Unlocking the Power of Unstructured Data with Diskover on the RiVA Platform
For Exploration & Production (E&P) companies, unstructured data is both an invaluable asset and an operational challenge. Today’s seismic, geological, and subsurface data lives everywhere – across on-premise systems, cloud repositories, aging archives, and project-specific platforms. Without a way to unify it, search it, and trust it, teams lose time, miss insights, and struggle to maintain compliance.
That’s why GeoComputing Group and Diskover Data have partnered to deliver a modern approach to unstructured data intelligence inside the GeoComputing RiVA platform – enabling organizations to finally gain global visibility, control, and real-time understanding of their geoscience data.
A Powerful Partnership: RiVA and Diskover
RiVA is well known for delivering high-performance private cloud environments purpose-built for geoscience workflows. By adding Diskover’s global metadata indexing, search, and workflow automation, RiVA evolves into a unified data intelligence platform.
With Diskover embedded into RiVA, organizations gain:
- A single, searchable view of all unstructured data – across on-prem, the GeoComputing Cloud, commercial cloud storage, and legacy archives.
- Lightning-fast discovery with rich metadata, enabling engineers, geologists, and data managers to find exactly what they need in seconds.
- Automated curation and cleanup to prepare datasets for AI, analytics, and compliance workflows.
The result is a streamlined environment where petabytes of unstructured files become accessible, meaningful, and ready for action.
Customer Spotlight: Finding the Unfindable – Fast
“Our client had divested a permit and needed to find all related data to handover and then remove from disk. They provided a list of prospects, seismic surveys and aliases which Diskover could use in a single search to very quickly scan the entire RiVA filesystem for matching references and provide file/folder listings and sizes. This task was completed in less than an hour. It would have taken weeks and needed extensive historical knowledge without Diskover.“

Where This Matters: Real Use Cases for E&P Teams
Across the energy sector, Diskover + RiVA accelerates mission-critical workflows that have traditionally depended on slow manual searches or tribal knowledge. Examples include:
- Preparing Datasets for Generative AI & Analytics
- Curate AI-ready corpuses by filtering for the most relevant seismic volumes, well files, geologic reports, or project tags. Automate movement to GPU-backed environments in RiVA.
- Divestiture & M&A Data Readiness
- Quickly locate all assets tied to a basin, block, permit, or survey – including hidden references or legacy folder structures. Export, package, and hand off clean datasets in hours instead of weeks.
- Seismic Data Quality, Cleanup & Reconciliation
- Identify duplicates, outdated SEG-Y versions, or abandoned project folders. Automatically tag data by survey, operator, or vintage to maintain clean, trusted libraries.
- Archive Modernization & Legacy Data Recovery
- Surfacing forgotten or inaccessible archives – tape migrations, old shares, orphaned user directories – becomes fast and predictable using Diskover’s metadata-driven indexing.
- Compliance, Governance & Data Lifecycle Management
- Track where regulated datasets live, how they’re being used, and when they should be archived or deleted. Automatically enforce retention policies across environments.
These use cases deliver immediate operational value, particularly for teams under pressure to move faster, reduce storage waste, and prepare for AI-driven exploration workflows.
Ready for the Future
GeoComputing’s latest generation of RiVA brings AI-ready GPUs, containerized deployments, and seamless integration with modern geoscience applications. Combined with Diskover’s scalable indexing, deep metadata enrichment, and automated workflows, E&P organizations gain a platform built for the next decade of digital subsurface innovation.
Together, GeoComputing Group and Diskover Data are setting a new standard for energy data management – empowering teams to unlock more value from their data, accelerate decision-making, and support sustainable growth.
