Abstract
Oil companies are frequently faced with the problem of delineating oil concession boundaries in unmapped areas. Such boundaries are often denned by latitude and longitude lines drawn on outline maps. Usually, time limits are set for defining the concession boundaries which preclude the use of conventional surveying techniques. This paper describes the manner in which Aero Service Corporation employed shoran trilateration and shoran controlled photography for geodetic control in the Peten area of northern Guatemala. This method is commonly known as the SCP or secondary control point method.
