Challenge: Develop and implement a master
database for seismic data, new group workflows, and standards for managing and
handling physical seismic data.
Solution: Schlumberger and KOC E&P
Information Management planned for a master database, containing all poststack
seismic data. This involved creation of new workflows, standards, and
conventions related to seismic data across several KOC groups, including
research and technology, exploration, and field development. In addition, the
plan addressed management of physical seismic tapes and reports.
Results:
- Dedicated, comprehensive seismic database
- Effective corporate workflows
- Increased confidence in data quality
- Barcoded field tapes and seismic reports, stored and loaded to the
eSearch physical data management systems
- Easily interrogated repository; data is found in minutes, rather
than days
