Build a Trusted, Enterprise View of your Subsurface Data

Energy companies rely on accurate, consistent subsurface information to support exploration, development, reporting, and commercial decisions. But when wells, seismic surveys, and spatial data sit in separate systems, teams can struggle with inconsistent versions, missing context, and duplicated effort

dbMap gives organisations a PPDM-compliant, enterprise-grade master data environment that unifies well, seismic, and spatial datasets into a single, governed source of truth. With clear lineage, audit history, and configurable business rules, your teams can work confidently from the same trusted dataset across exploration, development, and offshore wind workflows.

"We had years of inconsistent reference data, and dbMap helped us get that under control."

Benefits of dbMap

dbMap brings all your subsurface data together into a single, trusted enterprise view. Integration with PRO, Petrel, OSDU Data Platform, PPDM, Halliburton/SLB Landmark, PaleoScan, Kingdom, and other industry applications supports efficient workflows and improves the quality and reliability of the data used across teams.

Eliminate costly, unnecessary surveys

Centralise historical seismic and well data so your team doesn’t waste time or money reacquiring information you already own.

Simplify decision-making.

A built-in audit history tracks every change so you know exactly which version of the data you’re using for technical and commercial decisions.

Align with PPDM.

Minimise errors and costs in data maintenance by ensuring your subsurface data assets are organised using industry standards set forth by PPDM.

Reduce data storage and IT costs.

Support cloud or on-premise deployments and control expenses with a system that’s supported across modern infrastructure environments.

Leading energy companies rely on our enterprise data management platform to:

Manage, Track and Govern Enterprise Data

A corporate data governance strategy is a competitive advantage. With dbMap, you can ensure your data meets the needs of your organisation now and for years to come.

Enterprise Data Management

Manage multiple versions of data and selectively promote elements to the master depending on data type and business context. You can:

  • Sync subsurface and spatial data with third-party data stores using Petrosys Exchange tools or custom-built database functions.
  • Catalog unstructured data, including physical assets, to make it accessible and viewable in a digital format with Records Management.
  • Track data changes with audit history tables and compare key technical attributes, highlight mismatches in depth, and flag them for further review.

Consolidate Data Across Your Company

<>Integrate data from a broad range of geoscience applications so teams across your business work from consistent, governed information. With dbMap, you can:

  • Pull well headers, directional surveys, logs, tops, cores, and monthly production into a single database.
  • Add 2D and 3D spatial data to create a comprehensive subsurface index.
  • Browse and edit data on interactive maps and publish it to mapping software applications.

Integrate Business Processes

Break down silos between geoscientists, data managers, and financial teams with a single source of truth. dbMap makes it easy to:

  • Track license obligations and convert submissions to regulator-ready formats.
  • Manage data from acquisitions and divestitures while maintaining quality checks and viewing permissions.
  • Adapt to evolving standards, assuring your data integrates seamlessly with your applications and supports your workflows.

Improve Data Quality and Governance

<>Inconsistencies in data acquired over decades can lead to poor analysis and missed targets. Improve data integrity with dbMap. You can:

  • Identify discrepancies quickly by comparing data sets across key business-critical attributes before your team uses them in models.
  • Manage security and access control, assigning roles and permissions by user group or project.
  • Govern data across its lifecycle, from acquisition to archiving, to manage storage costs.

"Now that we have a single place for master data, there’s far less confusion across teams."

Where dbMap Fits Into Your Business Workflows

dbMap underpins the foundational reference data that every subsurface workflow depends on. It provides a governed, centralised master database that ensures your wells, surveys, leases, seismic indexes, and key business attributes remain consistent across teams, systems, and projects.
1

Data Acquisition & Loading

Ingest and validate new well, seismic, and spatial reference data from surveys, partners, or acquisitions, ensuring it enters your environment clean, structured, and aligned with PPDM standards.
2

Enterprise Data Management & Governance

Maintain a single source of truth for wells, surveys, leases, and associated metadata. dbMap provides version control, audit history, quality checks, and governed workflows so teams always work from consistent, trusted information.
3

Data Distribution to Applications & Teams

Deliver validated reference data to interpretation, mapping, and GIS systems such as Petrel, PRO, and corporate databases, keeping projects synchronised, reducing duplication, and supporting organisation-wide decision-making.

Who Uses dbMap?

Our subsurface data management platform is designed for the people who protect and utilise subsurface data, including:

  • Data managers and IT teams – Streamline data retention policies, enforce governance, and integrate disparate data sources without custom coding. dbMap’s open architecture and expert support help you build a robust data‑management programme.

  • Geophysicists and geoscientists – Access trusted, validated reference data for wells, seismic, and spatial assets from a single corporate source. dbMap ensures the data they work with is consistent, governed, and aligned across teams and applications.

  • Geophysicists and geoscientists – Access trusted, validated reference data for wells, seismic, and spatial assets from a single corporate source. dbMap ensures the data they work with is consistent, governed, and aligned across teams and applications.

  • Business analysts and regulatory leaders – Maintain transparency and compliance by granting the right level of access to key stakeholders. dbMap helps you prepare submissions for regulatory compliance and respond quickly to audit requests.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About dbMap

How does dbMap support the PPDM data model?

dbMap implements a gold‑compliant PPDM schema to ensure industry‑standard structures for wells, surveys, seismic data, and leases, with configurable extensions to support your business. dbMap also maps legacy data to PPDM and links structured records with related unstructured documents and physical media.

How does dbMap ensure data is consistent and trustworthy?

dbMap enforces data quality through governance processes, version control, and audit history tables. Users can compare well and seismic attributes to identify discrepancies before promoting data to the corporate master repository. Permissions and review controls ensure that updates are validated before they are approved.

What types of data can dbMap manage?

dbMap supports wells, directional surveys, logs, tops, cores, production data, 2D and 3D seismic, and associated leases, permits, basins, and fields. It also catalogues unstructured digital and physical data, such as log scans, seismic tapes, reports, and images, through the dbMap Records Management module.

Is dbMap available on the cloud or on‑premises?

Yes. dbMap supports both on-premises and cloud deployments, allowing organisations to choose the environment that best fits their IT, security, and governance needs.

How does dbMap integrate with other geoscience tools?

dbMap connects with applications such as Petrosys PRO, Petrel, Landmark, PaleoScan, and Kingdom through supported interfaces and Petrosys Exchange. This enables data to move between systems while preserving governance, version control, and consistency. dbMap also supports integration with GIS platforms such as ArcSDE
