Research and implementation of oilfield basic platform based on integrated 2D with 3D of GIS

Abstract

In the information construction in the oilfield, data analysis and visualized management have become the most pressing needs. At the same time the application of geographic information system (GIS) in the oilfield is also becoming mature during these days. This paper proposes a system framework which based on GIS technology and technology of integrated 2 dimensions (2D) with 3 dimensions (3D) to solve the oil fundamental business application. This framework uses the multi-layer architecture, each layer can keep modularization and independent, so it can reach a high degree of flexibility and expansibility. A Browser/Server (B/S) system based on this architecture can implement offshore platforms, stations' facilities and equipments, long distance pipeline and underground reservoir and other aspects of management and planning. Develop the oilfield GIS basic platform based on 2D integrated with 3D will meet the need of daily production management, reservoir management and professional analysis well, deepen and expand the application of pipeline data in oilfield management, create strong information technology support for oilfield development. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
