A Web-Based Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) Data Visualization and Analytical System

Abstract

Abstract. To manage the voluminous and complex Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) data and accommodate the spatial and temporal components, a database management system working interactively with a web GIS mapping interface is designed and built. Public and proprietary SAGD data are collected from multiple sources and archived. Multiple spatial layers and flexible spatial queries can help users efficiently target SAGD wells. Furthermore, intuitive and interactive data visualization methods like attribute table, histograms and charts and time-series data viewers, as well as data mining techniques like clustering and association rule mining are implemented in the system for users to explore and comprehend SAGD data and make decisions.

A Web-Based Visual and Analytical Geographical Information System for Oil and Gas Data

“…The utilization of the large amount of data accumulated over years is a new challenge and critical for efficient and sustainable exploitation. Application systems that assist in the storage and management of the voluminous and complex oil and gas datasets are in high demand [1]. Several data management services and products are currently on the market, such as GeoCarta [2], Accumap [3] and iGlass [4]; however, most of these commercial software products are standalone desktop software, which makes collaboration and reaction to the field operations inefficient.…”
