"Spatializing" the Enterprise: GIS Web Portals for Major Petroleum Companies
Track: Petroleum
Author(s): Sameer Bandhu, Michael Kennedy

Massive efforts have been expended over the last several years in streamlining and integrating exploration and production data. The problem has now turned into how to serve that streamlined data back to the user community in an easy-to-understand, user-friendly, low-maintenance, high accessibility, collaborative, and enterprise-wide deployment. An easily deployable thin client web portal with a GIS interface can greatly help visualize complex data sets and spatially enable the enterprise. Intelligent application launches from a map can bring real collaborative benefits to data management.



The current paper addresses the constituents and components of a successful ArcIMS based GIS web portal that helps make critical business decisions and saves money for major Oil and Gas companies. Strategies on how to evaluate and make a decision on GIS web portals for an Oil and Gas Company will be discussed as well.
