 A comprehensive and practical data management strategy based on a data centric approach will be presented. The practicality of this strategy comes from its development through an extensive review and study of E&P organization business processes and data/work flow to identify major issues. Extensive analyses of the resulting dataflow with the identified issues lead to a proposed strategic solution where the data is the core of the solution. The solution marries both technology and solid business practices to ensure safeguarding of data and knowledge, archiving resultant data, delivering quality data fast to the users and improving communications between data producers and consumers.
