Standards
The standards that CDA adopts or in some cases develops are governed by an ad hoc Standards Sub-Committee which is co-chaired by CDA's Well Data Manager and the Seismic Data Manager. The work of the Standards Sub-committee is subject to approval by the CDA Council.
The Standards Sub-committee takes account of de facto industry standards, prescribed regulatory standards and recognised good practice.
