Osokey

Discovery, access and visualisation of subsurface data

Osokey’s solutions, whether they are configured for on-prem or in the cloud, make seismic and subsurface data easie

r to discover, view, understand and share.

Through an intuitive map-based environment, authorised users can navigate a company’s seismic repository geographically, select seismic lines and interact with the associated data and reports; by connecting catalogue information with the actual subsurface data, it helps technical teams make better decisions based on location, geological setting, data quality and business relevance.

We see the benefits of cloud technology and we have developed solutions that are tailored for geoscience data which is typically large, complex and difficult to handle, making it a perfect candidate for cloud-based solutions.
Our solutions are web-based, allowing data and/or

metadata to be accessed anytime and anywhere. We are passionate about keeping our products simple and intuitive to use, enabling everyone to use them without requiring users to install specialist viewing software or depend on conventional data-delivery processes.

Osokey’s solutions have been used by operators and government agencies for over 10 years; we have enabled transformative change, delivered countless improvements with no downtime for maintenance or deployment resulting in a sustainable cloud based subsurface data management solution.
Osokey is now delighted to be entering a new phase as part of the Stratus Alliance.

Osokey within the Stratus Alliance

The Stratus Alliance is an initiative that connects three specialist capabilities:

• Tape Ark provides industrial-scale tape and disk ingestion, automation, logistics and cloud migration.
• Moveout Data provides seismic expertise, data conditioning, quality control and its proprietary Metaseis technology. Review the list of Tape Media Formats and Data Formats.
• Osokey provides automated ingestion, metadata harmonisation, subsurface visualisation and access.

A typical workflow begins with Tape Ark recovering data from physical media. Moveout will then identify, condition, reconcile and quality-control the resulting datasets. Osokey provides the browser-based environment through which authorised users can discover, view and assess their required value adding data. As the access and visualisation partner within the Stratus Alliance, Osokey helps transform migrated and conditioned data into an accessible global subsurface resource. The result is a sustainable, cloud based subsurface data management solution.

Access and visualisation

Traditional catalogues may indicate that a survey or seismic line exists, but they rarely allow users to examine the data immediately.
This creates a gap between finding a catalogue entry and understanding whether the underlying data is complete, relevant or useful. Users may need to request a restore, wait for files to be delivered and load them into specialist software before they can make an informed decision.
Osokey eliminates this delay by combining spatial cataloguing with web-based seismic viewing.

Users can:

• Navigate seismic holdings through a map
• Search for surveys and lines by location
• View seismic data through a web browser
• Understand relationships between surveys and areas of interest
• Evaluate data before transferring large files
• Identify gaps, overlaps and potential duplication
• Capture corporate knowledge spatially
• Make better-informed retention and migration decisions
• This transforms the catalogue from a static administrative record into an interactive view of the organisation’s subsurface data assets.

Access data anytime, anywhere

Osokey operates through a web browser and does not require specialist software to be installed on the user’s device.
Authorised users can access subsurface data wherever the service is available, supporting distributed technical teams, partners, regulators and decision-makers.
This can reduce dependence on local workstations, physical data rooms and repeated transfers of large seismic files. It also creates a consistent access environment for users working across offices, countries and organisations driving greater collaboration.

Gaining value through visualisation

Moving data to the cloud is only the beginning. Its value emerges when people can find it, inspect it, understand it and work with it.

Through the Stratus Alliance, Osokey provides the visualisation environment that turns cloud-based seismic data into an accessible subsurface resource.

The advantages offered by the cloud mean data can remain in cost efficient cold cloud storage whilst users perform quality-control workflows. Osokey’s quality assessment can be applied consistently across a much larger portion of your data repository; delivering automated and standardised metadata which includes:

• Reviewing EBCDIC header population
• Producing data-quality metrics
• Generating advanced seismic attributes
• Reviewing pre-stack and post-stack volumes
• Visualising seismic time slices
• Live trace coverage polygons
• Delivering standardised SEG-Y files
• Supporting processing-project iteration
• The scalability of cloud infrastructure allows organisations to move beyond purely sequential, workstation-based analysis to a portfolio-wide comparative and harmonised metadata catalogue.

Stratus Alliance

Osokey is excited to be a part of this collaboration unlocking legacy subsurface data. Petabytes of valuable information remain trapped on obsolete media and in proprietary formats; through the Stratus Alliance, Tape Ark, Moveout Data and Osokey provide energy companies with a coordinated pathway from inaccessible physical archives to trusted, cloud-accessible and AI-ready information.

Oil and Gas Data Migration 

Tape Ark^® specializes in oil and gas tape data migration, ensuring that all seismic and subsurface data are efficiently migrated to cloud storage, revitalizing your data assets for modern usage. By focusing on oil and gas data migration, Tape Ark removes the barriers caused by outdated storage methods, unlocking new potential for your exploration and production activities. 

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

Review the list of Tape Media Formats and Data Formats that Tape Ark can migrate to your preferred cloud platform.  Read more about our Metadata Extraction Service here.
