Energy Aspects Is the First to Know OECD Oil Inventories

Client Challenge

Oil markets are extremely subject to geopolitical risk. While government and independent agencies report supply-side statistics such as storage numbers, these are often delayed, subject to revision, or unavailable on a global scale.

Orbital Insight Solution

Energy Aspects partnered with Orbital Insight to track global oil inventories across 25,000 Floating Roof Tanks. By apply computer vision to millions of daily satellite images, the company accesses data on daily storage volumes even in the most opaque markets.

Tokio Marine Helps Flood Victims in Record Time

Client Challenge

The 2018 Japan floods caused over 1 trillion dollars in property damage and took more than 200 lives. Tokie Marine is Japan’s largest flood insurance company, and getting insurance to those who needed to rebuild their lives was a priority. However, assessing damages across a wide area during extreme weather events is prohibitively difficult.

Orbital Insight Solution

Orbital Insight used Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and AI to drive a technology-based solution by using cloud-penetrating satellite technology to track flood extent and depth.

The information was rapidly delivered to Tokio Marine, which was then able to intersect the data to identify impacted customers.

“Whenever we rely on government data there is always a lag time. What we’re able to see is real-time flight activity in China, we’re able to see real-time port activity in China, we’re able to see real-time vehicle-traffic congestion data in China. This is able to give us a significant edge in terms of calling market inflection points.”
