The initiative is designed to support national data repositories, regulators, and national oil companies looking for ways to leverage, maintain, and improve their data.

SPE’s 2021 Open Subsurface workshop tackled the ins and outs of open source, open data, and open access.

A growing volume of free data and reports from US shale fracturing test sites is available, with more on the way.

Digital data startups face many hazards, from potential customers unwilling to share data to buyers who just do not see the payoff in what they are selling.

The Open Group OSDU Forum aims to create a standard data platform on which members work collaboratively to enable secure, reliable, global access to all subsurface and well data.

Partnerships with big tech, tech startups, and innovative service companies—and the merging of their data, cloud, and software applications—are proving essential for operators in the scaling phase of digital deployment. Equinor, Microsoft, and Halliburton are among those joining forces.

Some 3,000 people and counting intrigued by UK oil and gas data have signed up for access to the country’s new National Data Repository. What motivated the OGA to make the data available to the public, and what can the public do with the data?

Data from the UK Oil and Gas Authority’s new data repository cover 12,500 offshore wellbores, 5,000 seismic surveys, and 3,000 pipelines.

Oil companies generate an enormous amount of data but are reluctant to share it. But more sharing of information may be required in the future to keep up with a rapidly changing energy landscape.

The Norwegian operator’s disclosure marks the first time all subsurface and production data from a field on the NCS will be available for public viewing.
