GOM3 provides a unique platform combining all the geologic, geophysical, engineering and land data released by the MMS with the power the ArcView geographic information system (GIS). We take care of organizing, integrating and updating these basic data – you bring them together with proprietary and other vendor data for the insights that lead to new discoveries and operating efficiencies. Whether it is identifying recent wells on the expiring leases of a competitor or mapping the recovery factors of Bul-1 reservoirs – GOM3 reduces hours of work in a half-dozen packages to a few clicks. For over 20 of the top operators in the Gulf of Mexico, GOM3 has become an integral tool for explorationists, asset teams and managers.

Beyond the power of ArcView in two dimensions, we include 3-D GIS models and functionality for all producing fields in the GOM. GOM3 includes a ‘light’ GIS version available through a web-browser for quick answers, simple maps, charts and reports. We have also developed Direct Report Access, a module that provides all the same MMS data through a familiar, non-GIS-based interface. Whether it is well log images, access to lease serial records or this week’s APDs, if you want a single source of MMS data, GOM3 meets all of your needs. Beyond what MMS releases, ESA follows and maps GOM discoveries and prospects on a weekly basis and offers direct access to data from several key service companies. Add in your own data and see what breakthroughs jump out.


 

 
GOM3-Direct Report Access gives users the ability to construct complex, customized reports using a familiar, non-GIS-based front end.
 If you already use ArcView, you know the value of combining data on disparate variables, different sources, projections and resolutions in a GIS. If you are new to the technology, we understand the reluctance to learn yet another software package. To reduce that burden, we have designed a highly intuitive interface for accessing data and specialized tools for oil and gas applications. We included an extensive Help system that provides extensive documentation and for dozens of typical tasks (e.g., changing map projections, exporting data), we include short ‘movies’ that show and explain the steps.

To ease the transition to a new technology, we offer on-site training that teaches new users how to exploit GIS and access all the data and functionality in GOM3. We also provide consulting to our clients to help leverage their proprietary data and information from other vendors using GIS technology. Of course, we offer our clients unlimited user support and actively solicit input on improvements in the data and tools in GOM3.

Our web site, www.earthsci.com, offers extensive information on the data and functionality of GOM3. Trial access to GOM3-Online is accessible from our web site. For more information and to schedule a presentation on GOM3, call (562)437-7373.

The MMS offers hundreds of thousands of tables and reports only accessible through their web site. Through GOM3, you immediately access all the data for any well, lease or pipeline, just by clicking on it in the map.

We’ve built in a link to Word that automatically inserts the map on the screen. It also ties that or any other document (Excel spreadsheets, core photos, CAD files, etc.) or URLs back to any map feature. This allows you to organize project data around maps you make in GOM3.

In GOM3, there are dozens of pre-made reports that provide the basic data and charts on all the data in the system.
...not just a pretty map
...a platform for analysis!
There are over 250,000 well log images in GOM3. Click on any well and get a list of all available logs, preview it on screen, and if it’s the log you need download the TIFF image. There are no additional charges for well log images.

GOM3 provides you with the empirical probability distributions for all reservoir and field volumetric variables (area, thickness, porosity, etc.) and reserves by play for the 100 plays defined by MMS in the Gulf

In a GIS, attribute tables underlie all map features. View them on screen or easily export the data of interest to Excel.

Click on any completion, well, sand, pool, field or lease in the map for monthly production of oil, gas and water from 1947 forward.

There are three components in GOM3. Each is designed to meet specific needs that arise in exploration and production work flows:

GOM3-ArcView is the work horse of the system, built on ESRI’s 2-D and 3-D GIS platforms. It allows you to combine the MMS data we provide with your own proprietary information and data from other vendors or public sources. This is a sophisticated and flexible mapping system with a robust suite of tools for spatial analysis of oil and gas data. There are no competing systems that unite analytic power and data like GOM3-ArcView.

GOM3-Online is a ‘light’ version of GOM3-ArcView, served over the web. It allows simple access to basic maps, reports, well log images, charts and a direct-link to the MMS web site data requiring nothing more than a browser. It is available 24/7 from anywhere and does not require an ArcView license to operate.

GOM3-Direct Report Access (DRA) gives users access to the data of our system and the ability to construct complex, customized reports using a familiar, non-GIS-based front end. With the inclusion of DRA, GOM3 affords you the ability to consolidate all applications built on MMS data to just one program
.


 
GOM3-Online provides Reports, Charts, Well Log Images and quick access to MMS Data from anywhere in the world with nothing more than a web browser.
