Interica DataCentre provides specialised subsurface data storage and data transformation services, built by people who understand the unique needs of oil and gas and energy projects. For more than two decades, our ISO 9001 certified team has provided secure, climate‑controlled facilities for, seismic tapes, well logs, maps and other technical documents, while digitising and remastering legacy media into modern, standards‑compliant formats with rich supporting metadata.
Decades of exploration data sit on tapes, disks and paper that can become obsolete or unreadable over time. Preserving these assets is essential for regulatory compliance, future reinterpretation and reducing the cost of new surveys, which can be millions of dollars.
Interica DataCentre offers integrated services that keep your data usable, accessible and compliant at every stage.
We modernise your legacy media and capture essential metadata so your data can be searched, managed and reused with confidence. Here’s a closer look at what we can do:
Choose a safe, cost‑effective home for both physical and digital E&P assets. We offer:
Enhance your in‑house capabilities with expert services that reduce risk and boost efficiency. Our services include:
Our storage and data transformation services are designed for the people who protect and work with subsurface data, including:
Data managers and IT teams – Streamline data retention policies and ensure regulatory compliance.
Geophysicists and geoscientists – Access historical seismic and well data when planning new surveys or re‑evaluating prospects. Our team helps you recover tapes and remaster them into usable formats.
Regulators and environmental teams – Maintain complete, compliant, long-term records of subsurface information.
Energy Companies and Operators – Protect decades of exploration data and avoid costly re-surveys through reliable preservation.
The UK Oil and Gas Authority regulates the National Data Repository (NDR), a central repository that holds exploration and production data for the UK sector.
Certain licence holders must submit their seismic, well and production data to the NDR, while others are encouraged to do so. Submissions must meet strict technical standards for format, quality and metadata.
Our team handles every step of the NDR submissions process, from identifying relevant data, transcribing and running data quality checks to converting it to the required formats and creating the metadata. We have successfully delivered large projects for UK operators, drawing on extensive experience with both modern and historic media types. We also advise on strategies to address common challenges such as integrating data from multiple systems, ensuring data quality and managing resource constraints.
Seismic tapes, well logs, and other physical media degrade when exposed to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Our climate‑controlled facility preserves these materials and prevents data loss. Off‑site storage also satisfies risk‑management policies and reduces the chance of accidental damage or loss.
We can read and remaster most media types and formats used in the energy industry, including SEG‑standard seismic and navigation data, industry‑standard well formats, and proprietary encapsulations. We also digitise hard‑copy records such as well logs, maps and sections, and build detailed metadata catalogues for easier search and management.
We maintain detailed catalogues and offer digital delivery, allowing you to request and receive data quickly and in some cases with a same-day turnaround. For urgent projects or disaster recovery, we can upload your data to the cloud so your team can have fast access.
Interica DataCentre is your dedicated off-site disaster recovery facility for secure storage of subsurface and corporate data. We maintain duplicate copies of your critical datasets in our ISO 9001-certified, environmentally controlled site, ensuring long-term protection and full data integrity. These copies are updated on a regular schedule so you always have an up-to-date version available, enabling fast data restoration and business continuity in the event of system failure, data loss, or unexpected outages.
