INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 1.1 Introduction This guidance note concerns the management of spatial data for UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) petroleum operations. In December 1999, the oil and gas licensing division of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) published a notice in both the London Gazette and the Edinburgh Gazette, which clarified the co-ordinate systems to which licence boundaries on the UKCS were referred. The UKOOA Surveying and Positioning (S&P) Committee recognises that some data management issues may arise out of the Gazette notice. This document has been produced to provide some guidance in handling co-ordinate integrity issues that may be encountered. In writing such "Best Practice" guidance, it is impossible to strike the correct tone for every audience. Comments and suggestions have had to assume limited knowledge in the area of geodesy on the part of the user. Therefore, within this document, there is both a glossary of terms (see annex G) and a guide to co-ordinate geodesy (see annex F) that may assist with the technical nature of some of the comments. We cannot cover all of the possible issues and thereby give explicit recommendations to everyone and so we have decided to split the issues into broad groupings. It should be noted that many of the individual comments might be relevant in other areas also. It is therefore recommended that the document be studied in its entirety. In addition, for completeness of the document, there is an element of repetition of information. 1.2 Background Increasing UKCS activity to the west of Britain has led the UKOOA Surveying and Positioning Committee and the UK Government geodetic advisors (Hydrographic Office and Ordnance Survey) to express concern that the current definition of a geographic co-ordinate system for offshore concession boundaries, based on “European Datum”, is imprecise. Although adequate for describing position in the North Sea, in areas to the west of Britain it has the potential to lead to serious difficulties in inter company and possibly international unitisation of cross border oil and gas fields. With DTI's backing, a working group was formed to recommend a technically acceptable definition and procedures for removing the ambiguity. The working group consulted widely on this issue, seeking and obtained support from Oil Companies, both operators and non- operators, seismic and positioning contractors, the Legal, Exploration and S&P Committees of UKOOA as well as the UKOOA Management Group. The working group's recommendations were submitted to the DTI Licensing Division, and the instrument chosen for their introduction was by publication of their content in both the London Gazette and the Edinburgh Gazette. Two workshops were run jointly with the DTI to examine the data management issues that may result from the Gazettal notice and provide a basis for these guidance notes. Data managers from both Oil and Service companies were represented, as were seismic data acquisition companies, consulting companies, data vendors and software vendors. The Gazette notice, as issued by the DTI early December 1999, is printed in full in annex A. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ UKOOA Guidance Notes on use of co-ordinate systems in data management on the UKCS. November 1999 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Page 4 2. WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND WHY Co-ordinates describing a position on the earth are only unambiguous if the co-ordinate system to which they are referenced is identified. Geographical co-ordinate system components are geodetic datum and ellipsoid. Projected co-ordinate systems are Geographical Co-ordinate Systems with a projection transformation applied. See annex F for an overview of co-ordinate systems and annex G for a glossary of terms. Petroleum licence boundary co-ordinates have previously been referenced to “European Datum”. This term is not a precise one. Several versions of European Datum (ED) exist. Generally, in UKCS petroleum operations ED has been assumed to be the first (1950) iteration of European Datum (ED50). This was originally published to unify the co-ordinate systems used in mainland Western Europe and its extrapolation offshore becomes increasingly ambiguous as distance from the reference points used in its calculation increases. In the North Sea these ambiguities are of scientific curiosity only and not significant to petroleum operations. However, to the West of Shetland and even further west, differences arising from different technical assumptions quickly become very large. Potentially,

The perfor- mance and reliability of the ambiguity resolution process are being hampered by the current culmination (Y2000) of the eleven-year solar cycle. The traditional approach to mitigate the high ionospheric effect has been either to reduce the inter-station separation or to form ionosphere-free observables. Neither is satisfactory: the first restricts the operating range, and the second no longer possesses the ”integerness” of the ambiguities. A third generalized approach is introduced herein, whereby the zero ionosphere weight constraint, or pseudo-observables, with an appropriate weight is added to the Kalman Filter algorithm. The weight can be tightly fixed yielding the model equivalence of an independent L1/L2 dual-band model. At the other extreme, an infinite floated weight gives the equivalence of an ionosphere-free model, yet perserves the ambiguity integerness. A stochastically tuned, or weighted, model provides a compromise between the two ex- tremes. The reliability of ambiguity estimates relies on many factors, including an accurate functional model, a realistic stochastic model, and a subsequent efficient integer search algorithm.

  • Geomatics Guidance Note 3
    Geomatics Guidance Note 3 Contract area description Revision history Version Date Amendments 5.1 December 2014 Revised to improve clarity. Heading changed to ‘Geomatics’. 4 April 2006 References to EPSG updated. 3 April 2002 Revised to conform to ISO19111 terminology. 2 November 1997 1 November 1995 First issued. 1. Introduction Contract Areas and Licence Block Boundaries have often been inadequately described by both licensing authorities and licence operators. Overlaps of and unlicensed slivers between adjacent licences may then occur. This has caused problems between operators and between licence authorities and operators at both the acquisition and the development phases of projects. This Guidance Note sets out a procedure for describing boundaries which, if followed for new contract areas world-wide, will alleviate the problems. This Guidance Note is intended to be useful to three specific groups: 1. Exploration managers and lawyers in hydrocarbon exploration companies who negotiate for licence acreage but who may have limited geodetic awareness 2. Geomatics professionals in hydrocarbon exploration and development companies, for whom the guidelines may serve as a useful summary of accepted best practice 3. Licensing authorities. The guidance is intended to apply to both onshore and offshore areas. This Guidance Note does not attempt to cover every aspect of licence boundary definition. In the interests of producing a concise document that may be as easily understood by the layman as well as the specialist, definitions which are adequate for most licences have been covered. Complex licence boundaries especially those following river features need specialist advice from both the survey and the legal professions and are beyond the scope of this Guidance Note.

  • Development of 3D Datum Transformation Model Between Wgs 84 and Clarke 1880 for Cross Rivers State, Nigeria
    British Journal of Environmental Sciences Vol.7, No.2, pp. 70-86, May 2019 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) DEVELOPMENT OF 3D DATUM TRANSFORMATION MODEL BETWEEN WGS 84 AND CLARKE 1880 FOR CROSS RIVERS STATE, NIGERIA Aniekan Eyoh1, Onuwa Okwuashi 2 and Akwaowo Ekpa3 Department of Geoinformatics & Surveying, Faculty of Environmental Studies, University of Uyo, Nigeria 1, 2 & 3 ABSTRACT: The need to have unified 3D datum transformation parameters for Nigeria for converting coordinates from Minna to WGS84 datum and vice-versa in order to overcome the ambiguity, inconsistency and non-conformity of existing traditional reference frames within national and international mapping system is long overdue. This study therefore develops the optimal transformation parameters between Clarke 1880 and WGS84 datums and vice-versa for Cross River State in Nigeria using the Molodensky-Badekas model. One hundred (100) first order 3D geodetic controls common in the Clarke 1880 and WGS84 datums were used for the study. Least squares solutions of the model was solved using MATLAB programming software. The datum shift parameters derived in the study were ΔX=99.388653795075243m ± 2.453509278, ΔY = 15.027733957346365m ± 2.450564809, ΔZ = -60.390012806020579m ± 2.450556881,α=-0.000000601338389±0.000004394,β=0.000021566705811 ± 0.00004133728, γ = 0.000034795781381 ± 0.00007348844, S(ppm) = 0.9999325233 ± 0.00003047930445. The results of the computation showed roughly good estimates of the datum shift parameters (dX, dY, dZ, K, RX , RY , RZ, K ) and standard deviation of the parameters. The computed residuals of the XYZ parameters were relatively good. The result of the test computation of the shift parameters using the entire 107 points were however not significantly different from those obtained with the 100 points, as the results showed good agreement between them.

  • Part V: the Global Positioning System ______
    PART V: THE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM ______________________________________________________________________________ 5.1 Background The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based, passive, three dimensional navigational system operated and maintained by the Department of Defense (DOD) having the primary purpose of supporting tactical and strategic military operations. Like many systems initially designed for military purposes, GPS has been found to be an indispensable tool for many civilian applications, not the least of which are surveying and mapping uses. There are currently three general modes that GPS users have adopted: absolute, differential and relative. Absolute GPS can best be described by a single user occupying a single point with a single receiver. Typically a lower grade receiver using only the coarse acquisition code generated by the satellites is used and errors can approach the 100m range. While absolute GPS will not support typical MDOT survey requirements it may be very useful in reconnaissance work. Differential GPS or DGPS employs a base receiver transmitting differential corrections to a roving receiver. It, too, only makes use of the coarse acquisition code. Accuracies are typically in the sub- meter range. DGPS may be of use in certain mapping applications such as topographic or hydrographic surveys. DGPS should not be confused with Real Time Kinematic or RTK GPS surveying. Relative GPS surveying employs multiple receivers simultaneously observing multiple points and makes use of carrier phase measurements. Relative positioning is less concerned with the absolute positions of the occupied points than with the relative vector (dX, dY, dZ) between them. 5.2 GPS Segments The Global Positioning System is made of three segments: the Space Segment, the Control Segment and the User Segment.

  • Terms for Coordinates Azimuth Angle Measured from North Clockwise
    Terms for Coordinates Azimuth Angle measured from north clockwise. North is 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees etc. Three common forms of azimuth exist: true azimuth, magnetic azimuth, and grid azimuth. Angular Coordinates Latitude, Longitude, and Height can specify a location. This is called an angular frame. To obtain angular coordinates in a spherical earth system, only the radius is needed. This is needed only for the height. For an ellipsoidal earth the parameters of the ellipsoid must be specified to convert height and latitude. (To obtain geographic, or mean sea level, height the geoid is needed. Cartesian Coordinates Standard x-y-z coordinates. Three axes perpendicular to each other meet at the origin, or center of the coordinate system. The coordinates of a point are the projection of the location on these axes. Circle, Great A great circle is a circle on the earth whose center is the center of the earth. Alternately, it is the intersection of a plane and a sphere when the center of the sphere is on the plane. Shortest distance between two points on the earth in spherical model is a great circle. Meridians are great circles. Circle, Small A small circle is a circle on the earth whose center is not the center of the earth. Alternately, it is the intersection of a plane and a sphere when the center of the sphere is not on the plane. Parallels of latitude are small circles. Coordinate Frame In general this refers to a Cartesian system of coordinates. The location of the origin and the orientation of the axes with respect to the real earth are also included.
