Abstract

In order to recognize the subsurface geologic body comprehensively, all kinds of ways are used synthetically in the petroleum exploration. However, most of the information obtained in the petroleum exploration is related with spatial location. If all the information mentioned above are synthetically managed and utilized by GIS technology, based on the strong GIS technology of spatial analysis and visualization expression, we can analyze and process the data came from oil field, then the exploration data, achievement map, and information management will be applied integrality, and the result is a strongly support for the decision-making in oil field exploration. Therefore, there is an extensive application of GIS technology in the realm of petroleum exploration.
