The oil & gas industry faces 3 hard truths ...
Population growth
Economic growth
More affluent society
End of easy oil
Resource nationalism
More unconventionals
Hydrocarbons remain
dominant
CO2 consequences
RISING DEMAND SECURITY OF SUPPLY ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY
-
Increasing operational efficiency contributes to face these hard truths ...
Make better decisions, faster by: increased asset awareness (=measure) increased asset understanding (=model) increased ability to influence production (=control) increased leverage of scarce expertise (=collaborate)
Smart Fields, Intelligent Oilfields, etc are an industry-wide development
-
Oil & gas fields come in many types
Conventional Oil Conventional Gas Heavy oil
-
And decisions have a large time horizon...
ensure safety satisfy environmental
constraints
wells & facilities operations
process control & automation
gaslift optimization
well inflow analysis well stimulation short term forecasting flow assurance production system
optimization
production allocation long term forecasting (waterflood) pattern mngt areal surveillance balance recovery vs
production optimize ultimate recovery
infill drilling further FDP (e.g. SFR) additional EOR facilities upgrade
Real-time Operations Production Optimization Well & Reservoir Management Field Development Planning

Examples of value adding IT technology in oil & gas ...
Global collaboration leverage expertise around the globe, bring work to the expert
Acces anywhere around the globe easy and secure access in real-time to bussiness KPIs, field data, models, etc.
to make the right decision faster Wireless communication in the field
wireless equipment like sensors, actuators, communication Separate application and data layer with a separate connectivity layer
data consistency, flexibility, connectivity Master reference data
ensure that equipment is named consistently by the various applications
-
... and important IT developments Consistent user-interface (portal)
role based visualisation of KPIs for management, engineering, production, etc.
Real-time collaboration leverage expertise, raise awarenes of distribution of skills
Storing large amounts of data on-line reduced cost of storage/housekeeping capabilities makes on-line storage more
viable
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) increase data consistency across applications increase flexibility to add and remove functionality increase connectivity between proprietary and vendor tools
Enterprise Service Bus (part of SOA) making access from various apps/services to information easier

Closing remarks
Smart Fields aims to increase efficiency leading to increase production an ultimate recovery (hard truth 1: demand) increased ability to take on complex developments (hard truth 2: supply) increased ability to reduce environmental footprint (hard truth 3: environment)
IT is a key part to increase efficiency in oil & gas operations real-time access to bussiness and technical KPIs global access to experts, remote operations, global information access, agility etc.
According to CERA the potential benefit is ca. 8% recovery increase, ca. 10% production increase

Where we want to be:
-
The oil & gas industry faces 3 hard truths ... Increasing Energy Demand
82 mln barrel per day in 2005 to 115 mln barrel in 2030 (source IEA)
Deep, remote and complex developments heavy oil, tight gas, smaller volumes, poor reservoir quality, arctic
conditions
Environmental and efficiency demands no flaring, reduction of produced CO2 and water, sustainable
development
-
But Shell Smart Fields is not alone
Digital Oil Fields

Closing remarks
Increased efficiency is required to face 3 hard truths IT technology contributes to a solution:
total asset awareness (= measure) virtual asset management (=model) remote connectivity and collaboration (=decide)
SOA helps to increased data consistency across applications increased flexibility for building analysis modules enhanced connectivity proprietary and vendor tools
-
Examples of IT technology in oil & gas
remote connectivity and collaboration wireless equipment (sensors, actuators, communication)
total asset awareness KPI visualisation at bussiness, production and
engineering level virtual asset management
integrated asset models, decision support, asset-wide optimization
-
Standard visualizatione.g. Microsoft Sharepoint
Applications/services e.g. integrated activity planning, modelling packages
Data layer e.g. Osisofts PI data historian
Orchestration e.g. BizTalk, OSI Soft analysis framework
Business processes e.g. reservoir surveillance, hydrocarbon accounting
Workflow orchestration e.g. hydrocarbon allocation and forecasting
... and standards like the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

In summary IT contributes with both technology and standards
IT technology helps to achieve: total asset awareness (= measure) virtual asset management (=model, control) remote connectivity and collaboration (=collaborate)
IT standards (e.g. SOA) help to increase data consistency across applications increase flexibility and speed to add and remove functionality increase connectivity between proprietary and vendor tools
