In early December 2018, the Alberta provincial government took a dramatic step to address the oversupply of oil that was causing the collapse in Canadian crude prices.

Local oil companies were told how much they could produce, starting January 1, making Calgary feel more like an OPEC capital than a freewheeling oil town.

Eight months later, those efforts are bearing fruit.

Leveraging our deep expertise in satellite radar imagery, Ursa is able to provide reliable measurements - not extrapolations - across global supply chains day or night regardless of clouds or fog.

If you're like many people we talk to, you might not be very familiar yet with how SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) works and the unique capabilities SAR brings to the table as a geospatial and alternative data source.

This infographic distills this complex technology down to the basics to help summarize why we've chosen SAR as our go-to data source.
