Moveout Data is a service provider to the UK Government’s North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA), formerly the UK’s Oil and Gas Authority, and is responsible for seismic data physical media handling activities associated with data flows into and out of the cloud-based National Data Repository (NDR).
Since the NDR became a cloud-based service in July 2021, Moveout manages all seismic data ingress to and egress on behalf of its users. This encompasses data conditioning, remastering as necessary and QC services to ensure that all data is fully compliant with NSTA requirements before it is accepted. This includes re-processing and merging survey navigation data and rigorous QC to ensure that the data is fit for use in modern processing and data analytics.
Through its service provision to the NDR, Moveout Data contributes directly in supporting the NSTA in achieving its regulatory goals:
To provide global access to unique and irreplaceable geophysical information for the traditional and net-zero energy sectors
To ensure all relevant retention and reporting obligations are discharged by data owners
To conserve legacy seismic exploration data and ensure its maximum value is extracted
