1 Journey to create opportunities in Sierra Leone using Esri s ArcGIS Platform Presented by: John Clark, Getech Group Plc, on behalf of The Petroleum Directorate Sierra Leone

2 Summary The mission of the Petroleum Directorate of Sierra Leone (PDSL) is to facilitate the exploration and development of the country s petroleum resources for the long-term benefit of its people. This presentation shares some lessons from PDSL s journey of developing GIS capabilities and creating GIS solutions to support that mission. ArcGIS now plays a significant role in supporting Sierra Leone s upstream petroleum sector, providing data and intelligence to government departments, stakeholders and potential investors. The recently pre-announced Fourth Licensing Round will continue to use the ArcGIS Platform to promote and manage the licensing round data and support the participants.

3 Sierra Leone- Back Ground Information LOCATION: West Africa bordering the North Atlantic between Guinea and Liberia Sierra Leone CAPITAL: Freetown POPULATION: 7.1 Million (2016 census) LANGUAGES: English (Official) Spoken by 20% of population, Temne (North), Mende (South), Creole (English-based lingua franca spoken/understood by 95% of population Sierra Leone declared Ebola free on 17 th March 2016 by WHO

4 PDSL- What we do Pursuant to executive powers conferred by H.E the President, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma, the Director General of the Petroleum Directorate administers the Petroleum Exploration and Production Act (PEPA), 2011 and reports directly to H.E the President. The Petroleum Directorate under PEPA 2001 has a statutory responsibility for regulating the upstream oil and gas sector, and ensuring that all Operators conducting petroleum operations comply with the applicable Petroleum Legislation and any other regulation(s) or guideline(s) governing upstream oil and gas operations in Sierra Leone.

5 The Challenge To create a platform that enables PDSL to efficiently manage and regulate upstream petroleum data and licensing in Sierra Leone. Started with no ArcGIS licenses and limited GIS experience in department. Engaged Getech Group to build internal competency in ArcGIS and develop a spatial database/information portal. Objective is to attract investment into Sierra Leone using Esri s ArcGIS Platform for showcasing the opportunity.

12 GIS Products: Sierra Leone Digital Atlas (SLEDA) The Sierra Leone Digital Atlas (SLEDA) is a joint project between the Petroleum Directorate and ERCL to create the first digital petroleum atlas, both onshore and offshore, of Sierra Leone. The atlas is based on material from the PDSL archives including released data, and released reports supplemented by ERCL-Getech s regional knowledge. The first release will be available during Q and can be licensed through ERCL (Getech Group company).
