DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI) has signed a new agreement with Mexico’s largest enterprise, PEMEX. The agreement gives PEMEX, a customer of DigitalGlobe’s for the last four years and one of the world’s top oil producers, real-time, cloud-based access to DigitalGlobe’s new, just launched Global Basemap. Global Basemap is being demonstrated in DigitalGlobe’s booth #1901 at this week’s Esri International User Conference in San Diego.
PEMEX is Mexico’s sole producer of crude oil, natural gas and refined products and represents one of the country’s most important sources of government income. It is also one of the few oil companies in the world to manage all facets of production, from exploration and extraction to refining, storage, distribution and sales. Global Basemap easily integrates with PEMEX’s mapping systems so that managers can:
- Plan exploration strategies and lay seismic lines
- Manage logistics to track and develop roads around facilities, and plan the movement of exploration and drilling equipment
- Oversee production, including development and security at gas and liquefied gas terminals and refineries
- Manage pipeline development, including the creation of topographic maps
- Ensure the safe production, transportation and distribution of hydrocarbons
- Conduct emergency care and response planning for employees and local communities
