Dr Duncan Irving - Practice Partner, oil and gas - Teradata
Making subsurface data storage and computing fit for purpose
Talk Description.
- Achieving a data management infrastructure which is fit for purpose - able to handle >10Pb data volumes, millisecond level well data samples, decade long data storage, multiple users with different agendas and applications, in a secure and robust framework
- Avoiding data being compartmentalised by discipline, culture and geography - making data task, function and application agnostic
- Removing need for fixes and workarounds in the presentation layer
- Learning from other industries with massive data sets continually changing - banks, retailers, telecommunications companies, internet search
- Linking high performance computing systems into the IT infrastructure
Duncan Irving is the Oil & Gas Consulting Team Lead, EMEA & APAC with Teradata. Duncan joined Teradata from the University of Manchester where he instructed in geophysical interpretation and geocomputational methods for the last seven years. He was involved in consulting and research projects involving user interactions with massive subsurface datasets and more general upstream data management, and he continues to maintain research links as an honorary lecturer. One long term project was with Teradata and he drove the development of Teradata's capabilities in the Upstream Oil and Gas area. This time provided him with a deep understanding of the capabilities of Teradata and how they can best be used in the petroleum industry.
He is a geophysicist and also has a PhD in glacial geophysics and geotechnical engineering (why frozen ground moves faster during climate warming and how this affects infrastructure). Duncan lives in the hills outside Manchester with his wife and three children. He is a mountaineer, fell runner and is a card-carrying member of the CAMpaign for Real Ale.
