Background To deliver projects on time, global project teams of geoscientists, geomodellers, and reservoir engineers are working much faster than ever before, quite often asynchronously. However, these teams struggle to find, share, and access relevant seismic, well, and interpretation data currently held in data silos, and across disparate systems. Geoscientists need a better, data-centric way […]

With the advent of digitalization initiatives and cloud storage, there may be a tendency to forget the “other side”— cases in which specific data or assets still have no digital equivalents. For oil and gas operations in particular, access to physical assets such as paper documents, tapes, or even core samples, is important for gaining […]

Background Data management plays a crucial role in the energy industry due to its significant impact on the sector’s efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness. Effective data management helps energy companies to make informed decisions, optimize operations, reduce costs, and improve environmental performance. However, one of the common data management challenges in the energy industry is effectively […]

Geosciences and engineering professionals congregated in Madrid this month to focus on “Leading Geosciences into a New Era.” The 83rd annual EAGE was a great opportunity to discuss how technology meets the new energy sector challenges. I enjoyed many inspiring conversations and want to share some of my takeaways about the energy transition and the […]

Overview The rationale for bringing new digital technologies into any organization includes increased productivity and better, faster decision making. Ultimately, we are all looking to improve organizational efficiency, and digital transformation holds great promise in this regard. However, the adoption of new ways of working is often a challenge. Those of us who have worked […]

Seismic data, and the accompanying subsurface image and interpretation, are some of the primary assets for oil and gas operators with active exploration and development teams. Quick, seamless access to seismic and interpretation data from various software applications is a key component of all integrated seismic workflows for every exploration team at all oil and […]
