September 2022

Data, insight, knowledge, and information are just as much a part of the energy industry as steel, cable, cranes and engineers. Reliable data is the cornerstone of development, and without good info, investors cannot sanction projects. Without money, we get no power. Prices rise, and we face immense challenges. But good data must be displayed in a way that is accessible. Gone are the days of bible-like books, packed with seemingly endless technical industry language. Today, the dissemination of knowledge in a concise, visually appealing, and digestible fashion is vital.

RBN Energy understands this and, from its office in Houston, delivers a daily blog into the mailbox of tens of thousands of industry professionals, helping them to understand the happenings in the industry, giving the ability to make better decisions.

Similarly, at Core Specialist Services in Aberdeen, using VR and other modern technologies, the company is making core analysis information much easier to view and understand, allowing clients from multiple sectors to make informed choices about production, and allowing the company itself to expand and diversify. 

Merlin ERD is also pioneering education for drilling engineers, helping to understand more about the challenges of complex wells when producing oil and gas that still powers so much of our lives. Without this effective knowledge transfer, challenging but highly lucrative assets will forever go un- or under-developed – unacceptable in times of energy insecurity. 

Our focus this month is on those who take data and information seriously, and the success they have achieved by using and distributing intelligence in the best way possible.
