This session highlights how leading energy companies are applying complex GIS to address complex upstream challenges in exploration and operations. Shell demonstrates how a standardized data model supports play-based subsurface mapping, enabling multidisciplinary collaboration and deeper geological insight. KOC will discuss how they are leveraging GIS to streamline and enhance complex maintenance operations in real-time. Together, these examples show how GIS strengthens decision-making, efficiency, and collaboration across the upstream energy value chain.

- GIS: the Workhorse of Play-Based Subsurface Mapping & Collaboration
A Geology Data Model powers this Play-Based Exploration workflow, with GIS serving as the collaborative workhorse fostering collaboration between Geoscience &Geomatics. By standardizing data integration, it unifies multidisciplinary teams from project start to delivery. The framework bridges organizational gaps through shared objectives and a common digital environment, enabling repeatable processes and deeper geological insights. Implementation proves how this approach anchored by robust geological data drives innovation, aligns distributed teams, and brings strategic clarity to exploration.
