PUG Mission:

The PUG strives to be recognized as the global professional organization for GIS & Geospatial Professionals and users across the petroleum industry. We aim to work collaboratively as volunteers

to improve and enhance the use of GIS & Geospatial workflows and related technologies.

PUG Professional Discipline Mission:

Raise awareness of GIS as a Profession and provide materials that will enable petroleum industry companies the ability to create a job family for GIS/Geospatial professionals.

About the Survey

This survey was conducted by the PUG Steering Committee Professional Discipline Work Group, with the intent to provide the Petroleum GIS & Geospatial community insight into compensation as it relates to education, roles and responsibilities. This survey consists of 28 anonymous questions ranging from demographic information, salary, workplace benefits, and GIS sub-fields the PUG Board considers to be relevant in the petroleum industry. The goal of this survey is to illustrate the demographics and sectors of GIS professionals, create a benchmark for and identify the trends in compensation, determine areas of under-representation, and provide a comprehensive tool for managers, recruiters and HR professionals. The survey was launched during the 2018 ESRI PUG Houston conference on May 15, 2018 and closed August 31, 2018. The responses totaled 62 participants.

The survey was hosted through SurveyPlanet free web service. This report includes SurveyPlanet’s original responses and data visualizations, while further detailed charts were created through Microsoft Excel and Tableau Public 2018.2.

I. Current State of the Petroleum Industry

To gain more insight into the current market trends, it’s important to note the most recent downturn in the oil

commodity pricing. Starting in the fall of 2014 through the middle of 2017, over 140 petroleum-related

companies declared bankruptcy, eliminating ~$90bn (particularly offshore operators) from the market. From

2016-2017, upstream E&P companies raised ~ $100bn in new debt through corporate bond offerings.

Over the approximate 3½ months that this survey was being conducted, 1WTI ranged from $64/Bbl - $74/Bbl,

while Brent Crude ranged from $70/Bbl - $78/Bbl. The Henry Hub Natural Gas Spot price ranged from

$2.71/MMBTU - $3.08/MMBTU.

US Hydrocarbon Gas liquids exports continue to increase and are driving the industry to invest in new

pipelines and terminals infrastructure, many f which plan to come online between now and mid-2020s.

US Exports reached a record high of 54,226 Bbls in May 2018, with Canada, North Korea, Japan, India,

Singapore, Mexico and the Netherlands being the largest importers of NGLs.

New applications in the fields of remote sensing, machine learning and location analytics are allowing the

Petroleum Industry to meet growing global energy demands while increasing efficiencies and reducing costs. It

is intended for this survey to benchmark the current state of our members in this next phase of the industry’s

GIS and Geospatial technological evolution.

IV. Summary

No clear distinction was observed between the respondents’ roles (job titles) and salary ranges.

Education and length of GIS experience appeared to be the most critical factors in determining salary ranges.

Approximately 32% of respondents indicated an additional GIS certification. Almost 89% of male survey

participants reported having a higher education (Bachelor degree and above), while 93% of female survey

participants reported having a higher education.

Out of those who responded to questions regarding race, the category breakdown is as follows:

77.2 % Caucasian 12.3 % Hispanic 3.5 % Asian 3.5 % 2 or more 1.8 % Africa-American
