12:30 OSDU core concepts - Business Decisions
- Bjarne Rosvoll Bøklepp, Lead Analyst Digital/Data Management, Equinor
A fundamental assumption is that data is primarily (or even solely) acquired to make better decisions. However, if we are not able to objectively show or prove that our decisions are “good” and improving over time - then we cannot claim to be data driven, nor to be learning organizations!

The SoT will automatically compare and rectify discrepancies in well metadata and data from the customer, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD), and the Operator. The process begins with data ingestion facilitated by Microsoft Fabric, which allows the ingestion of data from diverse sources and formats. The extraction of data from unstructured PDFs from Diskos is addressed using Al and NLP techniques. The identified discrepancies and the corrected metadata are then presented to the customer in a Power BI dashboard. The project initially focuses on well coordinates before delving into more detailed well data.
