  • Business Overview of PRODML
    Business Overview of PRODML This document introduces the PRODML™ family of standards and provides an overview of what they are for and how and why they were developed. What is PRODML? The software applications used to support production workflows are available from multiple vendors. However, they cannot be integrated easily because they typically have their own data structures and incompatible designs. This leads to high cost of integration, a proliferation of point to point links, high cost of maintenance and poor flexibility to cope with change. PRODML is the name of an industry initiative to provide standard interfaces between software tools used to monitor, manage and optimize hydrocarbon production. It is also the name of the family of web services and data exchange standards that the initiative has created. The purpose of PRODML is to increase innovation in the composition of optimization solutions for production systems while reducing cost and risk. This translates into enabling the development of plug compatible software by energy sector vendors as well as energy companies. The PRODML standards form a framework within which energy companies can configure processes related to operations, optimization, reporting, and/or information management. PRODML enables the vision of Digital Oil Fields of the Future PRODML reduces the lifetime cost of information exchange in the Energy industry. PRODML standards are key components in today's IT Enterprise Architectures PRODML schemas standardize information exchange The PRODML standards are managed by energy companies and vendors participating in the PRODML Special Interest Group (SIG) that is facilitated by the Energistics consortium. PRODML supports workflows for Production Operations and Optimization PRODML focuses on production workflows from the reservoir-wellbore boundary to the custody transfer point, and on production optimization decisions that can be effected within a day.

  • Use Case: Ontology-Driven Information Integration and Delivery a Survey of Semantic Web Technology in the Oil and Gas Industry
    > Semantic Web Use Cases and Case Studies Use Case: Ontology-Driven Information Integration and Delivery A Survey of Semantic Web Technology in the Oil and Gas Industry Frank Chum, Chevron Information Technology Company April 2007 Introduction The purpose of this paper is to survey some significant applications of Semantic Web technology in the oil and gas industry, and describe a use case on how the industry can leverage this technology. Key Business Drivers “There is a million miles of spaghetti eaten every day!” The same can be said about data in the oil and gas Industry. A large amount of data is generated every day from multiple sources such as seismic data, well data, drilling data, transportation data, and marketing data. Integrating these heterogeneous data to capitalize on their information value has been complex and costly. These data exist in a structured form in databases, and in semi-structured forms in spreadsheets and documents such as reports and multimedia collections. To deal with the flood of information, as well as the heterogeneous data formats of the data, we need a new approach for information search and access. For the major capital projects (see application examples below) in the industry, information needs to be standardized and integrated across systems, disciplines and organizational boundaries. This information integration will enable better decision making within collaborations, as high quality data will be accessible in a timely fashion. “Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and 1 community boundaries.” The Semantic Web technology provides a standard for machine-operational declarative specification of the meaning of terms based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF).

  • AKSIO – Active Knowledge Management in the Petroleum Industry
    AKSIO – Active knowledge management in the petroleum industry David Norheim 1, Roar Fjellheim 2 1UniK and Computas AS, Norway, [email protected] 2Computas AS, Norway, [email protected] Abstract . The AKSIO project is developing a process-enabled knowledge management system to support operations of offshore oilfields. The system will provide timely and contextual knowledge for work processes. Experiences will be processed and annotated by experts and linked to various resources and specialist knowledge networks. AKSIO will allow discovery of experiences through the support of a domain ontology. Core functionality of the AKSIO system is provided by careful application of Semantic Web technology, including ontology-based annotation and contextual ontology driven retrieval of content. 1 Introduction As the third largest exporter of crude oil (ca. 3 million barrels/day or 4% of the world’s oil production), the oil and gas industry is of major importance to Norway. The petroleum resources are located in the North Sea, a challenging environment for oil and gas production. Oil companies have deployed advanced technology to increase output and reduce cost. Increased output from the fields is possible due to new use of technology and methods e.g. injection of Natural Gas, Water and CO 2 in the oil wells. To various degrees all major operators and service companies in the North Sea are implementing the concept of Integrated Operations (IO). In IO, the offshore oil platforms are connected by high-speed data links to on-shore control centers, where multidisciplinary teams collaborate to optimize operations and rapidly solve any problems. The ultimate goal of IO is to maximize value created from petroleum resources, which can only be ensured by a continuous stream of right decisions made at the right time.

  • ISO 15926, and the Data Handover Standard CFIHOS Based on It
    Enabling step-change For managers: About the interoperability standard for process plants ISO 15926, and the data handover standard CFIHOS based on it. ISO 15926 & CFIHOS Onno Paap – https://www.linkedin.com/in/onnopaap/ March 2020 Purpose Interoperability using standards: For data integration ─ISO 15926 For data handover from Engineering contractor to Owner/Operator ─CFIHOS (Capital Facilities Information Handover Spec) Purpose: Decrease risk by higher data quality and save cost. 2 ISO 15926 – what is it? International standard, ISO TC184-SC4 WG3 (industrial data related to discrete products); Neutral layer used for data integration; Federation of databases – Semantic Web technology; Interoperability standard; Interoperability meaning: “the ability of different types of computers, networks, operating systems, and applications to work together effectively, without prior communication, in order to exchange information in a useful and meaningful manner”. 3 What is in ISO 15926? Reference data library (RDL) = A central online database http://data.posccaesar.org/rdl And also a work-in-progress database http://data.15926.org/rdl Data integration and interoperability methodology Open source software http://15926.tools 4 Why did we need ISO 15926? Shell said: We need a data model that can withstand the changes of the times. A process plant can be running for a period up to 50 years while software typically is changing every 2 years. BP said: A system of systems must interoperate through major projects and operations Reference data is critical, but does not deliver interoperability alone Standard connectors are required to deliver interoperability Commercially available ‘interoperability’ solutions depend on fragile, expensive and proprietary integration 5 What is the scope of ISO 15926? ISO 15926 is targeted for data on process plants.

The project is funded by the industry itself, and the Norwegian Research Council. First of all, I want to express my sincere thanks to my principal supervisor, Pro- fessor Andreas Prinz. His valuable guidance, suggestions and continuous support helped me from the very beginning till the completion of this work. I believe that the lessons I learned from working together with him will always guide me forward in the future. I also must say thanks a lot to my co-supervisor, Professor Frank Re- ichert. Without his encouragement and supervision, I could not have developed an overview understanding of this subject and mapped it into the thesis.
