The Production of Mapping and the Mapping of Production

Philippe de Maeyer (Belgium), chair of Commission on Map Production and GeoBusiness. It must be recognised that in contemporary cartography, 99% of the maps which are conceived are ‘temporary' productions, created by 'amateur' map-makers using geo-browsers or other software tools (including GIS) and displayed on screens ranging from mobile phones and satnav systems to military aircraft cockpits and emergency planning centres. Such maps disappear when the ‘off' switch is pressed. Traditional map production systems involving hard-copy output and managed by professional organisations are still important, however, particularly in sectors such as national mapping, atlas production and tourist cartography....

Using Magnetic Field Improves Oil Production

By using the Earth’s magnetic field, combined with new innovative technology, oil and gas drilling companies are increasing oilfield productivity while reducing development costs and environmental impacts. An article in the autumn 2013 issue of Oilfield Review highlights this technology and its applications across the world. It also discusses the collaboration between the public body, U.S. Geological Survey, and commercial partners to successfully implement the technology. These days, multiple reservoirs of oil and gas can be accessed from a single platform by drilling vertically and then horizontally. Drill operators need to know which way their drill bits are going to... (read more)
