Analytics is not new to the oil & gas industry. From the early days of seismic acquisition and processing, well log interpretation and reservoir simulation, industry experts have used various techniques up to the limit of existing computer power, to analyze and model data recorded in the field to make better decisions.

This online training course will take an introductory look at the opportunities, challenges and specific requirements for petroleum data analytics for the energy industry.

Data volume is exploding — more than 90% of today’s data was created in the last few years, and there is an exponential increase in new types of data, with mobile, social media, video, and the Industrial Internet of Things adding to the growth of seismic, reservoir, drilling, production, and engineering data.

The turn of the 21st century brought about more affordable sensors, field automation and process control technology to the industry.
