The Challenge of Standardization
• Strategic Perspective– Strategic Standardization Management
• Standards Collaboration– Focus on highest value standards that don’t impact competition
• Industry Commitment– Internal and external commitment to implementation
• Value Delivery– Measuring business value of implementation vs. the cost of not
making standardization a strategic goal
Importance of Open Data Exchange Standards
• Optimising highly instrumented assets through technology
• Efficiently using real-time streaming data from multiple sources
• Open data exchange standards should be:– Freely available– Universally applicable– Plug-and-play

Integrated Information Platform
Integrated Information Platform - Why
Our Flagship Standards…
Basic WITSML and PRODML
• Drilling operations (WITSML) and Production operations/optimization (PRODML) need standard frameworks to enable high-quality data, standard data exchanges, and “plug and play” software choices, including:
– A structure of strongly typed names and kinds– Application commands for asynchronous
and “on demand” operation– Handling of data “quality” including:
• Measured, derived, reallocated etc.• Good etc.• Time and ranges of time, from past thru forecast
• Architecture Consists of– Web Services and Methods Specs – How applications communicate to
accomplish use case actions; requests and responses– Data Object Specs - XML schemas; the basis of request data queries and
response data structures
Deep resistivity: RES_DEPDensity: DENNeutron porosity: NEUSonic: AC_COMPGamma Ray: GR
PWLS Standardized Curve Mnemonics
Types of WITSML/PRODML Applications
• Surveillance and Monitoring– Continuous comparison of actual to predicted measurements; out of range
condition invokes analysis • Simulation and Optimization
– Predictive algorithms to predict future measurements and related set points that achieve pre-defined objectives
• Operational Modeling– Predictive algorithms to predict future measurements from historical
measurements and operational plans• Advisory and Alert
– Invoked when post-analytical predicted and actual performance differ significantly; alerts for remedial control changes
• Allocation and Reconciliation– Derives critical values from measurements, as in back-allocation of volumes
to wellbores
WITSML Summary: Wellsite Information Transfer Standard Markup Language
“The ‘right-time’ seamless flow of well-site data between operators and service companies to speed and enhance decision-making”
An Open Information Transfer Standard for the Oilfield
WITSML Implementations Update
• Drilling Operations– 40+ technology solutions – 33 vendors participating– Saudi Aramco, StatoilHydro
• Regulatory Agency Use– WITSML oriented reporting– Daily drilling reports
• Certification Program– Self certification now– 3rd party certification in 2008
• Example:

Looking to achieve production optimization?
PRODML: A Collaborative Technology
• The PRODML initiative, hosted by Energistics, is being driven by energy companies and vendors who believe the industry needs:
– A freely available, universally applicable set of industry standards
– To enable low-risk and low-cost use of proven optimization solutions including interchangeability
– To accelerate and encourage innovation in the design, configuration, and deployment of optimization solutions
PRODML: A Collaborative Effort
• The founders of the PRODML initiative in 2005 were BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, and StatoilHydro
• They were joined in 2006 by solution providers Halliburton, Invensys, Kongsberg Intellifield, OSISoft, Petroleum Experts, Schlumberger, TietoEnator, and Weatherford
• In 2007, energy companies ConocoPhillips, Pioneer Natural Resources and ONGC joined the initiative.
• Also in 2007 solution providers AspenTech, Euriware, Honeywell, IBM, Infosys, Intelligent Agent ,Matrikon, P2 Energy Solutions, Petris, Roxar, Satyam, SensorTran and TIBCO joined the initiative.

ArchitectureWITSML/PRODML Integration
WITSML/PRODML and ISO 15926/POSC Caesar RDL
• WITSML-based and PRODML-based components data objects hold references to instances of equipment, material, and facilities.– Details about these are left to be elsewhere– High-level and “middle-level” classifications are
present mainly to enable other technical components• WITSML: Down-hole well equipment (completions)• PRODML: Surface gathering system components,
sub-surface equipment.
WITSML/PRODML and ISO 15926/POSC Caesar RDL
• The PRODML SIG/WG community has conducted more than ten implementations since 2006.– Statoil (StatoilHydro) have conducted two of these pilot
implementations.– Energistics proposed to Statoil to use relevant equipment class names
from their RDL population in their pilot implementations.– It isn’t known whether this has been done.– The opportunity still exists. – Given positive results from such usage, we can document this
approach for those less familiar with ISO 15926.
New Collaborative Technology Projects
• RESQML SIG– Former RESCUE group now under the Energistics umbrella
• Global Unique Well Identifier– Jointly with IHS Energy
• National Data Repositories– Re-energizing the eRegulatory Special Interest Group
ONGC’s Seismic Standardization Initiative
• Assessment goal was to demonstrate the viability of improving geophysics work practices– Energistics working with SEG and the industry
• Assessment identified strong opportunities for improvement in:– Acquisition, Processing and Interpretation– Formats, Usage, Data Exchange and Data Quality
• Assessment will recommend:– Publish best practices, promote adoption, forming Work
Group– Develop geophysics data exchange/web services standards
in conjunction with SEG for post-processing and interpretation datasets
Does the industry (still) need collaborative efforts to produce, refine, and support data, information and process standards?
• The industry seems to continue to struggle with problems resulting from the lack of consistency, quality, compatibility, etc. in data and information as stored, as transferred, and as used.– Non-competitive,
collaborative standards efforts are still needed.
Final thoughts on Open Industry Standards
Final thoughts on Open Industry Standards
• Standards developed in a proprietary fashion :– Have no business value
• Standards developed collaboratively but not widely adopted:– Have only potential business value
• Standards developed in collaboration, widely adopted and deeply deployed:– Have tangible business value
Why are many standards not widely used or not producing intended results?
• We don’t define non-competitive boundaries well?• We don’t step up to the real (full) scope?
– We solve a subset? We solve under idealized conditions?• We don’t see the need to invest precious time, resources,
and expertise? [self-fulfilling prophesy]• We expect standards to be 100% finished and never have to
change again?• We are tempted to stand on the sidelines and let others do
the heavy lifting [standards definition]?
So …
• In order to have the best chance that the results of our collaborative efforts are really used and do produce expected results,– We believe that we must keep what is chosen to be done,
what is being done, and what has been done• In YOUR minds and in YOUR hands.
• Therefore, our recommended emphasis on The Energy Standards Resource Centre and on pursuing qualified Major Initiatives.
