Abstract: Google your way to maximimum geoscientific value
Although there is an exponential increase in data collection within oil and gas companies, access to the data for meaningful subsurface interpretation is constrained by the limited toolkits many geoscientists have at their disposal. We propose some methodologies and open-source software tools that can provide more efficient access to structured and unstructured data, thereby enabling geoscientists to make full use of this valuable resource.
