LMKR has to its credit the establishment and maintenance of a national E&P data repository for the Government of Pakistan, which is one of the best facilities in Asia. A state-of-the-art Data Management and Archival Center was established. The main scope of the project revolved around retrieving, organizing, transcribing, data re-mastering, paper to digital conversions, data managing, archiving, marketing and selling exploration and production geological & geophysical Data. Scattered data at different locations was centrally made available to be accessed by various international and local organizations.

Under this project, information systems were developed to help DGPC retrieve digital and hardcopy data from various sources. Over 200,000 tapes in various formats were transcribed; 20 million seismic traces and about 13 million curve feet of Well Log Data were digitized; and around 5 million hardcopy pages were digitally scanned. Additionally, a process was set up for accessing technical data quickly and economically.

The project helped the Ministry to tremendously improve the response time for information and data requests from new exploration companies. Furthermore, processes were also developed and implemented to ensure that the operating companies adopt and adhere to industry standard practices, formats and technologies in E&P operations.
