AI Enhances Reusability of Legacy Geoscience Data
The value of legacy data that may not be immediately available in machine readable formats has been repeatedly demonstrated in oil and gas exploration. Now that value is increasing as operators leverage their inventory of subsurface geotechnical data to move into low-carbon geological energy projects. When data managers stress the importance of well curated metadata to make legacy data more findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable, some application vendors will pose the question: “Why do we need metadata, can’t we just use ChatGPT?”. After all, the AI data management market is expected to reach US$ 114.99 billion by 2031.
This webinar will explore some of the areas where Generative algorithms, Large language models, Augmented intelligence, and Machine learning (GLAM) can enhance the value of legacy subsurface data. We will also discover why those technologies don’t automatically solve your data problems. Join us to learn how Katalyst is leveraging emerging data technologies to assist companies engaged in geothermal power, carbon and energy storage, native gas exploration, offshore wind and solar, and critical mineral operations.

Data Management Brings New Energy to New Energy
CCUS is important to the future of new energy, exploring for and evaluating potential reservoirs uses data we already know and understand (wells, seismic, VSP, microseismic) as we evaluate deep saline reservoirs. Monitoring these reservoirs is expected to generate PB’s of new data; fibre optics (DAS data) to measure strain, acoustics, temperature as well as InSAR data and soil gas monitoring. Data strategy will be critical as we move into long life cycle, data intensive monitoring.
In this webinar, Sue Carr, Solutions Manager, Subsurface Consultant for Katalyst Data Management, will discuss what is driving the interest in carbon capture, the lifecycle of a carbon capture project, and how Katalyst is uniquely qualified to help with your carbon capture data management requirements.

Geopost is an essential tool for your technical and business team.
Cloud Data Guidelines
Organizations in the resource sector are rapidly gaining experience with managing technical data in the cloud. As they increasingly look to commercial cloud offerings to manage their data, they are also identifying the need to develop a set of best practices and data governance principles for cloud data management.
In this webinar, we will consider data governance for organizations planning or expanding their use of cloud data platforms. Examples will include: how data governance enables more efficient access to existing petro-technical data, the unique challenges of working with data on clouds in jurisdictions with data sovereignty or data privacy considerations, and the way that data standards are being adopted and adapted for use with cloud data platforms.
Outsourcing Tape Services
There are a multitude of data storage media and devices that have been utilized in the energy industry, yet after decades, we are still investing in hardware that is used less frequently and needs replacing. Why is this? With an increase in working from home and general office downsizing, it may be time to question whether onsite media reading capabilities is even needed. Can ingestion of data occur without anyone in the company having to read it?
Craig Jones, Business Development Manager for Katalyst in the EAME region, will provide a quick look at how tape services can be outsourced and what benefits this can involve.
Kick Starting your Asset Acquisitions & Dispositions
Trish Mulder will provide a process overview for selling or acquiring an asset, questions to ask yourself through the process and how Katalyst can assist you every step of the way.
