Responding to specific industry demand, PetroSkills introduce their latest class, Geomatics: Geodesy and Cartography.
Awareness of geodetic datums, coordinate reference systems and map projections is provided via interactive demonstrations and hands-on workshop exercises using the online EPSG Geodetic Registry. Students learn how Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) systems including GPS work, as well as the resultant accuracies obtainable using different receiver types and data processing techniques. Hands-on GPS exercises show potential errors. “Google Earth” is examined with focus on its strengths and weaknesses for E&P purposes. Lastly, the importance of geospatial metadata is stressed, since often such metadata is implemented at at the end of a project. This critical geospatial data component is discussed with recommendations for “best practices” using current industry references.
The training is directed and instructed by the highly regarded geomatics experts group; Cain & Barnes LP
