The paper utilizes the technologies of GIS （geographical information systems） and RS （remote sensing） in order to study large amount of weather data recorded in the field from different sources related to oil and gas industry in Rub＇ AI-Khali desert. The main objective is to identify the wind directions and its movement in Kidan areas and the areas south and east of Shaybah in Rub＇ Al-Khali desert. The study used different sources of data mainly recorded by the seismic campaigns＇ base camps and the drilling rig camps or the civil works camps. Wind Roses were created for all metrological weather stations in the study area. Also, the study tried to analyze the dune types using satellite imageries and identify the relation of its shapes to the wind direction. The final aim of the result of this study is to help in planning best locations to build facilities for new major oil and gas project.展开更多

In ancient times this process seems to have been accomplished based on the scheme of arrangements being contained in the leader＇s mind and instructions communicated verbally. Modem approaches to solving the twin challenges of first thinking through the ＇plan＇ and then communicating the plan to the people who need to do ＇the right work, at the right time, in the right place＇ use sophisticated graphics, charts, diagrams, and computa- tions. This paper traces the development of the concepts most project managers take for granted including bar charts and critical path schedules from their origins （which are far earlier than most people think） through to the modem day. The first section of the paper looks at the development of concepts that allow the visualization of time and other data. The second looks at the shift from static representations to dynamic modeling through the emergence of computers, dynamic calculations and integrated data from the 1950s to the present time.展开更多
