CDA operates the Well DataStore and the Seismic DataStore in the UK. Participation in both is entirely voluntary and must be justified by CDA on the basis of the business benefits available.
CDA has recently made a successful case which convinced operators on the UKCS to participate in the establishment of a new common store for seismic post-stack data. Developing the business case was done at the same time as a tendering exercise for the provision of the ?Seismic DataStore? services. The final business case that was made is equally applicable to CDA?s long-established Well DataStore and this presentation describes how the case was made and its principal components.
