Problem

In many oil and gas companies, core data is scattered across spreadsheets, reports, lab files, and local databases. Different formats, naming conventions, and incomplete metadata make it difficult to find, compare, and trust core measurements. Engineers and geoscientists spend significant time preconditioning, cleaning, and sorting data before they can even start analysis. This fragmentation not only slows decision-making but also increases the risk of:

  • Missed intervals or measurements during field development planning.
  • Duplicated work in re-QC and re-digitizing the same data.
  • Underused core assets, where valuable information remains effectively “hidden” in archives.

CoreDB addresses this by providing a single, standardized, and accessible core database that removes data chaos and turns core information into a reliable, ready-to-use resource.+

Solution

CoreDB is a centralized, standardized core data management platform for the oil and gas industry. It consolidates scattered core data into a single, structured database with smart search, multi-filtering, visualization, and integration with industry-standard software. This transforms core data from a difficult-to-use archive into a living decision-support asset across exploration, development, and production.

Technology

Centralized core database

  • Consolidates legacy and new core data into a single, structured repository.
  • Applies consistent inventory structures, metadata, and naming standards across wells, fields, and regions.

Smart search & multi-filtering

  • Advanced search by well, depth, interval, measurement type, lab test, formation, date, etc.
  • Multi-filter capabilities to quickly narrow from large datasets to the most relevant core intervals and measurements.

Visualization & analytics-ready data

  • Built-in visualization of core intervals, measurements, and quality indicators.
  • Data is prepared and formatted to be easily exported to industry-standard software (e.g., petrophysical, geological, and reservoir modeling tools).

Web-based platform, deployed on customer servers

  • User-friendly web application accessible securely from anywhere within the organization.
  • Runs on customer infrastructure, aligning with data governance, security, and compliance requirements.

QC, standardization, and digitization workflows

  • Systematic QC of existing core data, resolving duplicates, gaps, and inconsistencies.
  • Digitization and restructuring of historical datasets to match the new CoreDB standards.
  • Ongoing workflows for continuous data quality improvement as new data is added.
