The emphasis in this course is on developing the ArcGIS for Desktop (ArcView) skills you need to successfully manage coordinate reference system (CRS) issues by encouraging good practice within the oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) sector.
All spatial data is concerned with location on, above or below the surface of the earth and this ‘position’ is governed by the parameters of the CRS employed. If you do not manage CRSs correctly, your data could be incorrectly located increasing the potential for costly disasters and mistakes such as:
Drilling in the wrong location
Damage to existing infrastructure
Incorrect positioning of geohazards
Interpretation and modelling in wrong location
Incorrect reserves calculation
Pre-requisites
Participants attending this course should have completed an introductory ArcGIS for Desktop course or already be familiar with ArcGIS for Desktop or equivalent mapping software. Although petroleum exploration and production sector knowledge is not required, this course is geared towards assisting participants apply the EPSG developed guidelines on the use of CRSs within the ArcGIS for Desktop environment.

If you are sleeping on the Susquehannock Penninsula camping area you must purchase onsite camping. This includes; sharing a tent with a friend, sleeping on a camp table, sleeping in a roof-top tent, using a hammock, etc.
All on-site camping is communal camping, which means you will share a campsite with other campers. Be ready to make some new friends!
Group Camping: You will be assigned a camping spot depending on the size of your group. We cannot guarantee all campers their own group site. Our goals are to have groups seven or larger have their own site, but there are times where we need to combine people and/or groups together. Please make sure your whole group uses the same name so no one gets mixed up or left out of the group. Enter the full group name and not just an acronym. If you do not enter a group name you will be put in individual camping.
Individual Camping: If you don't have a group, that's okay! List yourself as Individual on the next page. You will share a campsite with other individual campers or be put in with a medium-large sized cam group.
There are no specific site reservations at Susquehannock Campground.
Once camping sells out, we will open a waitlist. If someone in your group didn't sign up in time, they can join the waitlist. Encourage your group to sign up ASAP! On-site camping sells out every year.

The Wedding Present zal in 2021 een reeks concertdata spelen om de 30e verjaardag te herdenken van de release van hun cruciale langspeler Seamonsters.
Na de release van Seamonsters - die in 1991 in twaalf dagen werd opgenomen - merkte de krant The Guardian op dat "(Engineer, Steve) Albini has given The Wedding Present considerable weight, with Gedge’s voice trickling between banks of scowling guitars” en nam het album vervolgens op in de lijst met ‘1,000 albums to hear before you die’. Ondanks zijn compromisloze geluid bereikte het album een 13e plek in de Britse albumlijsten en werd het geprezen als een klassieker.
