CANADA IHS | www.ihs.com 41 GDM GAS PLANT & FACILITY Access to the most accurate, current and comprehensive gas processing information available is critical when planning well tie-ins or other gas processing requirements. GDM has compiled information from all government sources and most importantly, directly from gas plant processors for all active gas plants in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Plant locations and boundaries are verified using digital imagery in order to provide precision mapping and connectivity to wells, pipelines and roads. GDM’s data precision and content richness ensures this data is ready to assist you in your production optimization operations: »» Spare Capacity Analysis »» Utilization Analysis »» Exploration Planning »» Pipeline and Proximity Planning »» Asset Management »» Field operations, repairs and maintenance The dataset ensures: Recent Enhancements · Spatially Corrected Facility Locations - Through the development of a series of complex business rules and algorithms over 151,174 facilities, which is over 94% of all locations in Western Canada, have been spatially corrected. industry facility locations have historically been mapped to the smallest legal survey unit which resulted in positional errors of up to 400 meters. »» Information is current and field verified on all aspects of the Gas Plant operations. Direct contact and field visits ensure that the most precise and timely data is available to clients. Facility name, operator, contacts and locations are all verified, corrected and confirmed. »» Up-to-date descriptions of modifications and additions or reductions in the capacities and processes for all plants are captured »» Status of all gas plants, such as pending, shut in and abandoned are all actively investigated and updated »» Data is contiguous between field capture data and GDM’s production data As with all GDM datasets, the value of the content is in the effort and time spent gathering disparate data from multiple sources and reconciling them into one solid and proven data model. Detailed Facility information and accurate locations and plant boundary outlines are available through the Gas Plant & Facility database
