Environmental Compliance and Permitting

Regulatory Requirements: Governments and regulatory bodies often require detailed assessments of forest resources to grant permits for exploration, drilling, or pipeline installation. An accurate inventory ensures compliance with environmental regulations.

Impact Assessments: An accurate inventory helps in conducting environmental impact assessments (EIAs), identifying the potential effects of projects on forest ecosystems.

Biodiversity and Conservation

Habitat Protection: Comprehensive forest inventories provide data on biodiversity, including the presence of endangered or protected species, which can influence project planning to avoid sensitive areas.

Offset Programs: Accurate data supports reforestation or conservation efforts to offset deforestation or ecosystem disruptions caused by industrial activities.

Risk Management

Fire and Erosion Risks: Forest data helps identify high-risk areas for natural hazards, such as wildfires or soil erosion, which can impact infrastructure and operations.

Water Resources: Forests influence water cycles and soil stability, which are critical for managing the risks to pipelines, roads, and other assets.

Land Use Planning

Minimizing Disruption: A high resolution forest inventory helps in selecting sites that minimize deforestation and disruption to local ecosystems.

Infrastructure Placement: HRIS supports optimal placement of infrastructure such as pipelines, roads, and facilities to reduce environmental and social impacts.

Corporate Responsibility and Public Relations

Sustainability Goals: Many companies in the energy sector have sustainability commitments. Accurate forest data allows them to measure and report on deforestation, carbon offsets, and reforestation initiatives.

Community Relations: HRIS enables transparent reporting based on accurate data builds trust with local communities and stakeholders.

Economic Value Assessment

Timber Valuation: Comprehensive forest inventories assess the economic value of timber and other forest products, which can be factored into compensation or land-use planning.

Carbon Credits: An accurate inventory supports the calculation of carbon storage for participation in carbon trading markets or meeting net-zero commitments.

Operational Efficiency

Infrastructure Protection: Our forest data helps maintain right-of-way (ROW) clearances and monitor tree growth that could interfere with pipelines or power lines.

Logistics and Access: HRIS identifies forest density and type (among many other attributes) which assists in planning roads, drilling pads, and other access routes.
