3. The Smart Field

measure-model-control … measure-model-decide-execute
… throughout the asset lifecycle

4. Smart Systems

From self-guiding missiles to self-replenishing fridges, the basic
approach of all “smart technology” is measure-model-control




measure system properties
model actual vs desired behaviour
derive required correction parameters (adaptive control)
implement control
Acquire

CERA DOFF: Potential Industry benefits / remarks
Enhanced recovery: 125 billion BOE
Lower operating costs: $4-8 billion/year
Increased production rates: increase utilization 2-6%
Lower facilities cost: 5-10% (3-5 years)
Decreased drilling costs: 5-15%
But
Benefits are not independent, and they require
Integration of higher quality data
Significant change in organizations and work processes
Total asset awareness
Acting on awareness
Increased use of full asset awareness

9. Comments from Operators (re: DOFF)

Better decisions faster
Prediction vs. reaction
$250 million USD / year cost savings
It’s not about the technology
Integrate facilities, wells, subsurface
Find right level of ‘smartness’ for each asset

Asset Maturity Model (AAM)
Basic - Minimum IT structure, ad hoc processes
Standardized - COTS solutions with minimum of customization
Structured - Configured / customized IT solutions to meet specific needs
for the asset
Integrated - Assets networked to operation center(s), EPR systems, wide
range of applications and vendors
Optimal - Smart devices (with human oversight), field performance
integrated with back office, feed-forward and feedback loops for optimal
control

POSC xField: suggested work
XML standards for collaboration
extending footprint of WITSML to include all data types required for
Production System Surveillance and Reservoir Surveillance
Smart Sensors
what is needed for plug-and-play at each level of OSI model
API’s for downhole intelligent devices, protocols (SOAP?), metadata
and metadata management
Market Studies
smart surveillance
for “shared services” in data acquisition and management,
value-added services (pre-processing, analysis, interpretation)
publishing,…
potential business models, and implementation technologies: web
services.

14.

POSC xField Approaches
Understanding / problem identification
- pursue problems will clear (shared) business purposes
Adopt / adapt WITSML
-new Data Types to focus on Production Operations
-production volumes, production tests, temperature, pressures
Focus = Architectures + Data
Develop standards via Pilot Projects
Players = oil + service + regulators
Incremental, rapid results
Catalogues of related work / relevant standards

An oil company perspective on Standards
Standards save money!
uniform hardware, applications, data save $100 Million/year
Standards lead to better science and increased value
Use standards to address interface issues
It’s better to get common than to be best
Industry standards provide cost effective bridge to the digital
oil field

19. Some lessons learned / best practices

The Right Players - clear focus
BP & Statoil
Baker, Halliburton, Schlumberger, NPSi
Commitment
Initial funding by oil companies
Oil & service companies remain engaged after initial delivery
Processes
Practical, incremental approach
Clear focus on target outcomes - through implementation
Frequent communications - steering & technical teams
Technologies
XML, SOAP
Output
XML Schema + Server API + sample implementation
Openness / evolution
Transfer to POSC for commercially neutral custody, publication, promotion
and evolution
