• More data sharingdata sharing among– geophysics– geology– petroleum engineering– facilities engineering– land/legal– safety and environment
• One thing in common:– WHEREWHERE is the asset?
• GIS “spatial window”“spatial window” is the best way to access diverse data

Enterprise GIS CommentEnterprise GIS Comment
“A GIS/Web combination is the best opportunity to create an enterprise management system that presents technical, financial, HR, and media information in a single interface for complex problem resolution and decision-making.
The GIS spatial presentation and analyses capabilities are well suited for organizing complex information in a manner that transcends language barriers.
As such, it is an ideal enterprise management system for global As such, it is an ideal enterprise management system for global companies operating in multiple cultures.”companies operating in multiple cultures.”
