C. Create a new Oil & Gas project

Introduction

Geocap provide empty folder structure for various types of projects. This will give you a starting point to get organized with your own project. A project template either gives you a ready made folder structure, or it gives you a suite of folders to choose from.

An empty project structure may be used for communicating relevant data to colleagues, or for analysis and trouble shooting by us. To send parts of a project to us in Geocap Support, even only a single dataset, you may copy the dataset (or a folder) from your main project and paste it into an empty project. Then zip and send the disk folder projectname.zip to support@geocap.no.
