08:20  Opening and Introduction

08:30  In the Back Rooms of Data Science: Unveiling the Invisible Work of Data Management  -Thomas Østerlie, Associate Professor, Norwegian University of Science and Technology

This presentation illuminates the often-invisible but critical work of data managers in oil and gas companies, revealing the complex skills and effort required to prepare data for analysis. The study highlights the lack of recognition data managers receive, despite their essential role in ensuring data quality and enabling data-driven decision-making. It advocates for greater visibility, support, and the development of broader skillsets for data managers to enhance their impact and value within their organisations.

11:30  Transform OSDU Data into Actionable Intelligence

- Chad Brockman, Principal Engineer, Google Cloud

While the OSDU™ platform unifies subsurface data, its native JSON format remains a bottleneck for analysts using standard reporting and mapping tools. Our presentation introduces a cloud data connector we built to translate OSDU data into familiar relational and graph formats, making it instantly usable. We'll show how we used GenAI to automatically generate the complex schema mappings, a task that is otherwise manual and error-prone. With data in a standard SQL or graph database, analysts can finally connect directly with the tools they already use. This approach also establishes a clean, accessible foundation for building new GenAI tools, such as natural language query systems and agentic systems.

12:00  The business C.A.S.E. (Captured And Shared Expertise)

- Fredrik Valde Anthonisen, CTO, POSC Caesar Association (PCA)

A conveyor belt for common industry knowledge.

12:25  OSDU Data Platform - the key to successful adoption and business value generation  - David Butcher, Product Owner OSDU, Halliburton

The panacea of a new breed of lightweight, cloud and OSDU native applications, needs to be tempered with the reality that the industry overwhelmingly relies on applications that were developed many years ago. The OSDU Forum has however turned a corner, and vendors are now leveraging OSDU as a standard for the exchange of data between traditional applications, without the need for costly reengineering. In this presentation we will demonstrate the progress made to date, discuss the collaborations that have supported this work, and highlight the added benefits and value that OSDU brings to existing applications and workflows.
