Use of incorrect geodetic parameters can cause major errors in positions of wells, pipelines, and seismic surveys, with significant financial losses and sometimes with HSE risks, as demonstrated by case studies. Awareness of geodetic datums, coordinate reference systems, and map projections is provided via interactive demonstrations and hands-on workshop exercises using the online EPSG Geodetic Registry. Students learn how Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) including GPS work, as well as the resultant accuracies obtainable using different receiver types and data processing techniques. Hands-on GPS exercises show potential errors. Google Earth is examined with focus on its strengths and weaknesses for E&P purposes. Lastly, the importance of geospatial metadata is stressed, since often such metadata is implemented at the end of a project. This critical geospatial data component is discussed with recommendations for best practices using current industry references. "All of the course is good. I want to develop and make more exercises about coordinate transformations!!" - Geophysicist Engineer, Algeria "Liked map projections, project coordinate systems." - Geophysicist, Algeria |
Designed For: Geologists, geophysicists, exploration and production managers, reservoir engineers, drilling engineers, data acquisition and data managers, and GIS specialists. |
