No More Silos: How to Turn Data into Decisions Across the Oil & Gas Enterprise

Oil & gas operations (but also other industries) generate massive volumes of data from a wide range of sources—SCADA systems, historians, IoT sensors, flow computers, ERP platforms, and more. Yet despite the abundance of data, many organizations still struggle with fragmented systems, siloed information, and limited insight. To unlock the full value of your data and support smarter, faster decisions, a common data framework is needed and is an approach we’ve seen users take with various means to implement it.

Success with that framework is about more than buying software, setting it up and connecting systems.

In this recording, the panel speakers explore what you will need to make a common data framework effective, scalable, and future-ready. Whether you're just starting out or are evolving and expanding existing architectures, you'll gain a clear understanding of what’s needed to enable long-term success.

Topics covered:

• Data Integration – How to ingest and unify data from diverse systems using open standards like OPC UA, MQTT, Sparkplug, SQL, and REST APIs.
• Contextualization – Turning raw data into structured, meaningful information organized around assets and operational models.
• Data Distribution – We’ll explore methods for securely routing contextualized data to analytics tools, enterprise systems, and cloud platforms—so it’s ready to drive action, insight, and business value.
• Scalability and Flexibility – Strategies for building solutions that grow from a single site to enterprise-wide deployment without vendor lock-in.
• Accessibility and Collaboration – Designing systems that empower engineers, analysts, executives, and partners with shared, trusted data.
• Governance and Security – Enforcing standards, maintaining data quality, and aligning with OT/IT cybersecurity best practices.
• Analytics-Readiness – Preparing your data for use in dashboards, BI platforms, AI/ML models, and other insight-driven tools.

Avoid letting siloed data slow you down or increase your risk. Attend our expert panel discussion to learn what works, what to avoid, and how to take practical next steps toward building a solution that delivers agility, clarity, and business value across your entire operation.
