"This is a time of great change in the Oil and Gas Industry, and even before embracing real time systems we were struggling to extract meaningful insights from a large accumulation of data that was right under our noses. Based on his years of global experience Keith has developed a deep technical understanding of these issues, and in his book Harness Oil and Gas Big Data with Analytics he combines this understanding with his unique talent for communicating complex issues in a straight forward manner. Reading this book you will begin to see your data as the insight it was intended to be, and not the burden it has become."
