Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Data Sharing Agreement

How exactly does sharing my data benefit my operations? +
When you share production data, our AI models learn the specific patterns of your fields. This leads to more accurate predictions for your wells, customized recommendations for your operations, and early access to the most advanced AI tools. Essentially, you're training a specialized AI assistant that understands your specific petroleum operations better than any generic model could.
Can my data be identified after anonymization? +
We use advanced anonymization techniques that remove all identifying information while preserving the statistical patterns needed for AI training. Field names, company identifiers, and geographic specifics are replaced with anonymous codes. Our security protocols ensure that even our engineers cannot reverse-engineer the anonymization to identify specific companies.
What happens if I want to withdraw my data? +
You can request data deletion at any time. Upon request, we will: 1. Remove your raw data from our active systems 2. Delete associated processed data 3. Exclude your data from future model training 4. Provide confirmation of deletion However, note that AI models already trained on your data cannot be "un-trained" without affecting all users.
How do you ensure data stays within your platform? +
We implement multiple security layers: 1. Network Isolation: Our data processing systems are completely isolated from external networks 2. No Export Functionality: The platform has no feature to export raw training data 3. Continuous Monitoring: Real-time monitoring for any unauthorized access attempts 4. Employee Controls: Strict access controls with comprehensive audit logging 5. Technical Safeguards: Encryption, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems
What types of data are most valuable for AI training? +
The most valuable data includes: • Production rates over time • Pressure and temperature measurements • Well completion and workover data • Geological formation characteristics • Drilling parameters and performance metrics • Equipment maintenance records • Environmental conditions and measurements The more comprehensive and historical your data, the better our AI can learn patterns specific to your operations.
How long does it take to see benefits from shared data? +
Benefits typically become noticeable within 1-3 months: • Immediate: Your data is incorporated into our training pipeline • 1-4 weeks: Initial model improvements are validated • 1-3 months: Enhanced models are deployed to the platform • 3-6 months: Significant accuracy improvements for your specific fields • Ongoing: Continuous refinement as more data is collected
