Author(s): Robert Young
Urbanized drilling operations has created more value for GIS professionals as the on-going changes in municipal ordinances and other regulatory agencies are applied for compliance & permitting. This involves buffering when choosing a well site and pipeline routes in populated urbanized areas. The use of high resolution aerial data, along with Survey Grade data of boundary lines, physical improvements and other hazards that create the criteria for location of facilities saves time and money.
An accurate base map of the parcel fabric is a must and this is provided by on the ground surveys. In addition, the location of buildings, and other improvements as well as natural objects like streams and rivers help the decision making process when located and buffers drawn to show the potential drillable sites for wells and the potential routes for running pipelines with the least impact on the environment and most cost efficient route.
