Presented by Shayne Chidlaw at an Untapped Energy event in Calgary, AB this session explored the critical role of data historians in operations. With nearly 30 years of experience in Canada’s petroleum industry, Shayne shared her transition from geology to digital systems and offered a practical deep dive into historian implementation. The talk covered real-world use cases in oil and gas, key pitfalls to avoid, and best practices for organizing, integrating, and contextualizing high-frequency sensor data. Attendees gained a clear understanding of how data historians can transform raw operational data into trusted, decision-ready intelligence.
