GIS PROJECT AS AN UNIFIED SPACE FOR WORKING WITH GEOLOGICAL AND GEOPHYSICAL DATA

Abstract

The article described the role of GIS projects when working with geological and geophysical data in the production process of oil and gas enterprises. The sequence of the formation of GIS project content in the process of geological exploration is highlighted. Practical examples of using of accumulated geodata are given. They used for assessing the quality of initial geophysical data, for studying the geological structure of the area of interest, for preparing cartographic materials of various degrees of significance. The approbation was carried out within the cartographic support for geological exploration works at sites in various regions of the Russian Federation and other world countries. The universality of GIS projects using has been determined: as a tool for working with geodata, an instrument for creating cartographic products, a single point of access to the accumulated information, a data warehouse. The general patterns of consumers' requests for digital cartographic information frequency changes during the main stages of geophysical work have been identified.
