A National Data Center (NDC) is an e-Government solution that enables broader petroleum data access to entitled, multiple stake holders. National Data Centers attract investment while optimizing workflows and increase collaboration between regulatory bodies, other government entities, universities, the public, and global and local service companies. The solution typically operates within Ministries of Petroleum or similar agencies and is also referred to as a national data repository (NDR) or petroleum data bank.
