Roadmap

towards

an

Explora0on

GIS
Strategy

Plan

2014

Introduction
Based on previous and ongoing GIS related work, I have put together this
presentation to give some ideas to how a GIS Strategy can lead to added value to the
organization. In addition I hope to be able to convey a message that GIS is a valuable
contributor to the Exploration's reaching the goals set out by the Exploration
Management.
GIS has proven to many Exploration organizations that is a valuable integrator making
the organization better communicate and exploit ideas created within the organization.
My hope is that more people and companies realize the potential of GIS as a data
integrator, planning and visualize tool.

Vision
and
Roadmap

A
GIS
environment
where
all
spa4al
data
is
managed
according
to
shared
standards
and

is
of
high
quality,
integrated,
evergreen,
trusted
and
easily
accessible
by
users
in
all

func4ons
by
means
of
a
desktop,
web
and
mobile
GIS
technology
available
horizontally

across
the
organisa4on.

The
vision
will
support
a

step
change
in
the
way

Explora4on
organise,

integrate,
analyse
and
use

spa4al
data.

The
vision
will
enable

Explora4on
to
achieve
high

growth
and
will
help
the

organisa4on
to
fulﬁl
its
role

as
a
major
oil
and
gas

supplier
to
the
global

energy
markets.
