Popis: This paper aims to develop a conceptual system architecture utilising the land survey data model (LSDM) to manage spatial information associated with field design for oil and gas projects. A widely accepted design science research approach was used, which includes five phases as the foundation phase, development phase, implementation phase, demonstration phase, and validation phase. The developed system architecture consists of five major components: data classes and categories, a data management system, map servers, a visualisation system, and users. This study utilised Unified Modelling Language (UML) diagrams, such as use case, and sequence diagrams to illustrate the relationship between the developed architecture and the field design process and demonstrate workflow and its interaction with stakeholders. A prototype was developed to demonstrate the viability of developed conceptual system architecture. Furthermore, a study area situated near a mining town Chinchilla at the Western Down Regional Council, Queensland, Australia, was selected to validate the prototype in the real world. This study provides a theoretical contribution towards Industrial Revolution 4.0, aiding enhanced decision-making processes within the oil and gas industry and the more effective management of energy resources.
