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.
Name of Presenter: Håvard Gustad, Specialist IM, Equinor. Specialist Data Management in Geospatial Governance and Solution in Equinor. Håvard is managing project for building enterprise data platform capabilities enabling geospatial Data Products and computing using agile methods and human centric design. He holds a master’s degree in computer science and has more than 15 years of experience from the oil & gas and energy industry, working with project management both in digitalization and offshore operations and maintenance.

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

As oil & gas moves to net zero, how might information needs change? The world is changing, society is demanding it. The way we live our lives is shifting, with environmental changes and personal well-being driving it. Funding for oil & gas exploration & production is under great pressure. Net zero laws and Energy Transition are now crucial.
• What does Energy Transition mean? • How will Operators change? • What are the information & data implications? • What should you do?
The speaker for this webinar was Neale Stidolph, Energy Transition Lead and Head of IM, Sword ITS. An introductory session suitable for information professionals in the energy sector. See examples and learn about who is involved. Work out what questions to ask in your business and how to actively participate.
