Posted in Oil & Gas, Service News

Houston, TX, April 20, 2002 – R7 Solutions’ new handheld GIS software framework was featured in this month’s edition of Oil IT Journal a leading energy industry publication focused on information technology developments in the petroleum exploration and production industry.

The article profiles the company’s demostration of its new GIS application framework for handhelds at the annual ESRI Petroleum User Group conference:

“R7 Solutions demonstrated wireless GIS capability with a Wi-Fi network set up at the exhibition. GIS, GPS, and wireless combine to support field engineers involved in maintenance, survey and environmental cleanup.”

“In an example, an oil spill offshore Galveston Island was put against a satellite image backdrop. Using R7’s GIS system, an oil spill response team tracked the evolving situation via

a real-time map on the iPAQ. Interaction (to indicate extent of the spill) on an iPAQ in the field updates a central GIS repository and the information can be shared with workers anywhere.”
