9. GIS a Miraculous Tool?
Not always so!!!
Data/Applications Integration is still a big issue!!!
NRDM 2012 - Carlos Gabriel Asato

10. Problems
●
Misuse of the tool
●
Lack of Technological Strategy
–
–
Lack of Objectives
Lack of an technology adoption plan
NRDM 2012 - Carlos Gabriel Asato

11. Problems
●
Misuse of the tool
●
Lack of integration of applications
–
Human Problems
●
●
–
Practices problems
●
●
●
–
Lack of training
Professional Impedance Mismatch
No practice standards
No data standards
No Corporate Fundamental Dataset
– Data Value and Workflows are not well
understood
Technological problems
●
●
Systems do not communicate each other
Systems are not really scalable
NRDM 2012 - Carlos Gabriel Asato

12. Strategic Plan
●
Can GIS help the development of E&P
Business?
●
In Which Areas/Departments?
●
Areas/Departments interaction analysis
●
What will be the company benefits?
●
How the technological adoption process will be
implemented?
NRDM 2012 - Carlos Gabriel Asato

13. The Human Problem
●
Technological Adoption Process
●
Training
●
Professional Impedance Mismatch
NRDM 2012 - Carlos Gabriel Asato

14. Taking Ride of The Human Problem
●
Professional Impedance Mismatch
●
Different Practices
●
Cultural Problems
●
Different Language
GIS Technology is Multidisciplinary!!!!
And people needs to know how to speak with
each other
NRDM 2012 - Carlos Gabriel Asato

15. Good Practices and GIS
●
Data Quality
●
●
●
Positional accuracy
Attribute/model accuracy
Corporate GIS System
●
Fundamental Data Sets
●
Data Standards (ISO TC 211)
●
Practice Standards (ISO 9001)
●
Know the Data Workflow
NRDM 2012 - Carlos Gabriel Asato

16. The Technological Challenge
●
Valuable Data cannot be used easily by
everyone in the corporation
●
System and Data Integration is difficult
●
Only few persons knows the data exists
●
No control over the received data (lack of
standard for data delivery and reception)
NRDM 2012 - Carlos Gabriel Asato

17. New Technologies
Interoperability in GIS Systems
●
Interoperability
●
Technological neutral
●
Schemes based on XML
●
About data transfer and data services
●
Made at different levels
●
Technology that permits diverse systems and
software can exchange information and
services.
NRDM 2012 - Carlos Gabriel Asato

18. Interoperability in GIS Systems
●
Interoperable information can also..
●
Be transformed to different kind of documents
●
Be analyzed
●
Be compared
●
Integrated

Data are taken from different sources
●
●
Application maintenance and enhancement
without user notice
You do not need to ask for special permission
and coordination if you have to create a specific
application.

34. Conclusions
●
●
GIS Technology is part of the E&P data and
application infrastructure
A GIS Project needs:
●
Strategic Plan
●
Deal with multidisciplinary working groups
●
Develop best practices on standards
●
●
Define a corporate system and the data
workflow
Use the best and newest information
technologies like: interoperability and web
based systems
