National Oil Corporation of Kenya

Overview• The National Oil Corporation of Kenya is a public limited company incorporated by the

Government of Kenya in April 1981 under the Companies Act, Cap 481 of the Laws ofKenya - with both upstream & downstream participation

Our Purpose• We provide stability in our markets by commercial importation, distribution, sales and

exportation of energy products. We are charged to be fiscally responsible and to earn a fairreturn on our commercial activities.

• We facilitate and participate in the exploration and exploitation of petroleum products onbehalf of the Kenyan people.

• We are Kenya’s agent for national energy data, petroleum laboratories, and the developmentof alternative fuels. We are a trusted advisor to Kenyan energy policymakers.


National Oil Cont’d…

Upstream Mandate The Corporation facilitates and participates in theexploration and expected future exploitation ofpetroleum products on behalf of the Kenyan peoplethrough the following activities:

• Oil and gas exploration (35 wells drilled to date)• Oil exploration data custodian• Coordinate and facilitate PSC negotiation• Monitor oil exploration activities in the country• Advise the Government in petroleum matters• Implement GOK policies in oil exploration• Geochemical Laboratories and Core Storage

Oil Discovery Gas Discovery


Data Legislation

• Kenya uses Production Sharing Contracts (PSC)

• The Kenya PSCs are based on Petroleum (Exploration & Production) Act, CAP 308

• PSC’s are negotiated by the National Fossils Fuels Advisory Committee (NAFFAC) and signed by the Minister for Energy

• By legislation, Operators submit a copy of data & information obtained during exploration to the Minister for Energy .

• Ministry of Energy has appointed National Oil is the custodian of all exploration data

Data Management

National Oil is the Government's agent for national energy data (oil and gas ) Repository

•The data sets dates back to 1950’s when exploration started in Kenya

•Before 2007, the data was mostly in paper format and/or CD/DVD’s, 9-track tapes, 3590 data Cartridges for recent data

•Data Management is mostly manual.


Data Management Cont’d…Legacy Data • Geological /Geochemical reports• Seismic reports• Seismic sections• Observer logs• Well report• Well logs• Gravity and electromagnetic data• Healthy, Safety and Environment data• Petroleum exploration contracts and

agreements• Administrative records

Data Management Cont’d…Data Management Challenges• Manual document Management

Inventory database could not be accurate

Audit trails

• Documents/Records are Very old >50 years Some are poor quality and faded Torn

• Document retrieval and dissemination was time consuming

• Limited and expensive office space available for document storage

• Lack of disaster recovery plan • Packaging data for petroleum resource

promotion is tedious• Petroleum resource investment decision

cycles are long

National Data Center (NDC) Initiatives

2006/07•Access Data Base Inventory (2006/07)

2007Developed NDC Master Plan

2009 -2012Phase-1 of NDC Master Plan commenced

•Data scanning• Document Management System implementation

PETRAD provided DM Support(Consultant, scanners, computers, 3592 tape drive)



Objectives Key business drivers for digital NDC project were:

• Secure valuable National petroleum resource assets

• Secure remote access for Kenyan exploration information

• Reduced decision-making cycle times

• Integrated workflows

• Accurate business reporting

• Elimination of information bottlenecks

• Better business decisions

• Facilitate the efficient promotion of petroleum resource in Kenya and attract international investment

Item Phase- I: Asset Management System (AMS)

Phase-II – Web Enabled Portal

Phase-III: Seismic/Well data Storage System

Phase-IV : Corporate Data storage System

Phase-V: Interpretation software

Deliverables •Digital DMS installed and configured•Accurate inventory of all digital and non-digital items•E-documents

•Web enabled system that is integrated with DMS•Training

•Seismic/well data centralizes storage system that allows storage and catalogue of seismic/well data information

•A storage system that can store all digital corporate data (well information,, seismic, corporate interpretation data)

•Integrated framework of interpretation software

Scope of work

•DMS installation •Data model definition•Data scanning•Attach scanned docs to objects•Documentation•Training

•Web Server /GIS system installation•GIS web enabling•Publish AMS via Internet

•Define headers in the database•Data checking & loading •Documentation•Training

•Data classes definition•Data Loading•Training•Documentation

•Data interpretation

Where We Are

From these

To digital online data access


Where We Are Cont’d…

Intranet Data Access


Where We Are Cont’d…Data Access - Reports


Where we are Cont’d…Data Access – Processed Seismic


Where we are Cont’d…Data Access – Advanced Database Development

•Moving from Access to Oracle

•Linking new database to other apps

•Testing usability and security

•Final QC and Intranet testing

•Web server testing


NDC – Summary of current Activities

Phase II Web Server

2012-2013• Web Server /GIS system procurement , installation, configuration.•Web enabled GIS system that is integrated with DMSPublish DMS via Internet.

Web ARCGIS system that is integrated with DMS

Phase III Seismic/Well Data

2013-14•Define headers in the data base•Seismic/well log Data, reformatting & loading •Documentation•Training

Seismic/well data storage system that allows storage and catalogue of seismic/well data information

Phase IVCorporate storage

2012-2014•Definition of the attributes that will be reported in the data base•Load data classes into corporate database•Training & Documentation

A storage system that can store all digital corporate data (well information,, seismic, corporate interpretation data)

Phase VData interpretation.

2011 onwards•Data interpretation•Currently relevant acquired commercial software include;- Oasis Montaj for Potential methods- IHS Kingdom suite for processed seismic - Magma for Raw seismic- GIS for database linking and viewing- Case 360 DMS

Integrated framework of interpretation softwarePetroleum prospects , reserves etc


Benefit expected at the end of the NDC project are

• Upgraded National Data Center into a digital exploration and production data repository

• A system where National petroleum data can be packaged and published for prospective investors worldwide

• Portal to control data publishing inside and outside Kenya.

• Processes and procedures to deliver data to operating companies and new investors.

• Professional resource personnel to run the National Data Center with the required skills.

Expected NDC Benefits


• Funding

• IT Infrastructure

•Technical capacity

•Database Model

•Data Standards – contents , formats, metadata

•Data Management Processes

•Incomplete Data

•Data Media and format changes making current media obsolete

Data Management Challenges


Lessons Learned• Include NDC in the Corporate Strategic Plan

• Top management support• Project funding

• ICT• Have Corporate goals/ICT business plan /Data Management Project aligned.• ICT is a must support data access, capture, movement and security requirements

• Technical Capacity• Project team – train and retrain• Consultancy services for guidance

• Data Management• Select a good database model• Data standards for each type of Data – best practice standards• Formats• Meta data • Out-source some of the jobs

• Data Management Processes and workflows• Data quality Control • Date receipt, storage and distribution processes• Disaster Recovery
