Our team helps upstream E&P operators transform fragmented well, seismic, and operational data into a single trusted source of truth, so exploration and drilling decisions move faster and with full confidence.
We help upstream E&P asset teams and operators consolidate fragmented subsurface data so they can make faster, confident drilling and development decisions without wasting weeks chasing data across disconnected systems.
Most E&P operators have the data they need. It is scattered across incompatible systems, inconsistently labeled, and impossible to trust at decision speed. Here is what that looks like in practice:
Geoscientists spend hours hunting data across Petrel, OpenWorks, shared drives, and SharePoint before any interpretation work starts. That delay compounds across every project, every week, every campaign.
Million-dollar drilling and development decisions get made on data that the team does not fully trust but no one has time to validate properly before the next deadline arrives.
Audits expose governance failures that existed for years without detection. By the time they surface, the regulatory and operational risk is already real and the damage is already done.
Large-scale campaigns get delayed by weeks of manual data consolidation that should take hours if the data were properly integrated and governed from the start.
Our team works exclusively in the upstream oil and gas space. The problems we solve require both deep domain knowledge and data systems expertise. Generic IT consultants cannot deliver this. Generalist data firms cannot either.
Geoscientists and engineers who need clean, integrated, trusted data to move from project framing to confident decision-making without delays caused by data readiness problems.
Technical leads responsible for data governance, system architecture, and E&O compliance across the subsurface data stack who need a senior-level delivery partner with real operator experience.
Companies that carry the data complexity of a major but cannot justify the overhead of a full-time senior data management function. We provide that capability on a project or retainer basis.
A four-phase process built from 25+ years of operator-side delivery. This is not a generic consulting framework. Every phase maps to a specific, measurable outcome for your team.
A complete audit and inventory of your subsurface data landscape. Our team maps all data sources, identifies gaps, locates duplicates and dormant assets, and flags compliance risks. This is the foundation everything else builds on.
We build or optimize the ETL integration layer connecting your seismic, well lifecycle, and operational data into one accessible, reliable source of truth. Fragmented repositories become a single, queryable system your team can depend on.
Our team embeds data governance protocols, E&O compliance rules, and quality control standards directly into your workflows. Your data stays clean, audit-ready, and aligned with regulatory requirements on an ongoing basis.
Dashboards, automated reports, and workflow tools that surface clear, actionable insight directly for asset teams and leadership. Your data works for your team instead of the other way around.
Every number below is tied to a specific engagement and a specific phase of the Data Pulse Method. These are not projections.
Our team analyzed software license utilization across the full E&P stack, identified overlap and underuse, and realigned contracts to actual workflow needs. Generated over one million dollars in absolute savings at EP Energy.
The Well Data Consolidation ETL solution standardized well lifecycle data for 350+ wells across planning, drilling, logging, and completion. Gave asset teams a single trusted record for every well decision.
Comprehensive lifecycle governance and security frameworks across global Shell assets achieved 100% compliance with E&O regulations and reduced the risk of data-related audit findings by an estimated 90%.
PetrelTrack is a digital workflow that delivers Petrel project insights without requiring a licensed application seat. Stakeholders get the data they need. License costs stay flat.
Automated metadata integration across seismic, well, and operational data sources enabled proactive monitoring and identification of archival candidates, recovering over 70 TB and reducing annual costs by $39.5K.
ArcGIS asset-based solutions deployed across cross-domain geoscience workflows reduced spatial data preparation time significantly. Four hours per person per week adds up to months of recovered interpretation time each year.
Our team has delivered subsurface data management engagements across major producing regions globally, bringing direct experience with the regulatory environments, data systems, and workflow constraints that vary by basin and operator.
Every engagement is anchored to the Data Pulse Method. We scope the work to the phase or phases that address your specific constraint, whether that is a single data migration or a full lifecycle governance program.
Full migration of seismic and well data across platforms. Our team handles data mapping, transformation, quality validation, and post-migration reconciliation with zero data loss tolerance.
Design and deployment of ETL solutions that consolidate well data from planning through drilling, logging, and completion into a single source of truth with industry-standard business rules and automated QC built in.
Governance frameworks that embed QC, security, and Entitlements and Obligations compliance into daily data workflows. Includes GDPR and CCPA alignment for operators with international assets or US-based privacy obligations. Keeps your data audit-ready and regulatorily aligned at all times, not just at audit time.
Our team analyzes your full E&P software stack against actual usage patterns and workflow needs to identify redundancy, eliminate waste, and renegotiate contracts aligned to operational reality. This is domain-specific optimization that procurement alone cannot achieve.
Power BI dashboards, Spotfire solutions, and automated reporting workflows that make subsurface and operational data accessible and actionable for asset teams and leadership. Built for upstream workflows, not generic business intelligence.
ArcGIS solutions designed for upstream asset teams that integrate cross-domain geoscience data into unified spatial platforms. Reduces data preparation time and enables better spatial analysis across exploration and development projects.
Our team brings 25+ years of direct operator experience managing subsurface data at some of the largest upstream E&P companies in the world. We do not approach your data problems as outside consultants guessing at your workflows. We have lived inside these environments, managed these systems, and delivered results measured in millions of dollars and thousands of wells.
We founded EP Data Pulse because small and mid-size operators deserve the same quality of data management infrastructure that majors have, without the cost of building a full internal team to maintain it.
Upstream data, digital technology, and database systems including SQL Server, Oracle, Azure, and cloud-based E&P data platforms (OSDU)
PPDM data standards, oil field data lifecycle management, and upstream application tracking across full asset portfolios
Geoscience application workflows across Petrel, Studio E&P, OpenWorks, Kingdom, TechLog, and seismic processing platforms
Machine learning, AI, and Python automation applied to upstream data workflows and license optimization
A fixed-scope, four-week engagement that gives your team a complete picture of where your subsurface data stands, where the gaps and compliance risks are, and a prioritized roadmap your team can act on immediately. Fixed scope. No surprises. A clean exit or a clear path to the next engagement.
Stakeholder interviews, system access, and scoping of the full data environment to be assessed.
Full audit of data sources, quality, completeness, compliance gaps, and PPDM alignment.
Internal review of findings, prioritized remediation roadmap, and estimated effort for each gap.
Final written report and executive presentation your leadership can act on the same day.
A Pulse Check is a focused audit of your current subsurface data landscape. It is where every engagement starts and where most teams first see what their data problem is actually costing them.
Our team responds to all consultation requests within one business day. For urgent data needs related to active drilling or exploration campaigns, note that in your message and we will prioritize accordingly.
