2013 – ESRI PUG CONFERENCE

Project Components

• Background – Eagle Ford Shale Play – 500 proposed oil and gas well locations – 200 miles of pipe

• Environmental Review – Opportunity of significant E&P assets – No program in place – compliant for environmental – Programmatic Approach – evaluating all criteria – Documentation

• Manage Regulatory Issues –Total Compliance

3 2013 – ESRI PUG CONFERENCE

The Players

• EDGE Engineering & Science (EDGE)

• de maximis Data Management Solutions, Inc. (ddms)

• Confidential E&P Client


Needs

• Evaluate Rig Locations – Regulatory Needs

• Section 10 • Section 404 • EPA Driver – Floodplain • Cultural Driver – NHPA • Threatened & Endangered Species • Building ID for DOT Pipeline Classification & Air Permitting

– Aggressive Drilling and Development – Documentation and Data Creation – Management of Documents/Data Web-Secure

Smart people can waste resources without access to the right information.


Good Information = Better Decisions

Workflow


Desktop Components • Critical Assessment Layers

– National Data Sets • FEMA • NHD • NWI • Soils • Land Cover

– State & Local • T&E • LiDAR

– Client Specific • Residential • Archeological • Existing Facilities


Desktop Components

• 24 hour turn around • Identify major issues • Desktop assessment allows

client to make adjustments before too much time has passed

• Distribute on web platform for group viewing


Field Components • Field Delineations

– Trimble GPS Unit – Desktop review

components – Staking adjustment in field – Discuss permitting

implications for efficiency – Collaborative staking – GPS Trimble w/ current

Data Sets – iPad w/ GIS layers outside

of Trimble


Cloud Components

• Project Portal Interface – Secure Tiered User Structure – Ability to Manage and Visualize Project Data – Ability to Inform Team of Schedule, Modifications,

and Alerts – iPad Compatible – Document Management – GIS Webmap Module

Project Portal

• Modular: Documents, Calendar, Database, GIS, Project Tables, Field Data Logger

• Secure –Tiered User Access (SAS 70 Type II Hosting) • Project Management Tool – Manage, Analyze and

Visualize • Ability to Search Across All Modules Simultaneously

Success and Lessons Learned

• Client incorporation of Project Portal in Emergency Management Plan

• Secure Document Management system to hold reports, permits to support any regulatory compliance follow up

• Reduced staking efforts by at least half saving time and money (Week vs Month)

• Regulatory plan in place - NO VIOLATIONS to date • Stormwater recommendations using LiDAR


Summary

• Client had need for regulatory compliance program • Created critical layers for desktop review (1-3 days) • Reduced time and overhead cost by providing

adjustments before staking • Cloud components allowed for review and document

storage
