We help our clients understand their inventories of subsurface data assets (seismic data, well data, interpretation data, business data) and make them searchable, accessible, and valuable.WHO WE WORK WITH: Our client base spans global super-major Oil & Gas companies, national governments, and small independent E&P companies.WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT: Data management is what we live and breathe. With over 30 years in the industry, we understand how valuable subsurface data is for our clients and the importance of keeping this information safe yet accessible. We can read and convert the widest range of proprietary data formats in the industry and support most magnetic media types from 1960's analog technology to the latest in 3592 and LTO technologies. We develop our own software and provide our services from our own, private, data centers, Microsoft Azure, AWS, and GCP. We are independently audited to AICPA SSAE18 SOC2® to demonstrate our commitment to the safety and security of your data.WHY IT WORKS: We specialize in transforming data into digital, accessible subsurface assets to maximize the return on your investment. We capture the metadata into a PPDM 3.8 data model so you can understand what you don’t know about your geophysical data assets and identify what’s missing. We are heavily involved in OSDU, have launched our own AI/ML and Analytics tools for process improvement and are exploring the potential of blockchain as part of the Blockchain 4 Energy consortium.READY TO TALK?
