Geomatics: Geodesy and Cartography - GEOM1 - In House Training

Geomatics: Geodesy and Cartography - In-house training by PetroSkillsThis course can be conducted on site at your location exclusively for your staff. Use of incorrect geodetic parameters can cause major errors in positions of wells, pipelines and seismic surveys, with significant financial losses and sometimes with HSE risks, as demonstrated by case studies. Awareness of geodetic datums, coordinate reference systems and map projections is provided via interactive demonstrations and hands-on workshop exercises using the online EPSG Geodetic Registry. Students learn how Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) systems including GPS work, as well as the resultant accuracies obtainable using different receiver types and data processing techniques. Hands-on GPS exercises show potential errors. ?Google Earth? is examined with focus on its strengths and weaknesses for E&P purposes. Lastly, the importance of geospatial metadata is stressed, since often such metadata is implemented at the end of a project. This critical geospatial data component is discussed with recommendations for ?best practices? using current industry references. Find out more
