Data Consortiums: Translating Success from other Industries to Upstream O&G
E&P companies collect petabytes of data, but how effectively are those petabytes analyzed? If companies are relying solely on their own data, then they can only learn about what they’ve done — with no insight into broader industry trends. To discover new value, they’ll have to go beyond the same isolated datasets. Industries like insurance and finance have already discovered the benefits of pooling their data into comprehensive, well-organized environments that enable companies to develop a more holistic understanding of their industry — all without exposing sensitive or protected data. Using analogous case studies, this talk will explain how the energy sector can achieve benefits — such as lower risk and higher productivity — by creating a similar data consortium.
