EPSG (European Petroleum Survey Group)

EPSG, or the European Petroleum Survey Group, is an organization that develops and maintains a standard set of codes and definitions for geographic information systems (GIS). These codes help identify different coordinate reference systems, which are like maps showing where places are on Earth. The EPSG database provides a reliable way for industries, including oil and gas and others, to ensure their mapping and spatial data are consistent and accurate across various applications and systems, facilitating better decision-making and data sharing.
