file type, format and geodetic classifications, and organization. Data can then be presented to EnSoCo's Geodetic Utilities for translation, transformation and process setup to perform correlation with other assets (e.g. seismic attributes) using MatchMaker and MatchMaker Spatial in preparation for positional data loading, The system can either front-end an existing seismic data management system or can be used in conjunction with EnSoCo's new Spatial Data Management System; being jointly developed and designed with Integrated Informatics Inc.

meeting pointing out the benefits of using high resolution imagery for performing well location audits. The paper showcased errors in well locations by showing photo identifiable well heads and, or well pads relative to the recorded positions. Two areas in Illinois and Texas were evaluated yielding results showing miss-locations exceeding hundreds of feet in many cases. For a copy of the paper, please visit the Americas Petroleum Survey Group website at APSG . Other benefits from using high resolution imagery and Lidar data were shown.
generation and loading of 2D navigation data. Following completion and evaluation EnSoCo has been awarded an initial large scale data loading project involving approximately 25,000 navigation lines. EnSoCo is utilizing its newly developed MatchMaker software to guarantee correlation with existing seismic assets.
correlation between seismic and navigation attributes called MatchMaker. With the tool, we are able to review seismic line names and attributes for possible matches to navigation line names and attributes. One aspect of building a complete seismic data management system is merging the navigation positioning data with the seismic information. This is often difficult; especially in legacy 2D data due to the differences in line naming conventions, shot point ranges and other indirectly correlated attributes. MatchMaker utilizes multiple matching schemas to find exact and probable matches in comparing two different data sources. The software also uses a “Directed Mapping” approach to allow the user to spatially compare lines; which may have multiple full or partial attribute matches. Items such as contractor, year of acquisition, type of acquisition are used as additional criteria for identifying possible matches. Inputs can be any combination of ASCII navigation data, spreadsheets, shapefiles or database exports.
development company with offices in Calgary and Houston, Texas. EnSoCo has contracted Integrated Informatics to develop a number of ArcGIS plug-ins in support of its processing requirements during the past year and will extend this relationship to include future products and joint developments; including EnSoCo’s proprietary Coordinate Data Mining software.
EnSoCo announces Coordinate Data Mining at APSG EnSoCo presented a paper on Coordinate Data Mining at the spring meeting of the Americas Petroleum Survey Group (www.APSG.info ). The paper was part of a series of presentations on adding value to positioning assets in spatial data management. Copies of the presentations are available to APSG members via the APSG website. EnSoCo intends to offer data mining services later this summer following testing and completion of the software. EnSoCo completes 2D seismic study for a major oil company EnSoCo has completed a study of legacy land 2D line accuracy using high resolution imagery and Digital Terrain Model data (DTM). Selected 2D lines were posted on high resolution imagery with highly accurate DTM contours to evaluate positional accuracy of vintage 2D seismic positioning. The imagery was provided by Spatial Energy at sub-meter resolution along with 5 meter DTM elevation data. Evidence of miss-positioning was demonstrated in both visual photo-identifiable features as well as elevation misties to the original legacy survey results. EnSoCo employed fly-through movie technology to follow long regional 2D lines in a highly mountainous environment. The benefit of using high resolution imagery and DTM data was successfully demonstrated as a means of validating positional information. EnSoCo completes pilot study with Spatial Energy EnSoCo has completed a well accuracy study for a major oil company in conjunction with Spatial Energy using high resolution satellite and aerial imagery. EnSoCo was tasked with identifying and classifying well locations based on photo-identification. Using ground control stations to verify ortho-rectification and geodetic accuracy, well features were compared to stated well locations. Additionally other culture such as roads, legacy imagery and DTM data were used to compile confidence and accuracy of the wells. Deliverables included well identification, confidence with respect to photo-identifiable features, well access from major roads and a geospatial database with results. EnSoCo enters into pilot study with Surdex EnSoCo and Surdex have entered into a pilot study using high resolution aerial imagery and LIDAR data obtained in Madison County, Illinois. The project will entail evaluating photo-identifiable objects and classifying content (wells, pipelines, roads, parcels) and their accuracy and confidence with respect to current information within the county. In exchange for providing the pilot results to the county, EnSoCo and Surdex will utilize the data to demonstrate the benefits of high resolution imagery and LIDAR in Oil and Gas GIS operations to our respective clients. NEWS – April, 2010 EnSoCo awarded 3D project by ExxonMobil EnSoCo has been awarded a large marine 3D navigation re-processing project for a legacy 3D survey. The project will involve re-processing raw sensor information recorded on legacy field recorded raw navigation tapes. EnSoCo will also provide seismic first break picking and incorporation within the final network adjustment runs. We will also employ our proprietary pseudo compass modeling for enhanced streamer shaping. NEWS – March, 2010 EnSoCo provides presentation material for GIGS workshops EnSoCo has provided material to Cain and Barnes for the 2010 workshops being held in Kuala Lumpur, London and Houston. EnSoCo’s participation includes presentation material relating to Spatial Data Management and Metadata. EnSoCo’s John Conner is expected to present this talk in Houston. The talks are scheduled for May, 26th, June 16th and June 24th respectively. Please contact Cain and Barnes, LLC for further details. NEWS – February, 2010 EnSoCo kicks off pilot projects to demonstrate “ground truthing” of oil and gas assets using high resolution imagery. EnSoCo has entered into a cooperative agreement with Spatial Imagery of Denver Colorado, a leading provider of high quality satellite imagery to proof the concept of verifying well and other photo-identifiable assets through the use of high resolution imagery. EnSoCo will devise a ground truth schema for categorizing assets and providing a quantifiable measure of accuracy with respect to known positions. EnSoCo has also entered into a pilot program to do a similar evaluation with Surdex Corporation, who supplies industry leading aerial photography and LIDAR data to both government and industry entities. Surdex is supplying high resolution imagery and LIDAR data over several domestic areas for evaluation of well location and asset classification services. NEWS – January, 2010 EnSoCo completes the GIGS evaluation of ESRI’s ArcView 9.3.1 EnSoCo has completed the testing and review of ArcView 9.3.1. The results of the OGP tests, with conclusions and recommendations were provided to Cain and Barnes, LLC and to the JIP Executive Committee. EnSoCo enters 7th year of providing Anadarko with seismic positioning data QC and data loading EnSoCo continues to provide ongoing services to Anadarko Petroleum in support of 2D and 3D seismic positioning data loading. |
