A leading natural gas producer in Norway had been storing significant volumes of varied wellhead data from its national data repository on disk, for use with the Petrel E&P software platform. As a result, it was difficult and time consuming for the company's geoscientists and data managers to get an overview and determine if data was missing, whether it was correct, and evaluate its quality. This led to project delays, frustration, and a lack of confidence in the well data.

Combined solution

It was agreed that a solution built around the ProSource E&P data management and delivery system and the InnerLogix data quality management solution would help the company better understand and manage their exploration and production data.

The team implemented a new datastore—based on ProSource and InnerLogix software—that enabled users to define rule sets and quality-control tasks to verify data presence, attributes, and quality. The results of these measurements are displayed in reports in the form of a sigma score, allowing data managers to pinpoint issues and make any required fixes or updates in the datastore before it reaches the end user.

Following quality checks, InnerLogix software enables automatic well data transfer from the datastore to the Petrel platform, ensuring project data is always current and accurate.
