“This combination of video and map is very powerful” listed as “boulder next to
This was
pipe”
“We were able to confirm the design in a couple in reality it is a 3 Ton quarried
of minutes”
block that was dragged
“We can manually verify the offshore survey and trawl PL-B by a fishing net
to data ourselves”
“It’s totally intuitive to understand what is happening after seeing the map”

28. Key Messages
Without Maps and Coordinates there is no Oil Industry !
GeoInformation must be valued & “bought into” from the outset
Integration is everything ( via XYZ, mE, mN Lat, Lng etc)
Importance of early and continued buy in during the E&P Lifecycle
Web based Mapping is an excellent “viral” tool and raises
awareness quickly ( no training, software installs etc)
Standards are critical for sharing & acquiring data
Currently recruiting a GIS vacancy we have in Norway
