English term or phrase: in the bits and bytes
Evaluation of a reservoir is not a single investigation taken at a single time, but a chain of inquiries, building cumulatively throughout the life of the reservoir -- from discovery, to development, to life extension. Evaluation calls on equipment lowered into boreholes or applied at the earth's surface. It can be a new well in an exciting frontier, or a new search through old data to find oil undetected in the bits and bytes.

entre los detalles/en la maraña de información


Explanation:
Se refiere a que es tanta información o tan detallada (hay muchos bits y bytes en cualquier proceso informático) que se pierde el verdadero significado, el contenido real.
Imagínate que ves un proceso como el cambiar el color de una foto en photoshop como se hace realmente, con sus 0 y 1, millones de 0 y 1. No te enteras de nada.

Explanation:
I believe it is being used figuratively, something like in "all the nooks and crannies" or places previously overlooked.

Hope it helps
