What Omanos Analytics does

Omanos Analytics is a Glasgow-based space technology social enterprise founded in 2017 by Celia Davies and Steve Greenland, delivering downstream satellite data analysis services that combine automated image processing with human analysis and community intelligence to identify and monitor the social and environmental impacts of critical infrastructure projects in mining, hydrocarbons, logging, agriculture, sugar and rubber plantations. The company has supported work on issues including forced displacement, water access, crop damage, deforestation, and mobility, with data products that have been used in a World Bank IFC arbitration case and in advocacy against financing of Turkmenistan oil operations. Its primary customers are NGOs and advocacy organisations, government authorities, and development finance institutions requiring verified, independent satellite evidence for legal, regulatory, and advocacy contexts.

The technical platform integrates multiple open satellite data sources — Sentinel-1 SAR, Sentinel-2 optical, and Landsat — with ground data collection, participatory mapping, community interviews, and sensor measurements through the CSI-EO (Community-Sourced Intelligence for Earth Observation) smartphone application. Deliverables are produced in formats ranging from legal briefings and dashboards to technical reports, tailored to non-technical audiences, and the methodology is supplemented by published data ethics principles developed in consultation with global communities.

The business operates a professional services / bespoke consulting revenue model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated through project-based engagements scoped to client requirements, including impact assessments, capacity-building workshops, and tailored analyses, delivered via direct client engagement and partner referrals with no self-serve or e-commerce channels. The company is a small multidisciplinary team of fewer than 10 people, founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investment, registered in the United Kingdom, and operates globally across Africa, Central Asia, and Europe.

Products and services

• Tailored Satellite Data Analysis A bespoke Earth observation consulting service that processes and analyzes satellite imagery (Sentinel 1 SAR, Sentinel 2 optical, Landsat) tailored to client objectives and delivered in formats such as legal briefings, dashboards, and technical reports. It is offered to NGOs, governments, and investors needing verified analysis for advocacy, compliance, and decision-making.
• Local Intelligence A consulting offering that captures community intelligence — including interviews, participatory mapping, and local knowledge — and integrates it with satellite-derived evidence to provide context-rich assessments of social and environmental impacts. It is intended for clients working with affected communities, such as NGOs and advocacy organisations.
• Ground Data A field-data collection and integration service that captures noise, air, and water pollution sampling and other ground measurements, and aligns them with satellite observations for verification of remote sensing findings. It is used for projects requiring multi-source verification such as geothermal monitoring and peatland/forestry restoration.
• Impact Assessment An assessment service that combines satellite analysis, local intelligence, and ground data to evaluate environmental and social impacts of infrastructure projects in mining, hydrocarbons, logging, agriculture, and related sectors. It is intended for governments, investors, and NGOs needing baseline monitoring and compliance verification of project impacts.
• Capacity Building A training and workshop service that builds client capability to apply Earth observation data in policy, research, and operational contexts. It is delivered to NGOs, government authorities, and research institutions seeking to integrate satellite-derived insights into their programmes.

Direct peers

• RS Metrics: Provides satellite-based ESG and environmental risk analytics for financial institutions and corporations. Closely comparable to Omanos in offering satellite-derived impact data for institutional stakeholders, though with less emphasis on community-sourced ground intelligence.
• Ecometrica: Provides environmental intelligence and ESG data services combining satellite Earth observation with sustainability reporting. Direct overlap on environmental impact assessment and EO-backed compliance/verification services.

Broad incumbents

• Planet Labs: Operates the largest commercial Earth-observation satellite constellation and offers downstream analytics, including for ESG and deforestation monitoring. Comparable in underlying satellite-imagery feedstock but vastly broader and more productised than Omanos' bespoke service model.
• Maxar Technologies: Major provider of high-resolution satellite imagery and geospatial analytics. Comparable underlying EO capability (Sentinel-2/Landsat-class imagery plus derived analytics) for environmental and humanitarian monitoring.
• BlackSky: Delivers high-revisit satellite imagery and AI-driven geospatial analytics, including ESG and infrastructure monitoring. Overlaps with Omanos' downstream analytics layer applied to development and advocacy projects.
• Airbus Defence and Space (Intelligence): Delivers commercial satellite imagery (SPOT, Pleiades) and derived analytics. Comparable in deploying EO to environmental and humanitarian applications, though at a vastly larger scale and broader portfolio.

Emerging players

• Kayrros: Applies satellite data to environmental and energy intelligence, including methane and oil-spill detection. Comparable to Omanos in using EO for advocacy-grade environmental claims, with overlap in Turkmenistan/Caspian oil-spill analysis use cases.
• Sentry (Carbon Mapper / Planet partnership): Provides global methane and environmental emissions detection via satellite. Comparable to Omanos on anomaly detection (e.g., oil leaks, emissions) used for advocacy and regulatory action.
• Orbital Insight: Applies AI to multi-source satellite imagery for ESG, supply-chain and infrastructure analytics. Comparable in offering institutional-grade EO-driven insights, particularly for NGOs and impact investors.

Others

• Global Fishing Watch: Nonprofit that uses satellite data to monitor human activity (fishing, later infrastructure and ecosystems) for accountability and advocacy. Comparable thematically in delivering community/advocacy-facing satellite evidence platforms.
