Many major oil and gas companies, contractors and financial institutions regard PetroView as the most comprehensive data visualisation package available for the global oil and gas industry.

Mapping software

PetroView is a Geographic Information System (GIS), which facilitates spatial analysis of the upstream oil and gas industry. The system brings together data and industry-focused tools in an intuitive manner, enabling both location and attribute data to be analysed simultaneously. A comprehensive database of licences, fields, wells, platforms, pipelines, cultural layers and other infrastructure is presented through a mapping interface.

PetroView is a mature and flexible system that can support a multitude of decision support tasks including business development, new ventures, asset acquisition and asset disposal, economic appraisal, exploration, drafting, presentations, seismic sales and planning.

Detailed upstream oil and gas data is available for the following regions: North West Europe, North Africa and Mediterranean, Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia Pacific, Middle East, South Asia, North Asia, Gulf of Mexico, Alaska, South America, Central America, Eastern Canada, Central and Eastern Europe, Caspian and Russia.
