Using ArcView GIS to Manage Mineral Management Lease Service Data for Amoco Offshore Exploration Teams
Defining Issue: Constantly changing offshore lease data and the lack of a PC-based application interface to interactively analyze and update the data. GIS Solution: The technical support group developed a PC-based application to assist land negotiators in maintaining and reporting updated lease information. Methodology: The Lease Query System (LQS) application enables users to interactively query offshore blocks and analyze lease data. The outstanding features of this application include Windows on-line help documentation as the interface, updating lease data using MSACCESS through ODBC, analyzing the data on the fly using scripts, and generating reports and charts for the selected data set using Excel spreadsheet or Visual Basic Crystal reports using Dynamic Data Exchange. Software: The application was written using Avenue, Excel, MS Access, Visual Basic, and Windows help. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the application and its functions as well as to review the technical challenges
encountered during the development and integration of the different software products.
