Key Messages

           Without Maps and Coordinates there is no Oil Industry !
           GeoInformation must be valued & “bought into” from the outset
           Integration is everything ( via XYZ, mE, mN Lat, Lng etc)
           Importance of early and continued buy in during the E&P Lifecycle
           Web based Mapping is an excellent “viral” tool and raises
           awareness quickly ( no training, software installs etc)
           Standards are critical for sharing & acquiring data
           Currently recruiting a GIS vacancy we have in Norway
