Total current budget: Project Duration: 24 MNOK (3 MEUR) 16.06.04 – 30.06.07

The project is partly funded by The Norwegian Research Council program PETROMAX and by the project participants.

One of several fast-track take-up projects initiated by OLF Daily Production Report - Project details

• Scope: Develop ontology and common XML schemas for daily production report • Participants: All major operating companies on the Norwegian Continental Shelf • IIP contribution: Terminology and standard XML • Pilots: Åsgard and Valhall • Implementation: Started January 1, 2006

Operator ISO LicenseWeb Authorities, operator 15926 & partners

• Benefits: Efficient exchange of production data and daily production reporting

Provides terminologies, Provides framework taxonomies and ontologies for collecting, to be used for real-time structuring, storing optimization of reservoir and analyzing real- and production for heavily time field data from instrumented oil and gas heavily instrumented fields oil and gas fields

• About the upstream business… • Problems & Solutions • Exchanging data • The ProdML Initiative

• Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) polled leading E&P firms in 2006: – “Total Asset Awareness” • better sensor technology • better in-field communication systems • advanced data mgmt solutions – Visualization & Analytics • automated model updating • improved visualization • system-wide optimization (both surface and subsurface)

• 37% of the world’s refined products are monitored by PI • Installed in 26% of the world’s refineries • 15% -20% of the world’s oil fields are monitored by PI

• Green field, brown field, offshore • Production is a complex business… – Few free flowing wells – Most done by injection of steam or gas

• “Chaining” of applications needed in the field – Measured data feeds estimated algorithms – Estimated feeds enter back-allocation algorithm – Allocated data fed to modeling software – Modeling software drives optimization – …

• Many vendors offer analytical solutions • Data exists, but from a variety of sources • This suggests a data exchange standard!

• Foundation is… – A flexible enterprise asset model – Relationships between the assets: • Hierarchical • Flow network • Not just one relationship – Access to: • PI data • Relational and web service data

• Oil Companies – BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, Statoil • Software Companies – Halliburton, Invensys, OSIsoft, Petroleum Experts, Schlumberger, Sense Intellifield, TietoEnator, Weatherford • Standards Organization – Petroleum Open Standards Consortium (POSC)

• Wellhead Information Transfer Standard Markup Language (WITSML) • W3C • ISO 15926 • OPC UA

• Flow #1 – Optimal allocation of lift gas, current time only • Flow #2 – Evaluate model, compare with actual performance, notify if different, current time only • Flow #3 – Similar to Flow #2, but use historical data
