Converge users have access to numerous map layers (+20 and growing) that can be accessed very simply. Click on the 'Layers' icon in the grey mapping toolbar.  


These reference layers, which include thematized views for pipelines, facilities, and wells, deliver a comprehensive spatial context for evaluating infrastructure integrity and operational risk. By consolidating critical datasets into a single interactive platform, they enhance decision-making, improve situational awareness, and streamline workflows.
