IOGP/Chevron/TotalEnergies 13th Geomatics Industry Day

As the energy sector continues its digital transformation, the role of geomatics has never been more crucial. Geomatics is at the forefront of integrating geospatial data with innovative digital solutions which in turn supports the drive for safe, efficient and, and sustainable operations.

Geomatics already provides a robust set of digital tools and techniques that is revolutionizing how the energy industry operates. By enabling data acquisition, through advanced survey and geophysics equipment, geomatics serves as a key driver of the digital transformation.  Seamlessly collected data feeds into geodetically coherent geospatial databases, which are increasingly connected to critical asset-operating applications. This integration facilitates the use of digital tools such as Digital Twins and Smart Rooms. The ability of the geomatics industry to efficiently measure, manage, transform, and visualize geospatial data – from the depths of our oceans to outer space – not only streamlines operations and enhances business decisions, but also supports sustainability goals. This makes geomatics indispensable and enticing in the modern, digital energy landscape.

The 13th Geomatics Industry Day will be co-hosted by IOGP, Chevron, and TotalEnergies. The focus of this year’s event will be the role that Geomatics plays in Digital, through enabling Geospatial Data Visualization, Mapping and Analysis, embedding Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence, developing Remote Operations, Robotics & Autonomy (RORA) and exploring emerging digital trends in geomatics.

The event will comprise two half-day sessions, split into two parts:

Day 1 (10^th December 2024)

Theme 1: Spatial Visualization and Analysis 

This session will focus on the use of advanced geospatial visualization techniques and analysis, that provide enhanced situational awareness and decision-making capabilities.

Theme 2: Application of Machine Learning/ Artificial Intelligence

This session will highlight the growing importance of machine learning and artificial intelligence in analyzing geospatial data (incl. GIS visualization & Remote Sensing imagery), enabling predictive insights into environmental impact, asset management, and operational optimization.

Day 2 (11^th December 2024)

Theme 3: Remote Operations, Robotics & Autonomy

This session will showcase the role of remote operations, robotics, and autonomous systems in performing complex tasks in challenging environments, significantly enhancing safety, data quality and operational efficiency.

Theme 4: Future trends of Geomatics

The last session will investigate emerging digital trends that will define the future of geomatics, focusing on the drivers of cost efficiency, climate action, and safer operations.
