METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING INFORMATION

A method for managing information associated with an oilfield operation of an oilfield, the oilfield having a subterranean formation with geological structures and reservoirs therein. The method includes specifying a first site of interest, where a first data source includes data stored at the first site of interest, designating a first abstract role for the first data source, where the first abstract role corresponds to one of a plurality of information lifecycle roles, designating a first abstract stream for the first data source, where the first abstract stream corresponds to one of a plurality of categories of information, and generating a first output associated with the first data source, where the first output includes the first site of interest, the first abstract role, and the first abstract stream. The method further includes presenting the first output, where the oilfield operation is adjusted based on the first output.
