PRODML Introduction

• PRODML - Multi-vendor Data Exchange Format To
  Support Digital Oilfields
• Scope, Deliverables
• Who is building PRODML?
• What are you going to learn in this session?
• Business case for PRODML
• Additional clarity about scope, data, and use
  cases
• How will operators and vendors conduct business
  different as a result of PRODML?
• How you can participate

Who is building PRODML?

• Operators
• BP
• Chevron
• ExxonMobil
• Shell
• Statoil

• Vendors
• Halliburton
• Invensys
• OSIsoft
• PETEX
• Schlumberger
• Sense Intellifield
• TietoEnator
• Weatherford

• Standards
• POSC

EP Data Problem How can PRODML Help?

• Real time data rich, information poor
• Exxon, BP, Shell, Chevron, Statoil have millions
  of electronic instruments
• Generating terabytes of data every day
• Fields are becoming more and more electronic
• How can PRODML help turn this data into useful
  information?

7
What is this data?
Future

• Now
• ESD
• FG
• Process
• Reservoir
• Well
• Surface
• Pipeline
• Devices
• End elements, DTS
• RTU/PLC
• SCADA/DCS

Sensor technology will enable the capture of
continuous streams of data from every part of
the physical environment
8
Disintegrated applications and models?

• Abnormal Situation Management
• Production Allocation - Energy Components
• Optimization Applications Case Lift
• Maintenance Management - SAP
• Reservoir Simulations - MBAL
• Well Simulations - Prosper
• Pipe Line Simulations - Pipesim
• Process Simulations - Romeo

9
What is this thing called Optimization?

• Optimization - a word often used, but rarely
  understood
• Often mentioned but rarely achieved
• If achieved rarely sustained
• One definition Improving the bottom line by
  timely, effective and sustained use of
  sufficient, good production information

10
Gold in them thar data?

• Use data to enable continuous optimization
• Artificial Lift Optimization
• Continuous estimate of well/reservoir oil, gas,
  water flows
• Safeguard integrity
• Abnormal situation management
• Right information to right people, at right time,
  in right context, in right workspace to serve
  right work process
• Enable remote operations and real-time process
  control
• Examples follow

Technical Integrity Problem

• WWhos watching the unmanned wells and facilities
  round the clock?

15
Technical integrity most important

• North Sea one week before Piper Alpha
• Explosion in gas compression module
• SCADA system retrieved data, cause found
• Incident could have been prevented
• Other incidents
• Longford
• Texas City Refinery raffinate splitter
• Flow assurance hydrates, leaks
• Production facilities get more fragile as they
  age!

16
Potential Enabled Business Benefits

• Improved technical integrity
• Improved safety
• Increased production
• Reduced OPEX

17
PRODML Technical Architecture

• Service Oriented Architecture
• Applications can act both as client and server
• Standardised services expressed in WSDL
• Interoperability using SOAP protocol and XML
  documents
