With the advent of digitalization initiatives and cloud storage, there may be a tendency to forget the “other side”— cases in which specific data or assets still have no digital equivalents. For oil and gas operations in particular, access to physical assets such as paper documents, tapes, or even core samples, is important for gaining a complete view of the subsurface in a given area of interest. In the energy industry context, dark data tends to refer to unstructured or untapped data that organizations generate and collect during their operations but do not use for analysis, decision-making ..read more
