Background Functions & Purpose Dataflow and dependency Legislation towards Technical Data & Information Data Types, Standards & Value Technology Infrastructure Access to Data & Entitlement Cost of Data Projects Challenges & Successes
1965 - Exploration for Oil & Gas started in Karoo 1970 – 1994 – Exploration Offshore by Soekor 1996 – Petroleum Agency Established (PLU) All Exploration data transferred to Agency MPRD Act (28 of 2002) Designated Agency responsible for:
◦ PROMOTION of Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ◦ REGULATION: receive, process applications, negotiate
contracts & monitoring of work programs ◦ TECHNICAL DATA MANAGEMENT:(NDR)- receive,
maintain, archive, store, add value and provide access to data
◦ Receipt & load of new data into the data bases ◦ Physical Storage and archive of Technical Data◦ Maintenance of data bases, systems and
software ◦ Keep data available through scanning,
transcription and digitising to improve access◦ Inform clients on availability of data - Catalogues◦ Make data available to clients according to their
requirements – data reproduction services◦ Ownership, entitlement and security on data
◦ Library subscription service & G&G textbooks and magazines
◦ Tape copy and transcription services◦ Document & records management services
(NARS Act) ◦ Seismic data management services to Namcor◦ Core lay-out, sampling and viewing services

FOKUS: To Improve accessibility of data Transcription of Seismic Data into industry
standard format Scanning of documents, reports and diagrams Digitizing and conversion of seismic sections
& geophysical logs Onshore data gathering EDRMS – Online availability of data and
records Spatial Data Management & GIS
MAP BASED ACCESS TO DATA PROJECT
Sudden interest in onshore areas and data not being accessed since 1970.
Requests for offshore data Data Quality and Standards Implementation of EDRMS – Resistance to
change Online availability of data – huge volumes
of data to be loaded and indexed.
Good index and catalogue system Availability of digital data – digitised and
transcribed Speedy delivery of quality data
Summary...
•A Well organised database and online A Well organised database and online availability of digital data are key to availability of digital data are key to success in promotion of exploration success in promotion of exploration opportunities.opportunities.
• Good track-record on supply of quality Good track-record on supply of quality datadata
• Use of EDRMS application are essential Use of EDRMS application are essential to good record keeping on exploration to good record keeping on exploration activitiesactivities
