The oil and gas industry is well accustomed to the fact that data is considered the new oil. There is no better place to find this than in the trove of data assets held by energy companies with the cloud based machine learning tools available in today’s modern cloud platforms.

This industry has a long history of storing massive volumes of data, such as seismic (pre-stack and post-stack), well data, reports, contracts, and other exploration and production datasets, in offsite storage facilities. Boxes contain valuable exploration and production data, which have significant potential to enable new reservoir discoveries and revenue streams. They are sitting idle instead of being used to form the corpus of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Understanding your data’s real worth requires a modern approach to oil and gas data management and a new way of thinking about seismic data migration over traditional storage methods. 

Cloud-enabled technologies drive the industry, helping oil and gas companies access the value and utility of their data assets. However, most companies still have a vast majority of their data sitting in offsite vaults, inaccessible to modern tools. Consider the following with your oil and gas data management: 

  • Are you storing (and paying for) data you no longer need?
  • Can this data be monetized or traded? 
  • How much money can be saved by seismic data migration? 
  • How easy would it be to identify data you no longer want to keep, or should not have, from data that you do wish to retain without paying the cost of reading it all?
  • Is there an efficient and low-cost way to audit the tape media collection to provide confidence in next step decisions? 
  • What tape media are at risk of data loss due to their age, and how valuable is this data?
  • What are the use cases if data was accessible in the cloud – anywhere in the world?

The answers to these questions appear straightforward, but those who work in the energy industry know that’s not the case. Tape Ark has designed its solutions to address all these questions. We enable the oil and gas industry to regain fast, efficient access to their valuable data assets in the cloud and understand the worth of this data in order to leverage cloud based seismic data migration and management. 

Tape Ark is committed to doing data justice. We have a suite of seismic data migration solutions to preserve and migrate your data, maximising its value for today, tomorrow, and beyond.
