Who Should Attend
This course will be useful to geologists, geophysicists, engineers, geotechnologists and environmental managers from integrated oil companies and small businesses, and anyone else interested in learning more about GIS technologies. It is also useful for individuals who would like to know about geospatial technologies and how they are being used.
Overview
Morning: Scott Sires / Gerald Bartz
GIS Basics
- Where GIS is today
- How GIS is easier to use than ever before
- Software used to process and manage GIS (open source, shareware, and commercial solutions)
- How GIS can integrate data: field information, pipeline, geology, images • Sources of information (free, low-cost, proprietary)
- Metadata
- Classifying attributes
- producing horizons
- road conditions
- seismic lines
GIS Applications:
- Data mining to identify problems, find overlooked resources
- 3D and 2D visualization
- Spatial analysis
Afternoon: Jingyao Gong, Ph.D.; Panel of Industry GIS Users
Low-Cost Source of High-Quality GIS Information - AAPG:
- AAPG’s GIS Data Repository
