The Uses of Oil and Gas GIS for the Energy Sector
For many years, scientists in different fields of studies used GIS or geographic information systems successfully to create different kinds of geospatial datasets. In the energy sector, the utilization of GIS contributed greatly in improving the efficiency of exploration and distribution of energy. For example, oil and gas GIS have been used to create structured and historical maps to pinpoint exact locations of gas basins and oil deposits. Gas pipeline GIS on the other hand have been used by energy companies to improve distribution services from the production facilities to the consumers. In North America alone, there are more than 150 gas pipelines for the distribution of crude oil. These pipelines run for several hundred miles underground spanning across the 48 states of the United States including the gas pipelines in Canada and Mexico. An energy distribution company therefore faces an extreme dilemma in identifying its oil and gas pipelines without the help of geospatial data. Although there are existing cartographic renditions of the structural layout of the North American oil and gas pipeline systems, some pipeline maps maybe out of date or could be unreliable. With the introduction of the GIS, your company can now utilize oil and gas GIS and gas pipeline GIS to accurately locate the exact positioning of your pipelines. Such datasets can be easily ordered online in digitized or printed formats from Rextag Strategies. Oil exploration companies on the hand face different problems compared to energy distributors. Oil and gas exploration companies specifically need to accurately map network geometries of different gas basins and oil deposits which are separated by hundreds of miles. The need to map large geographical areas that are not contiguous and separated by different terrain levels and territories are important in order to

What Can You Expect from Free Gas Pipeline GIS Application
Finding a comprehensive gas pipeline dataset on the Internet can be very difficult and frustrating. Usually, you will get incoherent data from websites, unreliable information, and incomplete datasets. You will find it impossible to create a reliable and compelling presentation because of lack of data and visual materials. Fortunately, you can utilize the free gas pipeline GIS application of Rextag Strategies called Pipeline Explorer. This free application will generate comprehensive oil and gas GIS datasets so you can finish your presentation projects quickly. The Pipeline Explorer contains the most complete and up to date information about the names of different pipeline systems. It can also identify which types of commodities are being carried by different pipelines. By having this capability, you can quickly organize your gas pipeline GIS dataset into different categories. You will be able therefore to quickly create a customized oil and gas GIS presentation. The datasets on the Pipeline Explorer can also generate complete information on the names and contact information of different pipeline operators. It can also provide accurate information on the location of each pipeline systems from the regional up to county levels. The Pipeline Explorer would be very useful if you are creating highly customized oil and gas GIS or gas pipeline GIS datasets. If you have a pipeline development project in the works, you can simply focus on a specific locality and quickly search the oil and gas GIS datasets for the location. So if you are going to build a gas pipeline GIS for a specific county, you can simply make a query through the application in order to see what pipeline systems are running underneath it. In just a matter of seconds, you will be able to build your special gas pipeline GIS
