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
