  • Systems and methods for assessing upstream oil and gas electronic data duplication
    Patent number: 10235080
    Abstract: Provided in some embodiments are systems and methods for assessing electronic data duplication. Embodiments include extracting first samples of electronic data files and applying a first hash function to the first samples to generate first hash digests. Determining first groupings of the electronic data files having a same file size and first hash digest. Extracting second samples the electronic data files of the first groupings and applying a second hash function to the second samples to generate second hash digests. Determining second groupings the electronic data files having a same file size, a same first hash digest and a same second hash digest. Applying a third hash function to the contents of the electronic data files of the second groupings to generate third hash digests. Determining duplicate electronic data files having a same file size and same first, second, and third hash digests.
