TECHNICAL WORKSHOPS
April 28, 2025
What is Seismic for Data Professionals: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM - CST (Central Standard
Time)
Seismic data is one of earth sciences' most malleable data types. From planning through acquisition,
processing, interpretation and brokerage, seismic data is organized, reorganized, divided, combined,
renamed, recalculated, reprocessed, reinterpreted and distributed countless times. The result is often
chaotic data systems that are rife with duplication, ambiguity and confusion.
In this workshop, people who understand seismic data management will discuss PPDM’s plans related
to the development of standardized best practices and recommendations for seismic data. This task
requires a good understanding of seismic data management. We want to hear from data-driven
professionals, who can contribute to the creation of best practices for making the industry more
efficient through access to consistent, trusted seismic data. Note that the work done in this project
will be entirely technology neutral.
Banff Protocol and Mature Assets: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM - CST (Central Standard Time)
This workshop will review the plan laid out in the project charter, gather information from participants
and discuss approaches for development. Note that the work done in this project will be entirely
technology neutral. We welcome those involved in preparing, using or understanding emissions reporting
to partners, regulators, financial institutions and other stakeholders.
The content, context, meaning and derivation of data must be transparent and trusted at all levels, from
corporate head office to advanced technical systems. In a world of diverse regulatory, industry and
social expectations this is almost impossible to achieve, but the need is clear: To become more
emissions efficient, we must become more data efficient!
