An entry-level course that teaches you how to use Esri's ArcGIS Desktop within oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) activities using petroleum industry spatial data and workflows. This course allows you to explore the benefits in applying Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to your petroleum workflows.
You will be introduced to fundamental ArcGIS for Desktop (ArcView) functionality that allows geoscientists to integrate spatial and non-spatial data and integrate, manage and analyse data to produce information for decision-making.
Pre-requisites
No geospatial knowledge is assumed beyond that acquired through the use of geological maps. It is not essential to have petroleum E&P sector knowledge however; this course is geared towards assisting participants to implement E&P workflows geospatially. 
Intended audience
Geoscience professionals and support staff who are going to be using GIS tools and E&P project staff who need a basic understanding of GIS in order to manage geospatial projects.
Features


Focuses on how to manage E&P workflows using GIS and identifies the advantages - this is not a generic 'learn about ArcGIS for Desktop' course


Uses industry standard ArcGIS for Desktop (ArcView) tools from Esri (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox)


Two-day intensive course


Instructor-led hands-on learning by ‘doing’


Trainer demonstrations and course validation questions 


Provides the basis for learning more advanced techniques


Participants will


Learn fundamental ArcGIS for Desktop functionality


Use a number of data formats


Work with E&P datasets


Apply typical E&P workflows


Understand Esri's spatial data storage terminology


Learning outcomes


Define what GIS is and discuss how and why it is used in the petroleum industry


Compare the data storage properties of vector and raster data and give an example of each


Set-up an ArcGIS Project and differentiate between the various Table of Contents views


Contrast the types of information that are  stored in a layer file versus a feature class


Import and link non-spatial datasets with spatial data using the georeferencing, join and relate tools


Create new spatial data from a table of coordinates using the XY Event tool and save this data into a geodatabase


Operate a variety of different editing tools to amend and extend a play fairway map


Analyse and query spatial data to select and exclude data for the purpose of creating new data layers and support decision making


Export data to produce layer and map packages for storing and sharing data


Produce a map document using a corporate template and export this digital map as a graphic image
