PPDM's Professional Development Committee (PDC) invites you to participate in our unprecedented petroleum data management job-specific Compensation Survey. This critical body of research is the first of two surveys, designed to capture important global data to help establish and support our professional discipline. Your participation is key to securing our future as recognized professionals, and enable us to provide current information to future generations of petroleum data managers. Contribute to something big and take the Survey. Thank you for participating and we encourage you to pass this Survey along to your petroleum data management colleagues.
A crowd of more than 60 data enthusiasts gathered at BP in Denver on April 30th to listen while Marty Davis, E&P Data Manager for Anadarko Petroleum Corporation in Houston, presented a compelling talk entitled “Who owns Your Data? The Challenge of Maintaining Entitlement.” Marty explained that in our efforts to build systems to efficiently store, govern, blend and QC the data that we manage so that it is easily accessible to our customers, we often overlook, or at best, minimize the importance of tracking entitlement. His talk covered the challenges of tracking the source of the various types of data that we manage and some of the potential legal consequences if we don’t. EnergyIQ furnished a Mexican buffet which included street tacos, black beans and rice which was amazing and very much appreciated by the attendees. Our next luncheon will be held on August 1, so watch for the invite to this event. Many thanks to geoLOGIC Systems, our Platinum Sponsor, and Stonebridge Consulting, our Gold Sponsor, along with thanks to our event sponsors who were BP and EnergyIQ for the Q2 luncheon.
