Information For Advanced Users
Although this application provides a number of useful and sophisticated
geoprocessing and cartographic functions, some users might find the need
for more advanced Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis. Some of this functionality may
include sophisticated queries and advanced cartographic functions
including labeling and annotation. Given the interoperable nature of this
product, these data can be used in a variety of applications. The
following options are available:
-
Using ArcGIS Desktop—The services implemented in the
Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Interactive Map Service application and interface can be easily
integrated into your existing data in a 9.x version of ArcGIS Desktop. Add
an internet server by using the "Add Internet Server" dialogue in
ArcCatalog. The internet host name will be
http://certmapper.cr.usgs.gov. Once the internet server has been
successfully added, select the map service name, "US_Production." This
service can be used in either ArcCatalog or ArcMap. For more details
