Interview with Innes Auchterlonie, Oil and Gas Consultant at IMRADD.

You’ve just launched a product on the OGTC stand, can you tell us more about that?

Certainly. The OGTC backed us in the development of our data analytics software which we call AIDA which stands for Advanced Inspection Data Analytics. We had fantastic support from OGTC, they gave us a lot of help as well as funding with the development of the project, they have been pretty good at introducing us to potential clients, it has been very helpful. The product itself it addresses the issue of lack of confidence in legacy data, essentially it takes decades of inspection data that is sat on the shelf unused and turns it into something useful. We’ve gone from a point where rather than just reporting by exception, we can take years of data where no insight was gained from before previously and now we immediately gain useful insight from it, it’s things that will really move the needle, allow you to make much better business decisions. You go from looking at all this data and not knowing what to do with it, to being able to ask it what’s going to fail next and it will take you straight there, it will take you directly to that. It has been quite a journey, it’s been very successful.

Have you had a lot of interesting conversations at the event so far?

Yes. Quite a lot of them have been competition looking to see what we’ve been doing but, yes we’ve had a few interests from clients as well. Some of our existing clients have been coming to have a chat with us to see what else we’ve been doing and what else we’ve been developing. Its been good. Its been really quite useful.
