LiDAR/high definition laser scanning technology has progressed to the point where data sets are incredibly rich in detail. Indeed at times it appears as if one could reach out and simply extract all relevant information. Except, one can’t. There has to be more than pretty pictures behind the technology. Read More...

The Ormen Lange natural gas field is located in the Norwegian Sea - 120 kilometers northwest off the coast of Møre, Norway. It is the country’s largest gas field. Ormen Lange also happens to be among the world’s most hard-to-get-at gas fields - located 3,000 meters (1.86 miles!) under the sea. Hydro is the operator responsible for the planning and development of Ormen Lange’s 40km x 8km gas reservoir. Once established, Shell will take over as operator of Ormen Lange.
