Our Nov 19 forum tackled some of the most difficult issues which are emerging out of the ongoing transformation to digital technology.
Links to presentations and videos are within the agenda below.

Companies are finding they don't have the organisational capabilities they need, their data lakes are not giving the ROI they expected, their production analytics systems are making it hard to get value, their migration to cloud data storage is providing tough.

ORGANISATIONAL DIGITAL CAPABILITY - The organisational capability implications of digital for E&P companies - how should you change your organisations and develop your capability to get most value out of it?

DATA LAKES - lots of companies have invested in data lakes but are they getting the return on investment they expected - and how can the situation be improved? How do you make sure you understand why the system is telling you what it is telling you?

CLOUD BASED DATA MANAGEMENT - everybody wants to do it - how do you make sure it works well?

ANALYTICS ON PRODUCTION DATA - every oil company likes the idea of using analytics to work out how to improve production - what is the best way to start a project to get the best results?

IMPROVING YOUR DATA PLATFORM - the best way to set up a data platform to improve company performance

Hampton Data

Challenges of moving information management to the cloud - both software and data


View PDF   
Talk Description

  • Using the cloud for data storage - and doing IM on data already on the cloud - is relatively easy.
  • But to get the most benefits you need software which can put data and digital work immediately on the cloud after it has been created.
  • It proves to be a challenge convincing big E&P software companies to let you put data on your own cloud - when they'd rather you used THEIR cloud.
  • An alternative is to work with new E&P software applications which can run on any cloud based environment you like, with input data on the same cloud

Causing E&P problems with digitalisation

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.

I wouldn't start from here: A data scientists' guide to the analytics of production engineering data


Watch Video    View PDF   
Talk Description
Advances in AI and machine learning allow previously intractable problems to be addressed through a combination of data, intelligence and computational power. Experience has taught us that unless starting with a greenfield system, much of the effort involved with applying such techniques will be spent on dealing with the complexities of legacy data. In this talk, we will give advice on how to prepare for or avoid some of the common problems encountered when taking analytics solutions from prototype to production.
