A path forward for upstream oil and gas businesses with a passion for reinvention

Organizations today manage copious amounts of files and data that are generated during the lifecycle of Major Capital Projects (MCP).

Organizations need to identify who will manage and execute the MCP migration to operations by determining if the internal manpower can be leveraged without impacting critical MCP daily activities.

Copious amounts of files and data can be generated during Pre-FEED (Front Ending Engineering Design) activities. During Pre-FEED, organizations focus on technical requirements, estimated costs, and potential risk evaluations for a proposed project

Organizations create, receive and share significant quantities of files and data during any given project, operation or exploratory activity. Unfortunately, the quality of each file received can vary, with quality issues usually arising when the file originator is no longer under contractual obligation to the organization.

There is no value in retaining data that is not utilized. One aspect of releasing the value is to normalise files which entails bringing them up to current technology standards.

Many global organizations are taking a fit-for-purpose approach to maintaining information and data.

The importance of accurate and accessible metadata should not be undervalued. Accessible metadata attribution provides end users with confidence that the origin, history, and integrity of each attribute comes from a reliable source

Unlike conventional computers, artificial intelligence is not programmed. On the one hand, like humans, AI learns from information. Yet on the other, it learns far faster than humanly possible. Machine learning (ML) enables AI to make a correlation between a pattern and an outcome, formulate a hypothesis, take action and then integrate that feedback into its next hypothesis. AI continuously learns, with the goal of predicting future outcomes and events with greater accuracy.
