Abstract
Conventional and inadequate facility monitoring and planning commonly addressed severe consequences, including a significant amount of time allocation, which might lead to disruption in public service provision, cost, property damage, injuries, and fatalities. This study aims to answer the challenges in conventional facility monitoring and construction planning in the oil and gas industry by utilizing emerging technology, Augmented Reality (A.R.), and GIS integration. This research presents a new workflow involving site suitability analysis, field data collection, data visualization that integrates GIS capabilities, mobile technology, and A.R. connected seamlessly, called GIS-AR. Based on the results of this study, with approximately 1.6 meters measurement deviation, less operating time (< 10 seconds), and few workers involved (only one person), GIS-AR implementation showed benefits in facility operations, monitoring, and planning in the oil and gas industry. Those values answered the challenges faced by the industry in time management and worker efficiency, at which the cost can be potentially saved up to 98%. The convergence of GIS, web mapping, mobile technology, and A.R. implies the emergence of location-based systems and, in sequence, the diminishing use of traditional analog maps by smartphone users. This convergence supports a new way of spatial data exploration.
