Eni and AWS to boost efficiency of geoscience workflows
Eni said on Tuesday it is working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to integrate its proprietary data platform XWARE with the cloud native Open Subsurface Data Universe (OSDUTM) on AWS.
The technology will enable faster data exchange between external ecosystems, deployment of innovative Seismic Cloud applications, and fostering new digital workflows and insights, the company said in a statement.
“Eni works to deepen geoscience knowledge, which allows the company to drive further innovation in the industry,” Luca Bertelli, Deputy Chief Operating Officer Natural Resources at Eni, said in a statement.
“The joint exploitation of XWARE, and the OSDU Data Platform on AWS, will allow Eni to be more efficient and less resource intensive in delivering projects by creating easy and fast interoperability between applications in company workflows, and freeing data to be used with innovative digital services,” he added.
Eni and AWS are part of the Open Group OSDUTM Forum, an energy industry collaboration building an open-source technology to remove data silos and allow frictionless flow of data between applications and workflows.
The Italian energy major has always driven technological innovation by targeting strategic objectives to ensure long-term competitiveness and sustainable growth in all business sectors.
Working with AWS, Eni has demonstrated that the cloud native OSDU Data Platform on AWS can be used to enhance application interoperability, which enables accelerated data exchange and enhanced security, the company said.
The standards-based approach will help unlock higher order technologies on the cloud and enables integration with Eni’s proprietary XWARE georeferenced subsurface data platform, Eni said.
AWS on the other hand has integrated the OSDUTM Data Platform with XWARE, which Eni uses for data management and to implement its data governance framework. The work proves that Eni can combine the best of its proprietary solutions while taking full advantage of the innovation and security best practices provided by AWS, the companies said.
