EPICenter = E&P Information Center
E&P data volume has increased rapidly in the last years. In addition, data formats are permanently undergoing technological changes. Increasing data quantities as well as technical progress will even accelerate.
At RWE Dea´s E&P business the E&P Informationcenter improves data management. The EPICenter at RWE Dea provides users with descriptive information about business processes, application systems, data types and data stores, processing rules and data management rules in order to support the business.
EPICenter is a depository of all Data Management related documents and information. This metadata system includes datatypes, datastorages, application systems, business processes and data management rules. It is a browser-based application which is integrated in the intranet of all RWE Dea´s operating companies (OpCo) and the language is English.

- Where do I find (the storage location of) well checkshot data?
