In the present research we applied time-series of Sentinel-1 satellite images acquired during 2018\u20132020. All ground deformation derivatives showed the continuous subsidence at the Tengiz oilfield with increasing velocity. 3D and 2D decompositions of LOS measurements to vertical movement showed that the Tengiz Oil Field 2018\u20132020 continuously subsided with the maximum annual vertical deformation velocity around 70 mm. Based on the LOS measurements, the maximum annual subsiding velocity was observed to be 60 mm. Cosine corrections of LOS measurements to vertical movement, however, revealed a maximum annual vertical deformation velocity of 77 mm. The vertical deformation confirmed typical patterns of subsidence caused by oil extraction. Detected east-west and north-south horizontal movements at the Tengiz field clearly indicated that the study area crossed by seismic faults is affected by natural tectonic processes. The overall RMSE of 3D decomposed vertical deformation in relationship to LOS measurements and cosine corrections were in the range of 10\u201313 mm and 6\u20138 mm, correspondingly. The results of the present research will support operators of oil and gas fields and also other types of infrastructure to evaluate the actual differences of InSAR ground deformation measurements against the required standards and the precision of measurements depending on the operational needs, timeframes and availability of radar imagery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13132579","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,1]],"date-time":"2021-07-01T12:03:27Z","timestamp":1625141007000},"page":"2579","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Quantitative Assessment of Vertical and Horizontal Deformations Derived by 3D and 2D Decompositions of InSAR Line-of-Sight Measurements to Supplement Industry Surveillance Programs in the Tengiz Oilfield (Kazakhstan)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Emil","family":"Bayramov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mining and Geosciences, Nazarbayev University, 53 Kabanbay Batyr Ave, Nur-Sultan 010000, Kazakhstan"},{"name":"Methods of Geoinformation Science, Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformation Science, Technical University of Berlin, 10623 Berlin, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6051-2249","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manfred","family":"Buchroithner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cartography, Helmholtzstr. 10, 01069 Dresden, Germany"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Kada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Methods of Geoinformation Science, Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformation Science, Technical University of Berlin, 10623 Berlin, Germany"}]},{"given":"Yermukhan","family":"Zhuniskenov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mining and Geosciences, Nazarbayev University, 53 Kabanbay Batyr Ave, Nur-Sultan 010000, Kazakhstan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"37","article-title":"Delineating ground deformation over the Tengizoilfield, Kazakhstan, using the Intermittent SBAS(ISBAS)DInSARalgorithm","volume":"81","author":"Grebby","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int.
