Seabed Survey Data Model
The Seabed Survey Data Model (SSDM) is an industry standard data model for how seabed survey data is stored and managed by oil and gas companies. The International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) developed and published this standard in October 2011. Many surveys have been successfully delivered in SSDM. The SSDM template is provided as an Esri ArcGIS geodatabase, but other implementations of the model are allowed. Significance Outputs of seabed surveys usually contain CAD files, log imagery, surface grids and many other documents. Such a mix of data types makes the task of integrating existing enterprise data very complicated. Data models that were used by survey contractors before SSDM include ArcGIS Pipeline Data Model (APDM) and Professional Petroleum Data Management (PPDM). It is very difficult for both of these data models to manage their internal data. To fix this specific problem, IOGP defined the SSDM to better manage the data. SSDM provides a complete surve ...

Industry Standard Data Model
An industry standard data model, or simply standard data model, is a data model that is widely used in a particular industry. The use of standard data models makes the exchange of information easier and faster because it allows heterogeneous organizations to share an agreed vocabulary, semantics, format, and quality standard for data. Organizations may save time and expense by using pre-existing data models instead of developing them in-house, although the process of making data conform to external models can also be a hindrance. Standards are often defined by standards bodies or technology companies. Most models use the relational model of database management, but some use the hierarchical model, especially those used in manufacturing or those mandated by governments, such as models specified by DIN codes in Germany. Applications Effective standard models have developed in the banking, insurance, pharmaceutical and automotive industries. These models reflect stringent standar ...

International Association Of Oil & Gas Producers
The International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) is the petroleum industry's global forum in which members identify and share best practices to achieve improvements in health, safety, the environment, security, social responsibility, engineering and operations. The association was formed in London in 1974 to develop effective communications between the upstream industry and the network of international regulators. Originally called the ''E&P Forum'' (for oil and gas exploration and production), in 1999 the current name was adopted. Most of the world’s leading publicly traded, private and state-owned oil & gas companies, oil & gas associations and major upstream service companies are members. The IOGP claims its members produce 40% of the world’s oil and gas. Co-operation with other bodies IOGP also represent the interests of the upstream industry before international regulators and legislators in UN bodies such as the International Maritime Organization and the C ...
