Studio Based Data Management Infrastructure Deployment  (2012)

The objective of this project was to provide the software infrastructure (database, applications, data transfer protocols, etc.). to standardize data usage across the Geology, Geophysics, Reservoir Modeling, and Completions Engineering groups within the Schlumberger Data and Consulting Services office in Denver, with the goal of integrating data storage and enhancing the group’s market responsiveness.  The pilot of this project focused on the Williston Basin project team.  I deployed the software infrastructure, provisioned data, generated and documented best practices, and trained the users.  The project resulted in a 12.5% decrease in nonproductive time, and an estimated $336,000 in man hours saved annually.  This was the first commercial Studio deployment in the world, and acted as the template for all workflow deployments in the following years.
