RE: InSAR - Radar remote sensing of monolayer film from space
Dear Moshe:
Following our series of conversations, TRE agrees to be a subcontractor of InSAR monitoring
services to your project.
InSAR is an acronym for Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar and TRE is a leader in the
supply and analysis of InSAR imagery.
A conventional application of SAR imagery is the detection of ground movement to millimetric
levels of accuracy. However InSAR can also be used in oil spill detection and the detection of
natural oil seeps in the marine environment. Spill and seep detection are current TRE services;
detection relying on the change in water surface radar reflectivity in the oil film and non-oil film
areas. It is this ability that will be used by More Aqua Inc. to detect the location of oil films in
pilot test sites.
InSAR imagery is produced by SAR radar packages mounted on satellites orbiting the Earth in a
pole to pole direction. The satellites are orbiting at an altitude of 500 miles so the scene size of
the satellite imagery is large, covering 625 square miles with a measurement point every 10
square feet.
The Earth rotates in a west to east direction and the satellite travelling north to south "paint" a
series of radar swaths on the Earths surface. Much of this radar energy is scattered or
absorbed but some it reflected back to the satellite and is recorded as an image.
TRE has been working with SAR data for fifteen years. Originally a ten-year research project at
the University of Milan in Italy, the company was spun away in 2000 under the guidance of four
academic partners. TRE now owns the patent on the statistical algorithm used to interpret
Permanent Scatterer (PS) SAR data and is still in the forefront of research on InSAR data
analysis.

Commercial in Confidence Page 2
Currently all SAR data is commercially sourced and TRE is probably the largest commercial
purchaser of SAR imagery in the world. As a result TRE enjoys a significant discount to
published image pricing. These discounts are considered a flow through and passed directly to
our clients to reduce their project image costs.
Currently image cost make up a substantial part of overall project pricing, however over the
next 8 years it is anticipated that up to 22 additional SAR satellites are going to be launched
and many of these satellites are committed to providing low cost or free SAR data. As a result,
in the future projects that require a large number of satellite images will enjoy significant cost
savings.
You suggested that More Aqua Inc. and TRE conduct a pilot study where monolayer films are
created on different reservoirs in California, Texas and China, all lying within a 625 square mile
satellite image.
For a 21 day period at each location daily satellite images will be collected. At the conclusion of
the pilot an analysis will be made on the images to determine the location of the monolayer
film on each of the test site reservoir surface.
This should provide proof-of-concept and will allow a better understanding of the day to day
operational requirements of data interpretation and reporting.
Eventual monitoring of monolayer films from space will enable More Aqua to inject monolayer
in areas not covered by the film to assure complete coverage of the reservoir surface.
