Managing data assets to improve business performance

A project to improve integration of data and computer applications for exploration, appraisal, and field-development planning is ongoing at Sarawak Shell Bhd. An increased awareness of the importance of data as an asset has resulted in definition of a project aimed at improving the exploitation and management of this asset. This is expected to affect business through increased staff productivity and realization of new development opportunities through better subsurface interpretation and field management.
