UK operator’s seismic data library brought up to date

Overview

The Challenge

In early 2022 Moveout completed the audit and overhaul of the entire UK seismic data library of Neptune Energy, which contained over 700,00 data files.

Results

What we did

We conditioned, restructured, organised and transcribed over 70 Neptune surveys, from over 1,500 vintage tapes and USB drives. Utilising our proprietary MetasesisTM software, this task took just six weeks and generated 28 modern 3592 data cartridges over a period of four months. Redundant physical media was securely destroyed.

Moveout created a streamlined data library, organised and compliant with Neptune’s naming convention, enabling quick identification of and access to legacy information for use across its organisation

tick

Off-site storage costs were eliminated, due to the significant reduction in physical data volume

tick

Neptune Energy’s data library is now organised, accessible and future proofed, boosting productivity and eliminating the risk of data loss through degradation of old media

Moveout enabled Neptune Energy to easily fulfil its compliance and data reporting obligations to the NSTA

“Moveout has successfully rationalised Neptune’s UK Legacy & Vintage Seismic data according to our defined workflow and procedures and they have delivered us very neat and tidy results. They were very flexible and provided tailor made solutions as per our requirements with excellent communication throughout the project. We are very pleased with the high-quality work delivered by Moveout.”
