GIS Strategy and Design

There has been major progress in recent years in integrating spatial information systems with existing oil and gas data management and geological interpretation systems, to the extent that GIS has started to become a critical part of the technology employed in the E&P business.

However, despite growing maturity in underlying GIS technology and increasing industry awareness, it is perceived that the spatial component of data is still under-utilised.  Many E&P companies are struggling to define the role of GIS in their business. Most see GIS as a specialist function rather than an integrated component of the business and few companies are extracting maximum value from their investment in spatial data and analysis systems.

At Exprodat we believe that many petroleum companies and organisations struggle to realise the benefits that GIS technology can deliver because they have not developed a coherent GIS strategy. Without having a suitable GIS strategy in place it is not only unlikely that you'll implement a system that truly meets your organisation's goals, but it is also difficult to build on past GIS projects successfully.

At Exprodat we have successfully implemented many E&P GIS projects, and using our collective years of experience of working in the petroleum GIS sector have developed a strategy model to ensure that the systems we implement meet our client's real business needs moving forwards.
