Application of GIS（Geographic Information System）technology to the exploration activities

-For a better prediction of source rock in frontier basin

Abstract

GIS technology such as GPS loggings has become common recently. Real time route navigation can be displayed on our smartphone with high accuracy. This technology has already been applied for the tools of exploration in the E&P industry from 2000s. The exploration can utilize the plate reconstruction model and paleoclimate model more effectively by using the GIS technology for the play base exploration.

This presentation mentions the change of the exploration style by the application of the plate reconstruction and paleoclimate model with GIS technology. And then, we will discuss an oil majorʼs example as a possible practice of the plate reconstruction and paleoclimate model for the exploration at the underexplored area of the Eastern Africa.
