Popis: The need to monitor ice conditions has motivated the launch of several earth observation (EO) satellites and ice mapping applications are among the highest consumers of satellite data. However, oil and gas operations (O&G) in ice-prone (both sea ice and iceberg) environments have largely been using EO data for upstream, strategic reports on ice conditions. There are many recent and upcoming advances in EO technology that are already enabling satellites to be used for other critical operations and there is value in using satellites extensively for ice management. The remainder of this paper briefly describes these advances and their impact on detecting ice conditions to support oil and gas operations.
