Developing a Work flow for Creating a Data Portal for the Eaglebine Oil and Gas Play
The oil production in Texas is growing rapidly with the discoveries of new methods such as
Hydraulic Fracking and discoveries of new Oil Plays like The Eagleford Shale Play. The growth
is so fast and so large that great amount of data is being produced every day. The ability to
compile and research this data is very limited. This is the problem that we are attempting solve
by creating and managing a workflow on how to gather and input geological, geophysical and
geographical data into a database that will support research from several departments at Texas
A&M University. This workflow comprise different stages. First, collecting data from various
sources. Second, the data sorting and formatting. Third, the database creation. After the data is
transformed into a 2D and 3D interactive webpage that allow the data to be accessed by the
users. The advantage of this database is to combine resources from different departments on
campus to use this data for research. This instrument will be useful in obtaining data for projects
in an oil and gas play area. However the lack of help from industry and problems with free data
available to the public can present a challenge. If user do not upload processed data files then the
growth of files would be hampered
