Key Benefits to the Oil and Gas Industry
- Data standardization: consistent quality across concessions and political boundaries
- Availability: off-the-shelf: quicker deployment, faster rendering; data and applications loaded on company Web Services for access by all company personnel
- Ease of use: works with many oil and gas software tools; simplified workflow
- Cost savings: fewer billable hours from surveyors; precise measurements and planning of pipeline routes mitigate costs associated with certain hazards; less expensive, yet accurate alternative to field surveys for planning and geophysical exploration
- Time savings: faster site location analysis at the desk and fewer trips to site locations which can result in less time while on location and less time consulting surveyors
- Safety considerations: ability to find paths of least resistance by limiting elevation change and avoiding natural hazards that could result in pipeline damage
- Digital over analogue: replacing paper and older engineering drawings with digital GPS-located source/receiver points
- Geospatial positional accurate data: using accurate imagery and elevation data to create accurate infrastructure maps, plan pipeline route selections between drill wells and processing plants, and maintain precise georeferenced locations of building and drill sites
- Prospecting: Rich digital geospatial archive for analysis of potential new ventures
- Reduced IT infrastructure costs: by leveraging Intermap’s scalable global cloud data hosting services, firms are able to minimize costs associated with expanding and maintaining in-house data storage systems
