The Management of Oil Industry Exploration & Production Data (B&W Edition)

Managing technical data within an oil company is a valuable and specialized skill. This book provides a unique insight into the practical and theoretical concepts required to successfully manage subsurface technical data. It explains how the "Data Management Body of Knowledge" published by DAMA in 2009 can be applied, and where its generic approach doesn't quite fit with real subsurface data. It also shows how advances in project management, the ITIL service delivery framework, enterprise architecture, change management, document management and information architecture can all fit together to help deliver effective data management to the business. It covers how to present this success to users and senior executives so they can appreciate the business benefits that improved data delivers. This affordable black and white edition contains more than 100 figures that help illustrate all the key points. A full color edition is also available as ISBN-10: 1482627302. In addition the site http://dm4ep.com/ has been created to support this book.
