Location and mapping path to mobile automation

摘要

Mobile automation has long been used in other industries to drive efficiencies, and linking to established GIS data could be the starting point for E&R. As with other industries in the energy sector, E&P companies have well-established geographic information system (GIS) technology and have employed these for many years in their asset management programs. Over time these systems have improved substantially in the quantity and quality of data. In fact, the employment of GIS data and general location technology capabilities in field worker management is gaining traction in other industries and presents similar opportunities to drive productivity in the upstream energy sector.
