INT and OSDU Collaboration
INT has been working with the Open Subsurface Data Universe™ (OSDU) consortium since the beginning of the OSDU forum in 2019. OSDU is a standard data platform for the oil and gas industry which will reduce silos and put data at the center of the subsurface community. INT made IVAAP available as part of the Demo release of the OSDU platform.
IVAAP: The Premier HTML5 Data Visualization Platform for OSDU
At INT, we worked closely with the OpenSDU team to assist with validating the platform and creating a robust framework.
- Developers can deliver cloud-based digital solutions quicker than ever.
- Using the powerful OSDU search and delivery API, IVAAP allows users to search, find, display, and analyze data on the fly, including log, trajectories, tops, seismic, horizon, and fault data.
- Creating a common environment hosted in the cloud enables oil and gas companies to efficiently access massive amounts of data, reduce data silos, collaborate remotely, implement machine learning (ML), and lower the cost of operations.
Search and interact with different data types.
Access your data in the cloud from anywhere.
Visualize data aggregated from various data sources in one place.
With IVAAP on OSDU R2, you can:
- Combine data on the fly from wells, seismic, and many other sources.
- Use a microservices architecture, IVAAP supports industry data standards, including OSDU, PPDM, WITSML, and several commercial databases.
- Enable user co-visualization.
- Combine data types like real-time, historical, 2D/3D seismic, reservoir, and more in your web browser with IVAAP’s one-of-a-kind dashboard capabilities.

What Is OSDU?
The OSDU Forum was created with the objective of enabling new cloud-native data-driven applications with seamless access to the full range of subsurface and wells data as well as supporting existing applications and data frameworks.
Separating data from applications is the core principle of the OSDU solution. The plan is to achieve this by developing a common data platform with standard public APIs and to involve global cloud hosting vendors to build working implementations that will:
- Allow companies to focus on the truly differentiating part of business activities
- Reduce the resource and cost burden of independently designing and validating a subsurface data platform
- Influence and accelerate key reference components that will be the foundation of the upstream digital transformation.
The OSDU data platform will:
- Enable secure, reliable, global, and performant access to all subsurface and wells data
- Reduce current data silos to enable transformational workflows
- Accelerate the deployment of emerging digital solutions for better decision-making
- Create an open, standards-based ecosystem that drives innovation

An Industry Solution
The OSDU Forum will:
- Publish a Reference Architecture: a cloud-native subsurface and wells data platform reference architecture with initial implementations by Microsoft® Azure, Amazon Web Services® and Google® GCP, with others expected.
- Define Application Standards to ensure applications (microservices), developed by various parties, can run on the same OSDU data platform
- Leverage Industry Data Standards for frictionless integration and data access
Business Impact
- Reducing data silos: subsurface and wells data integrated and accessible in one data platform
- Workflows in the cloud: user workflows seamlessly executed across the OSDU data platform, taking advantage of powerful cloud-native solutions
- Access to all metadata: users will have access to powerful search capabilities
- Competition and cooperation: software vendors, oil companies, academia, and open community projects can develop software on the OSDU data platform
Scope
Current Scope
- Coverage: any organization with a need to store, manage or analyze subsurface and wells data
- Portfolios: subsurface including exploration, development, and wells
- Support for Data Driven Applications: All data in one Data Platform will enable AI (such as Machine Learning) based applications to access this data
Current Problem Statement
- Data is linked to applications: we are not data-driven but applications-driven and, therefore, we will have silos
- Data is stored in silos: therefore, there is no lineage between data sources or from wells back to exploration
- Metadata is not stored with the data: metadata is information about the data
- Limited/no search capabilities: since we have no metadata, we have no real search capabilities
- Data set-up: not suitable for data-driven applications
OSDU Scope
- All public cloud-based: provides unlimited scalability
- All data for the data platform services loaded via the data ingestion services: extract metadata, data quality, etc.
- Well-defined (RestFUL) APIs defining the access to the data platform services
Applications: (micro) services-based - Information security: covering all elements with focus on data security
- In-country solution: for those countries where we are unable to move data out of the country and where there are no cloud services
- Support for legacy applications based on Microsoft® Windows or Linux® desktop
What Is the OSDU Value?
The OSDU data platform will:
- Revolutionize the industry’s ability to deliver new subsurface capabilities
- Create an open, standards-based ecosystem that drives innovation
- Accelerate the deployment of emerging digital solutions for better decision-making
- Reduce implementation and lifecycle costs
- Eliminate current data silos to enable transformational workflows
- Provide access to all metadata: users can access their data and applications wherever they are
- Create new opportunities for monetizing intellectual property:
- Moving to subscription models for applications or services sold by independent software and services providers
- Opportunity for multiple competitors to sell specialized algorithms or workflows that are easily integrated because of compliance to OSDU standards
