Challenge:
Many operators are experiencing a steady loss of experienced subsurface data managers due to retirements, restructuring, and shifting organisational priorities. As this expertise leaves the business, critical knowledge about data standards, legacy formats, physical media, and historical datasets is often lost with it.
At the same time, remaining teams are under pressure to manage growing volumes of digital and physical subsurface data with fewer resources. This creates gaps in quality control, inconsistent cataloguing practices, and increased reliance on spreadsheets or ad-hoc processes. Over time, data becomes harder to find, trust, and govern – increasing operational risk and slowing response to internal and regulatory requests.
Solution:
Interica DataCentre offers DMaaS, providing expert support for data QC, cataloging, and classification. Using Exploration Archives, we deliver a complete, searchable catalog of all datasets, ensuring governance and accessibility without increasing headcount. The DMaaS solution can be deployed in a variety of ways to suit the needs of the organization.
Impact:
Operators regain control over their data without the need to hire additional staff. By leveraging Interica DataCentre’s DMaaS and Exploration Archives, organizations achieve consistent data quality, improved governance, and faster access to critical datasets. This reduces operational risk, accelerates decision-making, and ensures long-term compliance with industry standards.
