Working on a long term contract a GeoNorth team is assisting BP Management in a review of current contracted GIS projects and is currently advising on enterprise GIS iniatives and systems integration. GeoNorth is also curently implementing a GIS for North Slope operations in Alaska. This project has enabled BP engineers, for the first time, to automatically map inspection, corrosion, and pipeline pigging data leading to improved and more informed management decision making.
GeoNorth has implemented a GIS at BP Exploration for the North Slope of Alaska – North American’s largest oilfield. This system covers Prudhoe Bay and the surrounding oilfields. GeoNorth architected the data model and systems to implement ArcGIS Server (including ArcSDE in Oracle 10g), ArcGIS Image Server and various web applications using the ArcGIS Server Web ADF (.Net). The project involved all phases of GIS implementation, including Needs Assessments, Project Planning, Data Model Design, Data Capture, Application Development, and integration with many other information systems within BP. One key task was the integration of physical inspection and corrosion data. These data are stored in a legacy system (MIMIR) and this project enabled BP engineers, for the first time, to automatically map inspection, corrosion, and pipeline pigging data.
