Oil & Gas Data Lifecycle Solutions

Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in assisting clients to preserve and manage their data, OvationData embraces the philosophy of true “Data Lifecycle Management”. We recognize that all data sets have different access and storage requirements and that these also change over time – over the life time of the data. We understand the complexities and intricacies that the management of vast libraries of exploration data can present. We don’t just recover, transcribe or copy data from one type of media to another; we understand the data itself, adding value to your data where it counts.

Geophysical Scanning – Seismic Section & Well Log Digitization

Unlock the value contained within your paper seismic sections and well logs by bringing them back to life. Have your aging, hard copy documents preserved and digitized with backup copies and then breathe new life into them by the digital conversion and enhancement of the data. This enables further interpretation and workstation processing – adding value to your existing but aging hard copy data assets.

Post Production Data Collaboration Projects

OvationData works very closely with industry and is currently involved in several Government funded initiatives set up to address challenges within the post production and video & broadcast industry. These joint venture projects bring together key players to investigate and carry out research and development and generally involve the testing of new technologies prior to commercial launch.  Some of our consortium partners include BBC, Pinewood Studios, Sohonet, Smoke & Mirrors, IT Innovations and Molinaire.

International Mobilization

The OvationData team often mobilizes to remote locations to complete large data migration projects. Our experience provides us with unique insight into the requirements for these types of projects and the readiness of spare parts, appropriate power requirements, portable stiction reversal ovens, and other related equipment. Where practical in our remote projects, OvationData always makes use of and train local staff in the services being supplied and software being used.
