News IMDEX joins Open Subsurface Data Universe to support long-term industry evolution

OSDU is an international forum focused on enabling the Energy industry to develop transformational technology to support the world’s changing energy needs.

Historically serving the oil and gas industry, the forum is now gaining traction in minerals and mining.With a strong commitment to innovation, the Open Group OSDU Forum delivers an open source, standards-based platform for the energy industry. OSDU aims to stimulate new ideas and accelerate deployment, helping innovative solutions to launch quickly to meet the rapidly changing environment.

Chris Higgins, Product Strategy Manager – Digital, is thrilled about the opportunities to collaborate with the wider industry on the definition of data standards for downhole sensors through to core farm applications. “We believe we play an essential role in shaping the discussion on how new solutions are developed to ensure data quality.

“Ultimately we want to enable and lead the industry change when it comes to managing data in minerals and resources."

IMDEX has seen the pressures to reduce GHG whilst accelerating the responsible extraction of critical minerals required for the energy transition. This challenge is not going to be solved in silos which is why we have joined OSDU, to partner with the industry in and support agile, rapid development of software solutions.
