We sometimes find datasets containing attribute data that we can’t use effectively because the data is not stored correctly. A common example is a field containing dates where the field type is defined as ‘Text’. This results in difficulties filtering the dataset by date, e.g. “display data older than X”. In this petroleum GIS tip we take the common…
The UK government launched its 26th offshore oil and gas licensing round last week. The round includes new “Frontier” licences, with an extended nine-year exploration term, as well as some new tax breaks to stimulate activity. Blocks are being offered in all UK territorial waters for the first time in 12 years. It’s a massive…
With 48 toolbars at version 9.3.1 ArcGIS Desktop has a lot of hidden functionality that many users may be unaware of. One such toolbar is the Animation toolbar which allows you to animate data to help identify spatial trends through time. The functionality is not obvious at first but ArcGIS Desktop’s integrated Help covers animation in…
In part 1 of “How big is your training gain?”, I provided a simple spreadsheet model that readers could have a play with and visualise their potential training gain. Well how did it go? In part 2 I’d like to present and discuss a couple scenarios that I came up with. Scenario Modelling Scenario 1 –…
As if running a GIS business wasn’t hard enough work, I recently signed up for a part-time MSc course, run by UNIGIS. One of the fun things about a course like this is that it takes you in to areas you wouldn’t normally venture. One of the exercises I’ve just completed was to identify potential landfill…
Attribute Domains for ArcGIS File Geodatabases are arguably the most important data quality tool for geoscientists creating play fairway mapping data. As such we thought it would be useful if the next in our series of GIS Tips explained how to use them. There are probably three types of ArcGIS users reading this: Users that already understand…
