A few years ago, I carried out a personal initiative project while working at UkrGazVydobuvannya (Oil&Gas).

In 2019–2020, I performed a full land-cover analysis for all company license areas using openly available Copernicus Global Land Cover data.

I built two variants of the analysis based on FAO UN land-cover classifications and calculated Shannon diversity indices for each license area.
Later, I expanded the work and produced detailed plots and spatial summaries for every site.

These analytics were used by both field personnel and upper management — for general environmental understanding and for environmental impact assessment (EIA) related to the company’s production activities.

Everything was done using open data and the R language.
