A Common Data Environment (CDE) in the Oil & Gas and construction industry refers to a collaborative platform that enables all stakeholders involved in a project to access and share project-related data in a centralized location.

It refers to a collaborative platform that enables all stakeholders involved in a project to access and share project-related data in a centralized location. This includes data related to plant design, engineering, construction, and maintenance.

A CDE can provide a single source of truth for all project-related information, including 3D models, drawings, specifications, calculations, and other documentation. This can help ensure that all stakeholders are working from the same set of data, minimizing errors and discrepancies.

This access depends on participant’s requirements or level of authorization, as well as their contractual obligations. Project information must be housed in a secure CDE that utilizes rigorous security protocols to ensure all stakeholders’ data is safeguarded from threats and enables project teams to collaborate and work more effectively.
