Discovering new sources of petroleum ahead of the competition is one of the key ways to staying successful in the petroleum industry. A GIS can help you evaluate the potential for oil in promising locations.

Exploration often requires analysis of satellite imagery, digital aerial photo mosaics, seismic surveys, surface geology studies, subsurface and cross section interpretations and images, well locations, and existing infrastructure information. A GIS can relate these data elements to the location in question in map form and allow you to overlay, view, and manipulate the data to analyze and understand their potential.

GIS technology today allows us to manage the spatial components of these everyday petroleum "business objects," such as leases, wells, pipelines, environmental concerns, facilities, and retail outlets, in the corporate database, and apply appropriate geographic analysis efficiently in a desktop-focused application.

Exploration and Production
Map lease and ownership data visually to thoroughly analyze the potential for finding new or extending play potential.

Facilities Management
Use the power of new cartographic and analytical tools to display subsurface data that can be combined with an array of other datasets.

Retail Planning
Add transient or non-core data directly off the Web without loading into the corporate dataset and keep data up-to-date without the need to host it locally.
