The Challenge

Seismic and well-log data was siloed in proprietary systems, requiring weeks of IT support to assemble datasets for any new exploration question.

  • 1Petabyte-scale seismic data trapped in proprietary on-prem systems
  • 2Geoscientists waiting weeks for IT to assemble datasets
  • 3No ability to perform cross-basin geospatial analysis

Our Solution

CloudGate migrated exploration data to Azure Data Lake Storage with a self-service geospatial layer for geoscientists.

  • Cloud migration of seismic and well-log data with full lineage
  • Self-service geospatial query and visualization layer
  • On-demand HPC for seismic reprocessing
