On designing multidimensional oil and gas business data structures for effective data warehousing and mining

Incomplete, improper and untimely information flow among operational units makes operations untidy and slow. Representing petroleum business data in multidimensional data structuring in a data warehousing environment is a solution for a manager's strategic planning, and operational management. Conceptual multidimensional-relational (MR) and EMR (extended multidimensional-relationships) data mapping approaches are proposed for key exploration industry data management. These conceptual models facilitate in developing future implementation data models and help an exploration data analyst, for better understanding of data integration and effective data mining.
