AWS for Industries

Announcing the AWS Implementation of the OSDU™ Data Platform Mercury Release to Fuel Sustainable Innovation

At long last, the ability to innovate subsurface workflows, eliminate data silos, and dramatically improve the efficiency and effectiveness of subsurface teams is becoming a reality. Enabling novel analytical approaches that reduce workload friction requires standardizing data in ways that have never been done before. The Mercury Release of the OSDU™ Data Platform is the first production-ready release from the OSDU™ Forum. Together with AWS and innovative software Partners, customers like Shell, Woodside, and Petrobras are leveraging the OSDU™ Data Platform to eliminate data silos and fuel breakthrough, sustainable innovation.

Collaborative Open Source Technology to Drive Industry-wide Innovation

The Open Group OSDU™ Forum enables the energy industry to develop and exploit transformational technology that creates step changes in exploration efficiency. Since its founding in 2017, the OSDU™ Forum has focused on developing a standard data platform and ISV ecosystem for the energy industry to eliminate data silos and put data at the center of the subsurface community. Today the OSDU™ Forum has nearly 200 members, and a roadmap for the OSDU™ Data Platform that spans subsurface data types, production and time series data, and new energy solutions.

move data to the center to accelerate workflows

The Mercury Release of the OSDU™ Data Platform went live on March 24, 2021. Mercury is the first production-ready version of the platform, and provides a common open source data platform to deliver ease of use for exploration and development workflows.

Supporting Energy Customers with Their OSDU Journey

With deep gratitude to the Forum and its members, AWS announces our contributions to the Mercury Release. The AWS journey on OSDU™ began in 2018 when we created the Subsurface Data Universe with Shell, which laid the foundation for the OSDUTM Forum, of which we are a founding member.

Since then, we have been working with customers such as Woodside, Shell, and Petrobras to deliver secure, reliable, and scalable solutions that reduce non-productive time, eliminate manual processes, and free subsurface teams to innovate with AWS and its ISV Partners for the future.

The OSDU™ Data Platform is part of a larger approach to enabling our energy customers to create solutions that span to the entire energy value chain, including cases to support new energy data types.  The AWS implementation of the OSDU™ Data Platform is backed by cloud-native infrastructure that’s custom-built for the cloud, designed to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations. Energy customers are then able to select from any number of best-in-breed applications to add functionality to their AWS implementation of the OSDU™ Data Platform environment, while also streamlining application procurement and oversight through options like AWS Marketplace.

Adaptable Solutions for Tomorrow’s Innovations

AWS has the world’s largest community of customers and partners with over 100 AWS Partners building energy-focused solutions. The AWS Partner Network (APN) is the global community of AWS Partners who leverage AWS to build solutions and services for customers. AWS helps Partners build, market, and sell their AWS offerings by providing valuable business, technical, and marketing support. In the OSDU™ space, we’ve engaged with dozens of AWS Partners to build OSDU-compliant applications to enable our energy customers to select from any best-in-breed application for plug-and-play interoperability with their energy workloads.
