 GIS Inside an Independent Oil and Gas Company Track: Petroleum Author(s): Brad Kaufman Kerr-McGee is a large, independent oil and gas company that produces and explores for hydrocarbons around the world. It has offices in Houston, Oklahoma City, Denver, Aberdeen and Beijing. The majority of oil and gas data has a spatial component and is expensive to acquire. This paper/presentation will illustrate how Kerr-McGee uses a variety of Esri technologies to help geoscientists find and map data quickly and efficiently. Using Esri technologies such as ArcSDE, ArGIS, and ArcIMS we have created a spatial data warehouse that houses more than 100 ArcSDE layers of exploration data for wells, land/lease outlines, seismic lines and polygons, culture, and more. This paper outlines how this was accomplished and provides real-world examples on how GIS has improved mapping, data searching, and knowledge capture at Kerr-McGee.
