IO: from ambition to integrated action
• Land based support• Real time data• Increased interaction• Production optimization• Condition based monitoring from shore• Training• Cooperation rooms
• Experience transfer• Better use of vendors• 24/7 support on request• Standardization of toolbox• Wireless technology
• Operation 24/7• Certifying of competency• Integrated management• Real time 3-D models• Virtual cooperation arena• Remote support from vendors
Efficient support
Integration between licensees
Geographical independence

The numbering and order of items represents no prioritization or importance of the key areas O&M – Operations and Maintenance
Facilities and IT equipment – onshore offshore
Results – Production optimization on Heidrun
• Improved collaboration onshore and onshore/offshore
– Better cross-disciplinary understanding
– Working as one team
”This way of working has lead to a more open, tighter and better dialogue onshore/offshore. The
consequense is increased production under safer producing conditions”
Production leader at the Heidrun TLP
• Increased oil production by 6% in 2006 => +500 000 Sm3/year
eField drivers
Integrated Operation and economy
•NPD and OLF has calculated the value of IO on the Norwegian
shelf to be 40 billion USD
•Statoil’s anticipated IO-potential is more than 50 % of the above
•External review of the Integrated Operations efforts on one of our
major fields calculates the value created to close to 1 billion USD,
with a further potential of 0,7 +\- 0,4 billion USD
Current status on the use of WITSML in Statoil
Overal use of WITSML in Statoil
•Statoil have transferred information
from 300+ wells with the use of WITSML
(and stopped counting)
•Incorporate all wells operated by Statoil
in the Norwegian sector
•Incorporate a growing amount of wells
internationally (Iran, Venezuela, Angola
etc.)
Current situation from our IT real time support centre in Statoil
•Period 1/6-06 to 31/8-06:
– WITSML = 29 wells
– = 85 191 m WITSML stream
– = 255 571 ft WITSML stream
PROBLEMS with the start of 50% of these streams due to lack of
automation
Challenges with real-time WITSML stream
•Still many manual operations to set up and maintain the real-
time stream
•WITSML not properly supporting automisation
•Applications is not properly supporting real-time data
•Some of the products in the data stream are not built to support
multiple well streams (up to 20 simultaneous wells)
•Manual work needed to handle dialects of WITSML and multiple
versions in use
Good thing about the real-time WITSML stream
• It does its job of transporting data to the
end users in the operations centres in
Statoil
• The users are getting used to the use of
real-time data due to every well being
transferred in real-time (it drives habits)
• It is one of the cornerstones in
harvesting the overall value of
Integrated Operations
