The Gridding and Mapping Web Application is an interactive process
that assists the user in building simple color contour maps of
Oil & Gas Well data, the user is in control of what data
is to be mapped.
The Gridding and Mapping Web Application saves the user's data
on the user's PC and not at Kansas Geological Survey's (KGS)
Database. This Web Application uses a JAR Signing and
Verification Tool to protect the Web Application from being
modified by anyone else except the developer of the application.
This tool provides the capability to verify the signatures
and integrity of the Web Application. The Web Application
cannot be forged, the verification process is also a function
of the data that was originally created with the original signing
process and can not be altered. If the data has been changed
the verification signature will no longer verify as being
authentic.
This Web Application also saves the user's data as Extensible
Markup Language, XML, Files. It provides an ideal solution for
handling the rapidly expanding quantity and complexity of
information that needs to be delivered on the Web. This
Web Application will create a number of XML Files that will
be maintained in a KGS Application Data Project Directory
Structure on the user's PC. As other Web Applications are
developed by KGS the data will use the same directory structure
to save and share the user's data. An example is Well Header
Information, a XML File has been created with this module that
will have the capability of being read by other KGS Web
Applications. This will save time for the user and be able to
extend their analysis to other modules like GEMINI Project except
that the data is on the user's PC.
The Gridding and Mapping Module is a piece of the Volumetric
Module that was created for GEMINI Project. While GEMINI was
being developed many of the GEMINI partners have voiced concern
about having to upload their data to Kansas Geological Survey
(KGS) in order to analyze fields within their region of interest.
The design of the Web Application will allow the user to save
their data on their PC.
The Web Application may be run as an Applet or as a Web Start
Application. The Applet version of this Web Application runs on
the web, but saves the data to the user's PC. This is allowed
because this Applet was created as a trusted applet in which the
user gives permission for the Applet to save data on the user's
PC.
This module does provide the capability to access Kansas
Geological Survey's Database to retrieve Well Header Information
for each Kansas oil & gas well that is being added to your
project. It also sets up the future capability of accessing other
Servers for oil & gas data. A Server List XML is included
with the Gridding and Mapping Module and is read each time the
program is executed. The Gridding and Mapping Module reads this
file to determine the public Servers the Module can use to
retrieve oil & gas data. In the future it may contain many
servers making their data available to these applications and
the user only needs to select the Server they wish to retrieve
the data from.
