 Spatially Enabling Exploration and Production Data Using PPDM Standards Track: Petroleum Author(s): Trudy Curtis, Wes Baird GIS uses vast amounts of data; it is an integral component of exploration for and production of hydrocarbons. The industry standard data model, PPDM, is used by many Exploration and Production (E&P) companies to store and manage this data. Spatially enabling this data through a GIS allows users to support business activities in powerful ways never before conceived. Through collaboration with industry, the PPDM Association has developed several methodologies and recommendations to spatially enable E&P data, including the creation of a light weight, publicly available E&P geodatabase. These recommendations have been widely implemented; in each case substantial process improvements and cost benefits have been realized. This paper will provide an overview of the recommendations and methodologies developed and highlight some implementations of each methodology. Advantages and disadvantages in each approach will be discussed.
