Technologies

• Internet standards driven / Hardware software
  platform independent
• XML (eXtensible Markup Language) xsd, (XML
  schema definition)

History

• 1980s WITS real-time binary formats
• 1990s as Internet and related technologies
  became available, new solutions emerged but
  separately
• Statoil developed Drilling Automation Real Time
  (DART)
• DART evolved into the multi-company WITSML effort

Benefits

• Improved plug and play for moving data between
  systems
• Operators reduce cost, improve vendor
  competitiveness
• Contractors reduce need to support different
  systems for different operators
• (Near) real-time, sequential data, but also
  contextual data

Some lessons learned / best practices

• The Right Initial Players - clear focus
• BP Statoil
• Baker, Halliburton, Schlumberger, NPSi
• Strong Commitment
• Initial funding by oil companies
• Oil service companies remain engaged after
  initial delivery
• Effective Processes
• Practical, incremental approach
• Clear focus on target outcomes - through
  implementation
• Frequent communications - steering technical
  teams
• Choice of Technologies
• XML, SOAP
• Comprehensive Output and Documentation
• XML Schemas Server API sample implementation
• Openness / Evolution
• Public seminars and presentations
• Transfer to POSC for commercially neutral
  custody, publication, promotion and evolution

Smart Systems

• From self-guiding missiles to self-replenishing
  fridges, the basic approach of all smart
  technology is measure-model-control

• measure system properties
• model actual vs. desired behaviour
• derive required correction parameters (adaptive
  control)
• implement control

Comments from Operators

• Better decisions faster
• 250 million USD / year cost savings
• Its not about the technology
• Integrate facilities, wells, subsurface
• Find right level of smartness for each asset

• POSC xField Approaches
• Understanding / problem identification
• - pursue problems with clear (shared) business
  purposes
• Adopt / adapt WITSML
• new Data Types to focus on Production Operations
• production volumes, production tests,
  temperature, pressures
• Focus Architectures Data
• Develop standards via Pilot Projects
• Players oil service regulators
• Incremental, rapid results
• Catalogues of related work / relevant standards

• An oil company perspective on Standards
• Standards save money!
• uniform hardware, applications, data save 100
  Million/year
• Standards lead to better science, which increases
  value
• Use standards to address interface issues
• Its better to get common than to be best
• Industry standards provide cost effective bridge
  to the digital oil field
