With a strong focus on managing the security of information provided by its members, OGUK sees digital transformation as a key part of delivering industry-leading products to its membership in the future.
Document tagging can be a laborious process, but it’s essential to ensuring information can be found quickly and efficiently. Automatic document tagging can help your business save time, money, and effort by taking the hard work out of the process.…
Farm-in opportunities and license rounds often result in large volumes of poorly organised information requiring analysis and interpretation within strictly limited timeframes. Without sufficient support, your subsurface team members may find themselves spending more time searching for information than interpreting it.
With Flare’s innovative suite of information management tools, we are on-hand to take the pressure off your support staff and geoscientists when in receipt of data room information. Our Graph-based technology and ML-driven document recognition systems allow us to process large volumes of data and information very quickly, delivering fully catalogued datasets and enriched, descriptive metadata, all accessible via a set of easy-to-use search tools.
If you would like to see a demo of our Sirus IM suite in action, feel free to give us a call.
Flare’s information management applications now have graph database technology as their engine.
Graph databases store information as nodes along with the relationships that connect them. Organisations have large volumes of technical information so the number of nodes can be enormous and the number of relationships can be orders of magnitude greater still.
But, once the graph is in place, the speed to return searches can be truly astonishing. And as the volume of information added to the graph increases, the speed remains the same.
A taxonomy is a hierarchical list used for classifying things, such as documents and other content and will ensure that they are easier to find and retrieve. Building a taxonomy will ensure that it fits your very specific needs, but it will take a great deal of time, skill, knowledge and budget, any of which could be in short supply. Buying an industry-specific taxonomy will give you immediate benefit and will remove the pain of creating one yourself. It will also be interoperable with other organisations that you may deal with.
Flare's approach allows you to embed a sophisticated, off-the-shelf taxonomy, and combine it with custom classes to meet any specific needs. Flare also offers a service to manage your taxonomies, to keep it up to date with industry and technology trends.
Flare's Folio provides a project view over multiple applications and multiple repositories. It enhances network drives, delivering hierarchical views, document counts and rapid search capabilities in one view.
One of the largest client datasets exceeds 300 million items. Folio returns search results in less than a second and presents the results on a customisable view.
Search through millions of items with ultra-quick response times
Search results can be highlighted within existing data structures
Both folders and files can be searched, displayed and interrogated.
Flare has helped many of its clients migrate millions of documents from on-premise electronic document management systems and file shares to SharePoint Online. Flare’s SharePoint adapter moves the content and adds the metadata you need without any impact on day-to-day operations. If you have a content migration challenge, get in touch to see if Flare can help.
Flare has extended its energy taxonomy to cover renewable energy sources like wind, solar and geothermal. This includes products and terms to support areas such as energy transition to net zero, CCUS, regulation and licencing, energy markets and economics, generation equipment, distributed generation and microgrids.
In common with the rest of the Flare taxonomy all terms have hierarchical and other inter-term relationships as well as rich synonyms and examples. This enables accurate and relevant searching across your own and external sources as well as supporting your information and data interpretation and analytics.

In Flare's early days we were fortunate enough to land a software deal with a large energy company. The deal was to provide our IM solutions to the entire company under a global license deal. But would the same solution work for smaller companies?due to reduced global demand. The downturn in the industry has led to energy companies reacting by cutting costs, reducing staff, shelving projects, and delaying exploration and development decisions. Because data and information drives everything we do in the industry, including business decisions at all levels, it is important companies continue to invest and look after their data and information assets. Information and data content should be a clear competitive differentiator for energy companies.
No matter how well thought-out your information management processes might be, or how comprehensive the functionality of your DMS applications — if the supporting metadata is incomplete, or overly generic, or simply inaccurate, your document search and retrieval results will…
