New IPAS System Integrates with ArcGIS for Improved Energy Site Assessment
by Chad Cooper and
Malcolm Williamson,
CAST, University of Arkansas
"Energy companies want to make sure that their construction projects have a minimal level of impact on an area's environment and habitat. With good data and models, GIS creates pictures of environmental outcomes that help planners select optimal project sites. Geospatial specialists at the University of Arkansas Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST) have designed a system that integrates models into ArcGIS, runs authoritative data, and creates geospatial visualizations for determining the level of a project's impact."

The EFD program, funded by federal, state and foreign government agencies, industry and environmental organizations, provides unbiased science to policy makers and identifies, develops and tests new technologies, processes and systems to reduce the environmental footprint associated with oil and gas activities, from well site selection through natural gas compression. The program, approximately $4 million per year, is engaged in research and technology transfer activities from the Western Slope of the Rockies to the Ukraine, and from the North Slope of Alaska to Columbia (South America). Research includes land, air and water issues, as well as public perception investigations. The program was honored with the Chairman's Stewards Award for Environmental Partnership at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.
