Enabling Spatial Data through SLIMM (Spatial Location Information Model and Media files)

How spatial information model can be a key enabler for unlocking new value in media files. Making the data available through data services and data products. SLIMM is an agile project set up as a scrum team and works in sprints. To be successful we start small after thinking big. Rather than perusing one potentially big product, we’ve been breaking down the ideas into smaller pieces for quick testing and iterations.

'A Case Study - Neptune’s Digital Automation'

Platform for Subsurface Data Management' As E&P operators expand, shrink or merge, managing Subsurface data becomes more challenging and unmanageable task. Data in different digital silos makes data manger’s life even more difficult to search for the best data resulting in less control and visibility. Neptune UK Data Management had similar problems and started to tackle this task with planning to building a new foundation of digital automation:

• What tasks can easily be automated?
• What tasks can be made self-serving?
• How to maximize our data visibility & overview with the least amount of effort?
• How to have a One Stop Shop for all Subsurface data?
• How to have an automated data governance framework?

Haroon Rashid, DM Lead in Neptune UK, will provide his insight into the challenges and the solutions which led them to success.
