This book investigates the applicability of satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) for deformation monitoring, in particular subsidence due to hydrocarbon extraction. It covers the subject in a generic way, from the precision and reliability of InSAR as a measurement technique to the estimation of the deformation signal of interest in the possible presence of multiple deformation regimes. This book requires a background in geosciences and is designed for both researchers and the industry, since it translates the research results into the operational use of InSAR for subsidence monitoring. It gives an overview of the Persistent Scatterer InSAR (PSI) theory, and subsequently focuses on the accuracy of the estimates. For the reliability assessment of InSAR deformation estimates, which is essential for operational use, the multi-track datum connection procedure is introduced. Moreover, methodologies to improve knowledge on the physical properties of the measurement targets (the PS) are addressed, for a potentially better discrimination of the deformation signal of interest. The presented methodologies are demonstrated in an integrated way for the entire northern part of the Netherlands and a part of Germany (covering ~15.000 km2) using real ERS and Envisat data. The capabilities of PSI for wide-scale monitoring of subsidence rates of several millimeters per year in a rural area (which implies a low PS density) are shown. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the temporal observation density of PSI provides new insights in hydrocarbon reservoir behavior. For example, subsidence due to gas extraction and subsequent uplift due to underground gas storage is clearly detected.

Unique combination of scientific research and the operational use for deformation monitoring

Precision and reliability assessment of InSAR as a measurement technique, including the newly developed multi-track datum connection procedure

Demonstrates the applicability of PSI for deformation monitoring using a general theoretical framework in unfavourable circumstances (rural areas, small displacement rates (up to ~7 mm/year), over a large spatial extent (~15.000 km2)

The extra potential of PSI for monitoring reservoir behavior is investigated: subsidence and uplift, estimation of horizontal deformation by combining multiple tracks
