Over the past decade, digital technologies for storing, processing, and integrating data have become a key driver of development in petroleum geology. Against this backdrop, traditional fieldwork organization, based on paper diaries and cartographic tablets, exhibits significant limitations associated with the risk of information loss, referencing errors, and the high labor intensity of subsequent manual data processing. This paper presents an approach to digital support for geological fieldwork based on the combined use of the Sherpa software package and GIS INTEGRO, using a specialized Primary Information Manager module. The approach was tested using fieldwork data from 2025 in the Vorogovka River area (Pre-Yenisei Prospective oil and gas area), where the Sherpa — GIS INTEGRO digital integration was used to quickly collect, structure, and interpret data on pre-Jurassic basement outcrops.
