Objectives● Application of GIS in E&P● Impact of GIS technology in data management

(good practices).● Better use of GIS tools/technology

( advantages, problems and how to take ride of..)


The Power of Geo-Information+

The Power of Management(group dynamics and data workflow)

+Internet

(interoperability)


Geo-Information=

Data Integration

Geo-Information=

Facilitate Communication

Geo-Information=

Data Modelling


Geo-Information = Data Integration

GIS

BoreholeData

SateliteImages

RDBM

Environmental Data

Geologic Maps

Cartography

Geophysics

Production data

Samples


Geo-Information = Communication ● The Power of Maps as communication tool


Geo-Information = Data Modelling ● Digital Representation of the World

● Properties● Behavior● Relationships

Please follow the rules for best practices!!

ISO TC 211

ISO 19103,19107


E&P Applications● Portfolio Management● Seismic Planning● Exploration● Basin Analysis● Play Analysis● Prospect Analysis● Field Geology● Emergency

Management

● Land Management● Environment

Monitoring● Drilling and Boreholes

Management● Infrastructure

Management● Routing, Vehicle,

Vessel Tracking● Etc,etc,etc.


GIS a Miraculous Tool?

Not always so!!!

Data/Applications Integration is still a big issue!!!


Problems● Misuse of the tool

● Lack of Technological Strategy– Lack of Objectives– Lack of an technology adoption plan


Problems● Misuse of the tool

● Lack of integration of applications– Human Problems

● Lack of training● Professional Impedance Mismatch

– Practices problems● No practice standards● No data standards● No Corporate Fundamental Dataset

– Data Value and Workflows are not well understood

– Technological problems● Systems do not communicate each other● Systems are not really scalable


Strategic Plan● Can GIS help the development of E&P

Business?● In Which Areas/Departments?● Areas/Departments interaction analysis● What will be the company benefits?● How the technological adoption process will be

implemented?


The Human Problem● Technological Adoption Process● Training● Professional Impedance Mismatch


Taking Ride of The Human Problem● Professional Impedance Mismatch

● Different Practices● Cultural Problems● Different Language

GIS Technology is Multidisciplinary!!!!

And people needs to know how to speak with each other


Good Practices and GIS● Data Quality

● Positional accuracy● Attribute/model accuracy

● Corporate GIS System● Fundamental Data Sets● Data Standards (ISO TC 211)● Practice Standards (ISO 9001)● Know the Data Workflow


The Technological Challenge ● Valuable Data cannot be used easily by

everyone in the corporation● System and Data Integration is difficult● Only few persons knows the data exists● No control over the received data (lack of

standard for data delivery and reception)


New TechnologiesInteroperability in GIS Systems

● Interoperability● Technological neutral● Schemes based on XML● About data transfer and data services● Made at different levels● Technology that permits diverse systems and

software can exchange information and services.


Interoperability in GIS Systems● Interoperable information can also..

● Be transformed to different kind of documents● Be analyzed● Be compared● Integrated


Popular Services and Standards● GeoRSS

● Georeferenced News

● OGC-GeoSMS● Ubiquious SMS

● OGC-KML (Google Earth)

● OGC-WMS● Maps

● OGS-WFS● Vector Data

● OGC-WCS● Raster Data


Geoscience Information● EPSG● GeoSciML● Ground Water ML (GWML)● Exploration & Mining Markup Language

(XMML)● ..and list is continuos growing


Industry Information Models“Digital oilfield of the future”

● WITSML● Drilling.

● PRODML● Production

● RESQML● Reservoir


Industry Information Models ● Public Petroleum Data Model (PPDM)● Pipeline Open Data Standard (PODS)● Esri Data Models

● Pipeline Data Model (APDM)● Geology Data Model


Applications


Data Access

A Map with BGS geology boreholes along the channel tunnel and BRGM geology boreholes in the north of France

On-Line geology from providers


Information behaves likea single dataset!!!

OneGeology Europe


Information can be transformed and analyzed


Transformed to Multiple Formats


Impact of Web Systems● Everybody loves web!!!● Everybody is connected● Low resistance● Integrated to current main work stream.


Not Only Web MapsBut Also Web Applications


Interoperability and Web Applications

● Easy to develop● Data are taken from different sources● Application maintenance and enhancement

without user notice● You do not need to ask for special permission

and coordination if you have to create a specific application.


Not only everybody but also everything will be connected

● Internet of Things● Sensor Web (OGC-SWE, SensorML)● Observation & Measurements (OGC-O&M)● GPS (Location GML)● Augmented Reality


Great Advantage of New Platforms● Web Platform● Interoperability Platform


Conclusions● GIS Technology is part of the E&P data and

application infrastructure● A GIS Project needs:

● Strategic Plan● Deal with multidisciplinary working groups● Develop best practices on standards● Define a corporate system and the data

workflow● Use the best and newest information

technologies like: interoperability and web based systems
