Mapping
Geologists, Not Just Geology, and Why That Is Important
Mapping Geologists, Not Just Geology, and Why That Is ImportantBy
BP
Gulf Coast hurricanes in 2005 dramatically illustrated the
need to map the employee base in the path of the storms.
A large percentage of the American
Association of Petroleum Geologists
membership lives along the storm-prone
Gulf of Mexico. The skills and tools used for
mapping geology can also be used to map
the location of geologists. This is useful to
insure business continuity during storm
events and has the added benefit of potentially
assisting people in need. As with any
mapping exercise, some of the same
challenges (data
quality, for example) are
issues. These techniques have potential application in areas
beyond the Gulf of Mexico, as incidents can occur in other
geographic regions inhabited by the petroleum company
workforce.
