    EnSoCo announces Coordinate Data Mining at APSG

    EnSoCo presented a paper on Coordinate Data Mining at the spring meeting of the Americas Petroleum Survey
    Group (www.APSG.info ). The paper was part of a series of presentations on adding value to positioning assets in
    spatial data management.  Copies of the presentations are available to APSG members via the APSG website.  
    EnSoCo intends to offer data mining services later this summer following testing and completion of the software.

    EnSoCo completes 2D seismic study for a major oil company

    EnSoCo has completed a study of legacy land 2D line accuracy using high resolution imagery and Digital Terrain
    Model data (DTM).  Selected 2D lines were posted on high resolution imagery with highly accurate DTM contours
    to evaluate positional accuracy of vintage 2D seismic positioning.  The imagery was provided by Spatial Energy at
    sub-meter resolution along with 5 meter DTM elevation data. Evidence of miss-positioning was demonstrated in
    both visual photo-identifiable features as well as elevation misties to the original legacy survey results.  EnSoCo
    employed fly-through movie technology to follow long regional 2D lines in a highly mountainous environment.  The
    benefit of using high resolution imagery and DTM data was successfully demonstrated as a means of validating
    positional information.

    EnSoCo completes pilot study with Spatial Energy

    EnSoCo has completed a well accuracy study for a major oil company in conjunction with Spatial Energy using
    high resolution satellite and aerial imagery.  EnSoCo was tasked with identifying and classifying well locations
    based on photo-identification.  Using ground control stations to verify ortho-rectification and geodetic accuracy,
    well features were compared to stated well locations.  Additionally other culture such as roads, legacy imagery
    and DTM data were used to compile confidence and accuracy of the wells. Deliverables included well
    identification, confidence with respect to photo-identifiable features, well access from major roads and a
    geospatial database with results.

    EnSoCo enters into pilot study with Surdex

    EnSoCo and Surdex have entered into a pilot study using high resolution aerial imagery and LIDAR data obtained
    in Madison County, Illinois.  The project will entail evaluating photo-identifiable objects and classifying content
    (wells, pipelines, roads, parcels) and their accuracy and confidence with respect to current information within the
    county.  In exchange for providing the pilot results to the county, EnSoCo and Surdex will utilize the data to
    demonstrate the benefits of high resolution imagery and LIDAR in Oil and Gas GIS operations to our respective
    clients.

    EnSoCo awarded 3D project by ExxonMobil

    EnSoCo has been awarded a large marine 3D navigation re-processing project for a legacy 3D survey.  The
    project will involve re-processing raw sensor information recorded on legacy field recorded raw navigation tapes.  
    EnSoCo will also provide seismic first break picking and incorporation within the final network adjustment runs.  
    We will also employ our proprietary pseudo compass modeling for enhanced streamer shaping.

    EnSoCo provides presentation material for GIGS workshops

    EnSoCo has provided material to Cain and Barnes for the 2010 workshops being held in Kuala Lumpur, London
    and Houston.  EnSoCo’s participation includes presentation material relating to Spatial Data Management and
    Metadata.  EnSoCo’s John Conner is expected to present this talk in Houston.  The talks are scheduled for May,
    26th, June 16th and June 24th respectively.  Please contact Cain and Barnes, LLC for further details.

    EnSoCo kicks off pilot projects to demonstrate “ground truthing” of oil and gas assets using high
    resolution imagery.

    EnSoCo has entered into a cooperative agreement with Spatial Imagery of Denver Colorado, a leading provider of
    high quality satellite imagery to proof the concept of verifying well and other photo-identifiable assets through the
    use of high resolution imagery.  EnSoCo will devise a ground truth schema for categorizing assets and providing a
    quantifiable measure of accuracy with respect to known positions.

    EnSoCo has also entered into a pilot program to do a similar evaluation with Surdex Corporation, who supplies
    industry leading aerial photography and LIDAR data to both government and industry entities.  Surdex is
    supplying high resolution imagery and LIDAR data over several domestic areas for evaluation of well location and
    asset classification services.
