PEPS

Attribute database

PEPS-SA (Attribute)

Petroleum Exploration and Production System — South Australia (PEPS-SA® or PEPS®) is a comprehensive relational database containing a wide range of technical data relevant to the petroleum industry. Users can view the data in form or table mode (new), export individual tables or carry out complex multi-table queries and export the answer to various improved formats (Excel, Paradox or ASCII etc.).

PEPS attribute and spatial databases are bundled together as one package on CD, currently at a special price of $300. Twice-yearly updates of PEPS cost an additional $300 per year. GDA coordinates have been included in modules having coordinate data, and PEPS releases now have GDA coordinates for all of the MapInfo spatial data.

The key data for petroleum exploration are the petroleum well and seismic line data. For each well or seismic line there are thousands of attributes. In PEPS, key data have been allocated into comprehensive data modules, including well, seismic, engineering and ancillary information. There are eight modules comprising 95 data sets. There are substantive indexes to other types of data.

Spatial database

PEPS-SA (MapInfo)

Bundled with the attribute data are MapInfo spatial data sets. Viewing these data in a mapping package allows the geoscientist to spatially view data sets, to turn on and off various layers of interest, and zoom in and out etc., to allow the generation of custom-built base maps which can be printed.

There are more than 60 separate layers, ranging from general topographic data such as state boundaries, coastline, protected areas (e.g. national parks), restricted areas, roads, railways and various tenements, through to geotechnical layers such as basin outlines, well locations, seismic lines, seismic horizons, tectonic provinces and many more.

The PEPS-SA attribute and spatial databases are bundled together as one package on DVD. To order please contact:
