Black Thunder GIS Solutions for Upstream Petroleum Operations
Optimizing Exploration and Production with Advanced Geospatial Technologies
Transforming Upstream Petroleum with Black Thunder GIS Solutions
Empowering Exploration and Drilling Operations with Advanced Geospatial Tools
Exploration
At Black Thunder, GIS technology is at the core of our exploration strategy. We harness its capabilities to analyze, visualize, and integrate vast amounts of exploration data—spanning basin, play, prospect, and reservoir studies to block and lease analysis and scenario planning. GIS unifies diverse datasets, enabling quantitative, repeatable analysis for informed, consistent investment decisions that drive successful outcomes.
Land Management
Black Thunder leverages GIS as a single source for accessing and managing land asset data across projects, regions, and corporate levels. Through web and map services, we enable seamless data discovery and analysis, whether in the office or the field. GIS empowers us to optimize land value across exploration, operations, renewable energy initiatives, and carbon markets, ensuring efficient and profitable land management.
Production
Managing complex production operations is seamless with GIS technology at Black Thunder. Whether from the office or on a mobile device, GIS integrates real-time feeds with precise representations of physical assets, creating a digital twin of our production processes. This digital twin provides a comprehensive understanding of operations, allowing us to model alternative designs and implement the most effective strategies to maximize output.
Operations
Black Thunder relies on GIS to streamline and optimize operations involving wells, pipelines, power and communications networks, field roads, fences, facilities, personnel, vehicles, and equipment. By uniting real-time data feeds with physical operations, we create a digital twin of our business processes. This ensures safe, efficient operations, reduces downtime, and maximizes operational revenues while maintaining high safety standards.
Unconventional Resources
We maximize development opportunities in unconventional resources by using GIS to design and optimize infrastructure, including roads, pads, and well placements. Real-time asset tracking and workforce coordination ensure compliance, safety, and operational efficiency. Integrating asset information with real-time data enables the creation of a digital twin, ensuring precise control over operations and minimizing environmental impact.
Carbon Capture Technologies
Black Thunder leverages GIS to identify the most viable locations for large-scale carbon capture and sequestration projects. By analyzing CO2 and methane sources, subsurface storage potential, and transport infrastructure, we assess technical feasibility alongside economic, regulatory, political, and social factors. Our GIS-driven approach ensures that health, safety, and environmental impacts are integral to every decision, driving sustainable and impactful carbon capture initiatives.
