Short summary
The Patos-Marinza oil field in Central Albania (40.71° N, 19.61° E) is one of the largest onshore oil fields in Europe. More than 7 million oil barrels are extracted per year from sandstone formations in western Albania. The regional seismicity culminated in December 2016, when a seismic sequence developed in the oil field, triggering the opening of a public inquiry. We take advantage of the Sentinel-1 radar images to show that a strong subsidence, probably induced, is taking place in the field.
