  • 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.
