Introduction of OGP Survey and Positioning and the APSG Objectives and Resources

The two primary professional survey organizations in the energy sector have come together to raise E&P professionals’ awareness of the importance of spatial data management. Knowledgeable members will present from the prestigious Surveying and Positioning Committee of the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers Surveying and Positioning Committee (OGP S&P) with colleagues from the Houston based Americas Petroleum Survey Group (APSG). Eleven companies have permitted their subject matter experts to impart knowledge to the geosciences and engineering communities. Hundreds of years of education and experience are offered to EAGE attendees. Three of the presenters have been recognized by EAGE with 2008 Honorary Memberships for their work on the EPSG Geodetic Parameter dataset which has conferred “an incalculable benefit on the geoscience community at large”.
