GIS Mapping and Spatial Analysis for Energy Sector
Details
GIS is a computer-based tool for the storage, manipulation, and analysis of geographically referenced information. It is a system of hardware and software used for performing multiple functions related to geographic data. Providing energy sector organizations with access to complete information significantly reduces project delays, administrative costs, cost of compliance, and ensures that project management is conducted more effectively.
It is for this reason, that we present you this training on GIS and remote sensing for energy to equip the professionals involved in the energy sector with skills that will aid proper management of the energy resources.
