PETRONAS E&P Technical Data Standards Triple-A Approach – Value through Collaboration


View PDF   
Talk Description.
Data standards are an essential component of the data management challenge in any organization. This is especially true in an upstream E&P organization where the cost of data acquisition is significant and the data entropy effect is high. Much of the value of data is derived in workflows, reusability and sustainability.

However, the creation of good data standards is not easy. It is not exciting, with no quick short term gains, it is tedious, requires meticulous checking of dependencies within the organization as well as knowledge of the availability of similar work outside the organization. Very often, this work is also not well recognized.

With the recent creation of a Technical Data Division with PETRONAS E&P, data standardization is given due recognition as an important part of the Technical Data Management Framework. This paper describes the phased approach that is now being followed to build up PETRONAS E&P’s data management capability for the longer term.
Fadhilah joined technical data management team in 2013. She is with the Technical Assurance team since then looking after the technical data governance which covers the technical applications portfolio management, data architecture, data quality and data standards. She’s married with two kids and enjoy listening to Malay traditional songs

PETRONAS E&P Technical Data Quality Metrics Initiative – Going Green with Data


Watch Video     View PDF   
Talk Description.
People, process & technology are often touted as the 3 important components an organization must have in order to ensure that the data is managed properly and effectively. While that is true to a large degree, the existence of this tripartite in the organization does not necessarily support the sustainability of good data management practices over the longer term. Data quality today still remains as a significant challenge we face in the E&P industry.

For the data we use within upstream E&P, data quality metrics, when implemented in the right databases, creates a transparency that cannot be easily achieved by any other means, and provides us with a powerful tool to highlight issues before the problem becomes too big. A proper data quality framework also address data issues in holistic way and combines with data ownerships and accountabilities to ensure the right interventions and corrections get done.

This paper describes PETRONAS E&P’s data quality metrics initiative that will progressively improve the quality of data used by the business and result in a traffic-light format data quality dashboard that gets more and more green.
Hassan Sabirin is the Data Quality Metrics focal person for Technical Data at PETRONAS.

He graduated with a BSc Computational Geoscience from Imperial College London in 2007. Having started off his career as a Wellsite and Exploration Geologist, he is familiar with the various Exploration activities.

His current position reflects his passion in integrating computer systems and science best practice to create value. In his free time, Hassan enjoys tending to plants, computer programming, gadget tinkering and toying around with GIS
