Energy IT & Data Management Experts Convene for First Ever Digital Symposium

LONDON, June 23, 2011 -

For the first time, 15 global data, knowledge and information
management experts from the world’s most pioneering energy
companies will unite for a unique online symposium tasked with the
objective of identifying and solving the major issues facing IT and
data infrastructure in the energy industry.

Speaking about the event, Tim Haïdar, Editor in Chief of Oil and
Gas IQ said: “As of 2011, the amount of data mankind is able to
store is at least 295 exabytes of information. That’s 315 times the
number of grains of sand in the world. And how much of that
information is flowing through the global oil and gas sector?
 In fifty years, humanity has gone from paper and punch cards
to the real-time expanses of the digital oilfield - where will we
be going next?”

The event will examine the key issues facing the industry including
the challenge ofdata management programmes spanning multiple
countries, design and operation of data and information management
systems incorporating document management and data-information and
measures to implement new data standardisation protocol.

Gareth Pearce, Director of Energy IQ said of the event: “Efficient
and secure management of data and information has never been more
important and process critical. The business case is
self-evident: in the 21st century oil and gas world, digital asset
integrity is as important as that of physical assets.”  

The panel includes George Rorie (SHELL EUROPE), Tore Hoff
(STATOIL), Jim  Crompton (CHEVRON) and representatives from
Saudi Aramco, Energistics, PIDX, IEF, KPC and Total and are
scheduled to meet July 18^th to August 1^st
