Products > GDM
MetaCarta Geographic Data Modules make up the core of MetaCarta products. A GDM is a knowledge base used to identify and disambiguate geographic references, assign latitude/longitude coordinates, and confidence scores and relevance ranking. Each MetaCarta GDM contains linguistic statistics, gazetteer data, and natural language processing (NLP) logic.
For oil and gas users, MetaCarta (in partnership with IHS) has created the MetaCarta IHS Global Oil and Gas GDM containing industry-specific geographic locations. Leveraging the strength of the IHS global data coverage, this GDM includes wells, blocks, fields, basins and other oil and gas locations.
The MetaCarta IHS Global Oil & Gas is available as an add-on to the MetaCarta Base GDM and adds:
- Global coverage from sources including IHS, U.S. Minerals Management Service and several additional sources
- Location information patterned references including:
- Platforms: More than 4,500
- Basins: More than 4,500
- Contracts: More than 28,000
- Fields: More than 75,000
- Wells: More than 12,800,000
In late 2007, Schlumberger acquired exclusive distribution rights to the oil and gas sector for the MetaCarta map-based geographic information search technologies. Schlumberger has acquired all existing contracts for MetaCarta in the oil and gas sector, resulting in a single source for sales and support of this technology in the industry.
Schlumberger is the world's leading oilfield services company supplying technology, information solutions and integrated project management that optimize reservoir performance for customers working in the oil and gas industry.
