Disaster Recovery in a Multi-Cloud Environment for Subsurface Data

When we think about disaster recovery for subsurface data, we normally take our cues from nature and consider hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, etc. Sometimes we might consider an aircraft crashing into the facility and other extreme scenarios. To mitigate these potential risks, oil and gas companies draw up business continuity plans and disaster recovery plans. From a threat to data perspective, the foundation of recovering from one of these disasters has long been the offsite […]

How Data Audits Can Save Companies Millions

Your company has collected data for decades. Do you know how much data you have? Or if that data is accurate and up-to-date? The question becomes, how much potential value are you losing due to inaccurate data? If you’re asking yourself these questions, you’re not alone. Oil and gas operators have collected subsurface geological data for generations, but this data faces challenges. Often, data collects dust and goes unused. It may be inaccurate, mislabeled, or […]

Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in Oil and Gas

Do the math. How many pieces of paper do you think would fit into ten terabytes? In a typical oil and gas digital transformation project, ten terabytes holds the equivalent of 35,000,000 pieces of paper full of text and images. That’s roughly 16,000 boxes of paper. Add another terabyte of subsurface maps and seismic sections, and that’s an additional 15,000 images and 350 boxes of paper. Just the storage for all of those boxes could […]
