Abstract
GIS-VIPA: An Information System for Decision Making in Hydrocarbon ExplorationTrack: Petroleum
Author(s): Violeta Taylhardat, Gustavo Hernandez
An information management tool for Hydrocarbon Exploration Planning has been considered a fundamental element in Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. VIsión PAís, a technical unit of PDVSA Exploration, is responsible for the identification and characterization of new hydrocarbon opportunities. A validation of data in terms of disciplines and reliability is necessary before loading the information. The entire process is carried out centered upon a GIS containing geological, geophysical, and environmental data. It is capable of rendering a three- dimensional view of exploration targets, oriented toward the support of risk and economic evaluation for recognized opportunities and linked to installed interpretation facilities. Products include ArView Spatial Analyst for specific needs. Scale of maps ranges from 1:500,000 to 1:2,000,000.
