Baku – Republic of Azerbaijan

Dating back to the 6th Century AD Baku endured a long and tumultuous history as the Iranians and Russians fought for control until in 1723 after a siege using cannons Baku surrendered to the Russians. It was not until 1813 that Azerbaijan was formerly included within the Russian Federation.

Azerbaijan declared independence from the Soviet Union on 30th August 1990

Climate is ‘humid sub tropical’ with warm summers and relatively mild winters.

The average annual temperature of Baku and that of the Earth differ by less than 0.1°C (0.2°F): it is 14.2 °C (57.6 °F).

The first exploitation of oil was in the 8th century and the first pipeline in the World was operational in 1907.


2.State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic

SOCAR is a 100% state-owned commercial legal entity established in accordance with the

legislation of the Azerbaijan Republic in 1992. The Company’s principal business activities are the exploration, development, production, transportation, refining and marketing of oil and gas.

In addition to being the National Oil Company (NOC) of Azerbaijan, SOCAR is the regulatory authority for the management of the Petroleum and Natural Gas resources on behalf of the Government of Azerbaijan.

SOCAR has over 90 total years of experience in the E&P sector starting from Soviet era, and has gained a worldwide track record as a historical centre of excellence for its high quality technical personnel, and its total commitment to supplying the highest levels of producing hydrocarbons

SOCAR’s Azneft Production Union produces oil and gas from over 6,000 wells onshore and offshore. Azneft is made up of 11 Oil and Gas Producing Departments (OGPD), focused on various operating regions.

SOCAR also represents the interest of the Azerbaijan government in more than 30 oil and gas PSA contracts signed with international and national companies in 1994-2010.

Over 20 main subdivisions, over 78,000 employees Production in Azerbaijan was started in 1840’s in Bibiheybat field (Baku) SOCAR headquarters are based in Baku, Azerbaijan


2.State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic

NDR Project Objective SOCAR has determined the need for construction of a database in order to support its

activities as an operating company, as well as to preserve the data generated by other operating companies in Azerbaijan, and to promote new E&P blocks through licensing rounds or direct negotiations.

Azerbaijan is the oldest hydrocarbon province in the world, and has therefore accumulated a great deal of information over the years. The SOCAR database is expected to preserve this valuable information for the nation.

Expected Benefits Preserve in digital form all new technical data generated by SOCAR own activities Preserve in digital form all technical data submitted by joint venture companies Convert to digital form and preserve historical data that is mainly on paper Promote oil and gas licences more effectively Provide quick access to data by “entitled” users (users who have been granted rights to

access data) Easily assemble datasets for project work


3.SOCAR NDR Project Overview GOALS OF THE SOCAR National Data Repository (NDR)

– To establish an NDR containing all main types of SOCAR technical data and make these data available to entitled users within the SOCAR company. Empower SOCAR staff to operate and maintain the NDR independently.

Tender procedure was started in 2009. About 30 companies, including industry champions, have applied for this tender bid. Fugro was announced as a winner in Nov 2009

3 Year Project signed in March 2010, with option to extend for a further 2 years Main Data Types

– Well data -- Sample analysis data– Geophysical data -- Reservoir data – Production data -- Engineering Geology data – Drilling data -- Spatial (map) data

Focused on knowledge transfer – Empowering rather than Doing– To Provide formal and on-the-job training and supervision of SOCAR staff– To supervise the loading of the pilot data

Initial Pilot Data Load – Year 1– 900 Wells 500 2D Seismic Lines 5 3D Surveys

After the Pilot Data Load Phase SOCAR Staff will take over the running of the NDR with support from FDSL staff


3.BENEFITS OF PROJECTIn addition to those initially expected benefits listed in Tender Documents (slide 4), the following benefits can be highlighted after first year of NDR Proejct:

Various SOCAR divisions came to better understanding on Corporate Data Base necessity and usage SOCAR divisions started audit of their archives and types of dataConceptual SOCAR Data Model has been created, with main and supporting data typesProject Team has been created, including more than 100 engineers and technical staff:

– Infrastructure (10)– Core Data Management (12)– Data Quality (10)– Extended Data Loading (60)– Scanning Team (10)

:Control of SOCAR data will be completely in the hands of the various SOCAR teams set up specifically for this projectProject team is a basis for collaborative work with users in places (producing, drilling, geophysical sites)People in places have received additional training, became more educated in computers, programs, scanningAdditional working places were createdScanning was added to initial scope of project. Scanning is critical for contemporary and full NDR creation


3.Team Work – Main Project Benefit

The Logo Competition was the first actual start for Project Team Work.

Department teams (Infrastructure, Core, Data Quality, Scanning) now work in close collaboration with units (drilling, producing, G&G), which empowers the whole project.

Now, after 11 months of project, SOCAR divisions understand the project goal much better, participate with great interest, collaborate with ITRI and Fugro teams. Several important decisions and solutions became possible as a result of this collaborative team work.


4.ODLAR Application Ease of Use

FDS Data Management TRAXX application, named ODLAR for the SOCAR-adjusted tri-lingual instance, is a highly scalable, highly secure, easy to use application with a rich functionality set that will serve the needs of the most demanding users.ODLAR is accessed through a web browser and requires no other application software to be loaded on a PC.The ODLAR Interface is available in Azeri, Russian and English and can be switched between different languages at any time.Searching for data is handled as either a simple search or a complex filtered search within the same interface.Data can be downloaded (if entitlement is granted) in MS Excel format for use in other applications or reports.A GIS map interface is provided to allow spatial queries to be carried out.Special reports can be formatted to provide data in a pre-defined layout.


5. Managing Data - Ensure High Quality

Data Quality will be checked at 5 stages throughout the Data collection and upload process with data consistency ensured by use of Data Dictionaries for appropriate attributes

– Data Validation during initial Data Entry– Data Dictionary only selection for certain attributes– Data Validation against Data Source– Validation against database structure– Random Selection and checking– Full analysis of error trends with remedial action for repeated user error

Responsibility for Data Quality rests with the Data Holders with the majority of the corrections being carried out at the Data Source

Comprehensive data audit functionality recording all changes made to attributes


4.What is ODLAR?

ODLAR (‘Flames’) stays for Oil Data Library of Azerbaijan Republic

The name and logo for SOCAR NDR project is a result of competition in CDB Department in May 2010. More than 20 variants were proposed and discussed. Resulting logo is a combination of most popular pictures


4.Controlled Access

Security of Data is a Major feature of the ODLAR system

IP restricted Access Access only available on SOCAR LAN no externally facing data links Encrypted Login with individual username and password Strong Password validation with password ageing No direct database access - read only access through a web browser Data Entitlement set at row level and assigned by login credentials Functionality entitlement set by login credentials All Data transactions within ODLAR are recorded Direct Data Upload from within a unit is available for Sensitive data sets Units can set Data Entitlements thereby controlling access to Data

6. Challenges & Solutions

Data Identification and Delivery Availability of SOCAR Team members Correct Utilisation of SOCAR NDR Equipment Performance Monitoring Data Standardisation


6.1.Data Identification and Delivery

Data Identification and collection will require SOCAR dedicated staff to carry out this function

Data has been requested from Units, but so far there has been very little data provided.

It is understood that there is a concern regarding the temporary removal of data from Units for Scanning and data extraction. The cooperation and assistance of Unit Heads is sought in order to ensure the success for SOCAR of this important project.

Digital Data once provided will remain within the NDR Project Teams control at all times and will only be available through the ODLAR Application

If Unit Heads have any concerns then these must be discussed with SOCAR senior management in order to reach an acceptable solution


6.2.Availability of SOCAR Teams

This project requires the assistance of the Extended Data Loading Teams who have been identified within the Unit offices and for whom training is being given

Whilst it is accepted that these staff currently have full time work within the Unit, time must be allocated to permit the required Data Loading.

Unit Heads should discuss any perceived problems with SOCAR senior Management in order to reach an acceptable solution

If additional SOCAR Staff are required then strong consideration should be given to the provision of these staff to ensure timely delivery of data to the SOCAR NDR teams


6.3.Correct Utilisation of Equipment Equipment (Computers, Scanners and Barcode Readers) will be provided to

each Unit and must be made available for SOCAR NDR Extended Data Loading Teams to use uninterrupted.

This equipment has been provided for the task of Data Entry and will be required exclusively for this task.

It is recommend that each Unit provide a dedicated room with sufficient space for the supplied equipment and SOCAR staff assigned to Data Loading.


6.4.Performance Monitoring At key stages of the data collection

and QC the performance of data loaders will be monitored

For persistent error reports noted against staff, these staff will be provided with refresher training and additional mentoring in order to improve performance.

Where possible, Data Entry processes will attempt to mirror existing working patterns in order to reduce errors.

This performance monitoring is to enable a higher quality data set being uploaded to the SOCAR NDR and to indicate which areas require additional training or revision of processes.


To permit easy data retrieve from searches a standardised sets of data attributes are proposed.

The Naming Convention on Wells, Fields and Horizons is an important topic and is discussed jointly between SOCAR and FDS

After series of discussion in SOCAR subdivisions, Naming Convention is subject of approval on SOCAR high level management, for further usage in ODLAR system

For all standard data elements, embedded dictionaries have been created. This gets the data entry process easier and exclude mistakes

Dictionaries are subject of extension by EDLT teams, under Project Team supervision

An example of the proposed well names is shown in the following table:
