Episode notes
Field Data Is The Foundation For AI
- Clean, organized field data is the foundation for any AI, reporting, or operational improvement in energy companies.
- Kate Stevenson draws on Accenture and Chesapeake experience to warn that without solid field data you cannot successfully deploy higher-order analytics or machine automation.
Building A Field App At Chesapeake Shaped Her Approach
- Kate started at Accenture then built a field data capture app at Chesapeake that is still in use today, which shaped her view of operations-first tech.
- She learned the business by doing ride-alongs, visiting field offices and building practical field solutions at Chesapeake.
Validate Entire Datasets During M&A Conversions
- Do run full-data conversion rules during M&A instead of sampling; use automated rules to validate entire datasets before loading.
- Novus uses prebuilt rules and a data pipe to QC incoming assets so destination systems receive data that passes validations.
