GIS Software for Energy, Oil and Gas & Utilities
From oil and gas pipelines and transmission infrastructure to renewable energy projects, energy and utility organizations depend on accurate GIS data. Blue Marble provides a connected office-to-field workflow that keeps spatial data accurate from planning through inspection.
Common energy workflow challenges
Site Selection Demands More than a Map
Evaluating terrain, land cover, environmental constraints, and infrastructure proximity across disconnected tools creates gaps and decisions made on incomplete data.
Pipeline Data Crosses Jurisdictions and Coordinate Systems
Misaligned reference systems across large project extents create downstream data errors that are expensive to resolve once field crews are deployed.
Critical Information Doesn’t Make it Back to Command
Remote oil & gas drilling sites and pipeline corridors don’t come with reliable connectivity. Field crews need verified maps and asset data that work without a signal.
Workflow
Process site data
Lidar, drone imagery, terrain
Analyze & validate
Coordinate systems, datum transformations, spatial accuracy
Prepare for field
Package, convert, deploy
Execute in the field
Navigate, inspect, capture, and send back to the office
From analysis to action
Global Mapper and Blue Marble’s GeoCalc geodetic engine, together with Avenza Maps, connect office precision with field execution, delivering a complete workflow from site analysis through inspection and documentation.
Office
Process, validate, and export field-ready spatial data, from lidar classification to coordinate alignment.
Field
Navigate, capture, and annotate with verified georeferenced maps anywhere on site, fully offline and GPS-enabled, then sync back to the office with spatial integrity intact.
Oil and gas, utility, and renewable energy projects span remote terrain, complex infrastructure, and strict regulatory requirements. Global Mapper processes large datasets, analyzes terrain suitability, classifies vegetation, and validates coordinate systems before deployment. Avenza Maps then puts verified, georeferenced maps in field crews’ hands, online or offline, so field work stays aligned with office analysis.
Key outcomes
Purpose built for energy
Unlike workflows requiring separate tools for terrain analysis, coordinate management, map preparation, and field deployment, Blue Marble connects these capabilities in a single workflow built for large-scale oil and gas, utility, and renewable energy operations. Teams gain a shared spatial foundation that supports planning, development, inspection, and asset management across the full project lifecycle.
