On February 19, 2020, Blue Marble Geographics® released version 21.1 of Global Mapper®. The release included many new software features, including subscription-based access to Blackbeard Data — an online data service for accessing pipeline, well, and lease information.
Blackbeard Data is primarily known for providing information to assist institutional professionals and independent investors in the acquisition of mineral assets, specifically buying oil and gas royalties. Blackbeard Data maintains the world’s largest database of oil and gas royalty owners and the world’s largest database of oil and gas comparables built from oil auction histories, which is invaluable to many users of Global Mapper in the energy sector.
Version 21.1 of Global Mapper introduces BlackBeard Data as part of its extensive online data portal. This subscription-based service is available through an intuitive interface, enabling users to seamlessly transfer and analyze oil and gas data from Blackbeard Data to Global Mapper, saving time and effort.
Users of Global Mapper can now access Blackbeard data by following these five easy steps:
- Press the Connect to Online Data button in the File toolbar or File Menu
