用卫星数据自动追踪三大海域油平台变化,揭示行业转型趋势。

Offshore oil and gas platform dynamics in the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and Persian Gulf: Exploiting the Sentinel-1 archive

  • 基于哨兵-1卫星和深度学习,实现跨区域平台自动化检测
  • 2025年共识别3728座平台,其中波斯湾增长明显,北海与墨西哥湾下降
  • 发现大量短期平台,反映海上作业向可移动设备转变

海上油气平台数量持续增长,对经济、环境与监管提出挑战,但因海域广阔且难以抵达,系统性监测困难。本研究利用免费获取的哨兵-1卫星数据与深度学习目标检测技术,构建了2017至2025年三大主要产油区(北海、墨西哥湾、波斯湾)的季度级平台时空分布序列。共识别出2025年3,728座平台,其中北海356座、墨西哥湾1,641座、波斯湾1,731座。尽管波斯湾平台数量持续上升至2024年,北海与墨西哥湾在2018至2020年间出现平台数量下降。同时,超过2,700座平台被新建或迁移,另有相近数量被退役或搬迁。平台平均寿命缩短,反映出行业结构变化——移动式海上设施(如自升式平台、钻井船)作用日益重要。研究成果表明,免费遥感数据结合深度学习可实现长期、一致的海洋基础设施监测,所生成数据集已公开,为海洋规划与能源转型分析提供支持。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The increasing use of marine spaces by offshore infrastructure, including oil and gas platforms, underscores the need for consistent, scalable monitoring. Offshore development has economic, environmental, and regulatory implications, yet maritime areas remain difficult to monitor systematically due to their inaccessibility and spatial extent. This study presents an automated approach to the spatiotemporal detection of offshore oil and gas platforms based on freely available Earth observation data. Leveraging Sentinel-1 archive data and deep learning-based object detection, a consistent quarterly time series of platform locations for three major production regions: the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Persian Gulf, was created for the period 2017-2025. In addition, platform size, water depth, distance to the coast, national affiliation, and installation and decommissioning dates were derived. 3,728 offshore platforms were identified in 2025, 356 in the North Sea, 1,641 in the Gulf of Mexico, and 1,731 in the Persian Gulf. While expansion was observed in the Persian Gulf until 2024, the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea saw a decline in platform numbers from 2018-2020. At the same time, a pronounced dynamic was apparent. More than 2,700 platforms were installed or relocated to new sites, while a comparable number were decommissioned or relocated. Furthermore, the increasing number of platforms with short lifespans points to a structural change in the offshore sector associated with the growing importance of mobile offshore units such as jack-ups or drillships. The results highlighted the potential of freely available Earth observation data and deep learning for consistent, long-term monitoring of marine infrastructure. The derived dataset is public and provides a basis for offshore monitoring, maritime planning, and analyses of the transformation of the offshore energy sector.
