The prime upstream data conference held in Haugesund, Norway, is thriving with insights into AI/ML use, OSDU developments and some back-to-the-future ontological advocacy. AkerBP - AI 'most disruptive'. Cegal - Interoperability sans OSDU. NNTU in the backrooms of data science. SLB's AI-augmented workforce. The trusted OSDU ecosystem. Equinor - AI and data governance. Breaking down silos - good idea? Really? More on Equinor's OSDU seismics. Halliburton's OSDU journey. SLB, Halliburton clash on OSDU schema. OSDU - SOE or SOR? SLB Lumi and interoperability. DISKOS 30 years on. TotalEnergies and the data mesh. NNTU on the (OSDU) Mexican standoff. Equinor's central tag mapping library. Google Cortex for Energy (maybe!). PCA - a triple store for OSDU? Halliburton - OSDU a 'relatively small' part of the picture. Kadme tests the OSDU promise. Petrobras discovers ResqML. Shell on OSDU and blockchain! Equinor and the Digital Asset. OSDU Rosetta 2.0 initiative. I don't know/don't care geomatics.
