mineral EO communities and the Oil and Gas companies.

The 2011 OGEO workshop was composed of four sessions:

  • Session 1: OGEO status and achievements
  • Session 2: Data access, quality and standards
