Data Cleansing

What Is Automated Data Cleansing and Why Is It Important?

The business world is constantly evolving and this is easy to see when you compare now to ten years ago. There have been some massive changes over this period and the amount of data companies collect now is certainly one. Large datasets are the norm for a lot of organisations, and gaining strategic insights from them is important. To enable this to happen, many businesses will engage in data cleansing.

Accessing Hidden Content

Is your content hidden away in silos?

If like many companies, your content is spread across multiple repositories, it can be a challenge to find something.  You may struggle with the correct words / standards, or you may have to conduct multiple searches in different systems to be sure you’ve got everything you need.  Conversely if you are an author, where should you put your magnum opus? #InformationManagement

Well Log Taxonomies

Well Log additions to the Flare Taxonomy

Since its inception over 18 years ago Flare’s Taxonomies have described a rich set of well-log tools or services and their characteristics as a set of well-log Product Types. These have been kept up to date as the service companies launch new products.

Recently an extensive (approx 60,000) curve dictionary has also been added to facilitate the automatic recognition and classification of well logs by Product Type.

Call us to discuss how you could benefit from Flare’s Taxonomies.

Improving your Information Management with Intelligent Search

There are many aspects to consider when improving your corporate information management systems.

Should you buy or build your taxonomy

Would you find it difficult to create your company’s Taxonomy?

Taxonomies can add value to your information and will inevitably make things easier to find, retrieve and manage. However, creating your own taxonomy can be difficult, time consuming and may not always provide what your organisation needs.

When investigating the creation of your own taxonomy, you need to look at factors such as the build cost, maintenance costs, complexity, scalability, interoperability and the overall end result, the total cost of ownership and how it fits with your objectives.

Improve search with automatic classification augmented by rich taxonomies

How can inheritance help you find information?

For over twenty years, Flare has been helping clients improve their search experience with a single search over multiple technical repositories.

One of the key concepts that helps support improved search is the ability for information to inherit context depending on where it is being stored, or where in a structure it has been placed.  This reduces the burden on users to add tags to enable future information discovery.

The Flare IM tools makes it possible to define inherited tags based on the source of the information, or inherit tags based on the file structure or process being run, e.g., a SharePoint site might drive confidentiality settings, the position in a file hierarchy might define the country the content is about or the user community that the content is relevant to.

Combine the idea of inheriting tags with a semantic search and taxonomies to really add power to your search.

Do you wish you could find your hardcopy data?

Do you wish you could find your hardcopy data?

If you have spent more than a few years working in the oil and energy sector, you will know that with each cyclical dip in the price of oil comes a spate of corporate acquisitions, mergers and takeovers.

Combine this with the scores of license rounds and farm-in opportunities in which your company may have participated over the decades, and its little wonder that your legacy data stores can become difficult to navigate.

This is particularly true for hardcopy data. Almost all majors and supermajors have reams of paper wellfiles, seismic sections and basemaps that they have acquired over the years, often accessible only as library listings.

Flare Solutions specialize in the surfacing of lost data. Supported by the very latest in cognitive search technology, our career data managers are on hand to find, organize, spatialize and digitize your legacy well and seismic data, no matter how big the challenge.

If you would like to know exactly what data your company has access to, give us a call.
