1 Connecting the Dots A Model for Enterprise Wide Excellence in Spatial Management

2 IHS Users Group Presentation Finding and producing hydrocarbons Mapping Sciences Making and Communicating with Maps Sources and Software Applications Education Audit/Review Holistic Approach = Enterprise Wide Spatial Management

3 Location, Location, Location Mapping Some Concepts Treasure Island Petroleum Industry is Location Dependent! Latitude Southeast 54 paces Southwest 42 paces X Longitude

4 Geodesy Reference Surfaces h H N Normal to Ellipsoid Normal to Geoid N=h-H Ellipsoid Geoid Terrain b a Geoid Equipotential surface which approximates to MSL Ellipsoid Surface where Computations are made 1/f = a/(a-b)

5 Geodetic Coordinate Systems Ellipsoid Greenwich λp Height hp φp P Zp Relationships X = (ν + h) * cos φ * cos λ Y = (ν + h) * cos φ * sin λ Z = [(b 2 * ν/a 2 ) + h] * sin φ Equator Yp Xp (NB Some older datums have a reference (0º) meridian at another place than Greenwich)

6 Some Core Science A Geodetic Datum is an ellipsoid of revolution attached to the earth at some point. Geoid Earth s irregular shape (terrain) Datums (Geographic CRS) Regional Global (satellite) Datum transform Geoidal height

7 Geodesy Datum Shifts Ellipsoid Ellipsoid A (Global Datum) Ellipsoid B (Regional Datum) Greenwich Height hp P λp φp Zp P Equator Yp Xp Geocenter Y Z X If the geographical area is small, then [Xg] [ X] [Xb] [Yg] = [ Y] + [Yb] [Zg] [ Z] [Zb]

8 Hierarchy of Mapping Ellipsoid Greenwich λp Equator Yp Φp hp P Zp Xp Projected CRS is a derivative of the Datum (Geog CRS) Easting, Northing, Elevation (above MSL) stable Unstable w/o Datum Datum (includes ellipsoid) is the Foundation X,Y,Z Cartesian and Lat Long, Ht

10 Position Dependent Functions, Activities, Relationships Property Lease Loading Drilling Facilities Pipelines Reservoir Management Production GIS/Mapping Management Requirement Reformatting, Re-referencing and Re-presenting Spatial

11 Random Selection M Datums per country, N sets per Project gives Random Chance 1:M*N 4 Datums, 5 sets Chances of getting Datum 100% right 1:20 (5%) Adding P Projections gives Random Chance 1:M*N*P 4 Projections Chances of getting Datum and Projection right 1:80 (1.25%) With some prior knowledge/input Fairly realistic chances are 2 datums, 2 projections and 5 datasets giving a chance of 1:20 (5%) of getting all 5 datasets properly mapped.

30 The Environment Great workforce efficiency due to. Distributed computing Multiple users Multiple sources of data/internet access Higher risk due to New data in satellite, legacy data in local datums Low training budgets/poor understanding Little internal and supplier oversight Few procedures So who is minding the spatial data store?

35 Benefits of Good Spatial Management Lease costs Ownership Value in geophysical data Correct Loading of processed data Better drilling decisions Properly placed wells Better appraisals Pipelines and facilities properly planned and placed Staff time spent on core competencies Improved reserve replacement Lower finding cost Increased value of the asset

36 Example Cost Summary Lease $ 20,000,000 AP $ 10,000,000 $1,000,000 Management $1,000,000 Drilling the Well $ 12,000,000 Facilities $100,000,000 Putting the well in the right place.. priceless

37 There are Some Things Money Can t Buy.! For Everything Else, there s Poor POSITIONING is a HIGH RISK activity!!!
