17. COMPETENCY BENCHMARKING FOR OIL AND GAS
DATA MANAGERS
Common Data Access Limited (CDA), the UK oil and gas industry’s shared data
management service, is introducing an industry first Competency Management
System (CMS) for data managers. This follows a pilot earlier in the year of the online
competency profiling system for data managers, which will help to develop benchmarks
for recruiting to such roles and will assist in certifying data managers with a view to
defining a global industry professional standard. Oil & Gas UK member company
Lexonis Limited will manage the CMS, which will be available globally and marks an
important milestone on the road to professionalise the role of petroleum data managers.
