Roadmap  towards  an    Explora0on  GIS  Strategy  Plan  

S0g-­‐Arne  Kristoffersen  -­‐  2014  

Introduction

Based on previous and ongoing GIS related work, I have put together this presentation to give some ideas to how a GIS Strategy can lead to added value to the organization. In addition I hope to be able to convey a message that GIS is a valuable contributor to the Exploration's reaching the goals set out by the Exploration Management.

GIS has proven to many Exploration organizations that is a valuable integrator making the organization better communicate and exploit ideas created within the organization.

My hope is that more people and companies realize the potential of GIS as a data integrator, planning and visualize tool.

5.  Future  State  –  Vision  and  Roadmap  

A  GIS  environment  where  all  spa4al  data  is  managed  according  to  shared  standards  and  is  of  high  quality,  integrated,  evergreen,  trusted  and  easily  accessible  by  users  in  all  

func4ons  by  means  of  a  desktop,  web  and  mobile  GIS  technology  available  horizontally  across  the  organisa4on.  

The  vision  will  support  a  step  change  in  the  way  Explora4on  organise,  

integrate,  analyse  and  use  spa4al  data.  

The  vision  will  enable  Explora4on  to  achieve  high  growth  and  will  help  the  

organisa4on  to  fulfil  its  role  as  a  major  oil  and  gas  supplier  to  the  global    

energy  markets.

…contribu)ng  to  key  business  benefits  

•  XXX  

Outcome    Benefit  Improved  project  control  and  

governance  Decrease  project  risks  and  manage  costs,  reduce  duplica1on  of  effort.  Increase  data  visibility,  use,  informa1on  knowledge  within  Explora1on.  

Increased  access  to  GIS  technology   GIS   technology   enabling   processes   horizontally   within   the   organisa1on.   Increasing  ROI  for  investment  in  GIS  technology  and  support.  

Increased  access  to  data   Leverage  value  of  data  acquisi1on  costs  and  reduced  1me  wasted  searching  for  data.    

Common  standards,  procedures  and  workflows  

Reduce   implementa1on   costs   and   reduce   technical/opera1onal   risks.   Streamlined  data  exchange  and  re-­‐use  of  value-­‐added  datasets  across  Explora1on.  

Improved  data  quality   Decrease  technical/opera1onal  risk  and  uncertainty;  improve  user  confidence  in  data  and  system.  Enhance  quality  of  the  decision  making  processes.  

Standardised  GIS  technology  porbolio   Reduce  cost  of  ownership  and  infrastructure/technical  support  costs.  

Extract  cri0cal  informa0on  from  data   GIS  to  enable  business   intelligence  from  spa1al  data,  providing  the  management   in  Explora1on  with  high-­‐value  informa1on  key  for  the  decision-­‐making  process.  Achieve  higher  efficiency  of  explora1on  process,  allowing  KPIs  and   targets   to  be  met   in   the  long-­‐term.  

Centralised,  skilled  GIS  support   Reduce   costs   of   support   provided   by   Explora1on   to   end-­‐user   in  mul1ple   func1ons  across  the  business.  

Improved  access  to  training   Increase   value   extracted   from   GIS   through   accelerated   learning,   reduces   risk  associated  with  incorrect  handling  of  spa1al  data  and  GIS  technology.  

Improved  internal/external  communica0on  

Share   best   prac1ces,   reduce   technical   risk   associated   with   internally   inconsistent  workflows,  and  increase  efficiency  through  shared  standards.  

6.  Benefits  &  Risks  

GIS contributing to key business benefits

Evergreen  data  Enable  users  to  access  the  most  up-­‐to-­‐date,  high  quality  spa1al  datasets  to  ensure  enhanced  interpreta1on  and  reduced  risk.  

Efficiency  of  explora0on  processes  

Enable   increased   explora1on   efficiency   and   effec1veness   by   focussing  resources   on   the  most   produc1ve  por1ons  of   the  basins   and  plays   in   the  regions   of   interest.   Explora1on   processes   to   provide   answers   to   the  following  ques1ons:  

•  Where  to  explore  and  which  plays  or  play  segments  to  target?  

•  What   is   the  undiscovered  poten1al   (YTF)   in   the   target  plays  or  play  segments?    

Prospect  Porbolio  Prudent   maintenance   and   op1miza1on   of   quality   oil   and   gas   explora1on  prospect  inventory  and  more  advanced  analy1cs  to  improve  performance.
