• Abstract summary: Millions of abandoned oil and gas wells are scattered across the world. Many of these locations are unknown, preventing the wells from being plugged and their polluting effects averted. We introduce the first large-scale benchmark dataset for this problem, leveraging medium-resolution multi-spectral satellite imagery from Planet Labs.

• Abstract: Millions of abandoned oil and gas wells are scattered across the world, leaching methane into the atmosphere and toxic compounds into the groundwater. Many of these locations are unknown, preventing the wells from being plugged and their polluting effects averted. Remote sensing is a relatively unexplored tool for pinpointing abandoned wells at scale. We introduce the first large-scale benchmark dataset for this problem, leveraging medium-resolution multi-spectral satellite imagery from Planet Labs. Our curated dataset comprises over 213,000 wells (abandoned, suspended, and active) from Alberta, a region with especially high well density, sourced from the Alberta Energy Regulator and verified by domain experts. We evaluate baseline algorithms for well detection and segmentation, showing the promise of computer vision approaches but also significant room for improvement.

  A fundamental limitation of object detectors is that they suffer from "spatial bias" We present a new zone evaluation protocol, which measures the detection performance over zones. For the first time, we provide numerical results, showing that the object detectors perform quite unevenly across the zones.

  Deep learning can identify the locations and characteristics of methane sources. There is a substantial lack of publicly available data to enable machine learning researchers and practitioners to build automated mapping approaches. We construct a multi-sensor dataset called METER-ML containing 86,625 georeferenced NAIP, Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2 images in the U.S. We find that our best model achieves an area under the precision recall curve of 0.915 for identifying concentrated animal feeding operations and 0.821 for oil refineries and petroleum terminals on an expert-labeled test set.
