Founded in November 1998, the Americas Petroleum Survey Group (APSG) is an unincorporated association of individuals.  Members include experts in geomatics, surveying, positioning, geospatial data management, and mapping sciences from E&P companies, oilfield service companies, survey contractors, consultants, and academia.  Check out the impressive mix of companies at our Public Member Directory.

APSG is well regarded for its industry leadership, educational programs, and professional networking. 

After a tremendous year of building up the organization in 2009, the year 2010 will be a time of cementing those gains and returning to our core remit - the sharing of essential industry practices in acquiring, treating and managing survey and other spatial information.

As the incoming Chair, I set the following goals for 2009-2010

    •    Continue to focus on educational opportunities, including the ESRI PUG, while reaching out to other events
    •    Develop affiliations with other organizations
    •    Strengthen our organization by reaching the 250-member level and chartering at least one new chapter
    •    Maintain the previous fundraising and member recruitment efforts, including outreach to university students
    •    Begin the process of refreshing our educational materials with a look consistent with the new website

This year will present many opportunities for our members to be involved with any aspect of the organization they like. If you want to be involved, just email one of the officers or committee chairs - or find us at one of our meetings or events. And, as always, thanks to the members who continue to offer their time and passion to further the APSG’s objectives.
