Session: Why quality data holds the key to solving our energy crisis
We’re living in the golden age of what’s been coined as the measurement economy. But when it comes to climate change, there’s a significant lack of data. This lack of real-time data has far-rippling repercussions, and we cannot measure or eliminate environmental impact without high-fidelity data that helps operators and leaders make actual informed decisions. Simply put: you can’t improve upon what you can’t measure. Data is king, and we can use it to hold companies and governments accountable. Anna can unwrap the complicated challenges of data in the energy sector, talk about the new technologies emerging to solve these issues, and how she is continuing to drive change in the oil and gas industry.
