WITSML Summary

• Wellsite Information Transfer Standard Markup
  Language
• The right-time seamless flow of well-site data
  between operators and service companies to speed
  and enhance decision-making

An Open Information Transfer Standard for the
Oilfield

WITSML benefits to the energy companies

• Efficiency and Optimisation of Drilling
  Performance
• It is an enabler for collaboration technology
• It encourages inter-operability between different
  rig systems
• The invitation to tender process is simplified
  greatly
• Digital solutions can be deployed globally with
  minimum re-work
• Easy to share best practices and run remote
  operations
• Operational Integrity
• Greater access to operational information
  internally and externally
• New smart tools to aid decision making
• Remote operation leading to fewer personnel on
  the rig

  third parties
• The contract and tendering process is simplified
  greatly
• Easier to integrate smart tools and processes
  from third parties
• Easy to share best practices and run remote
  operations
• Operational Integrity
• Greater access to operational information
  internally and externally
• New smart tools to aid decision making
• Remote operation leading to fewer personnel on
  the rig

What would success look like?
Service Companies

• Goals from Real Time/WITSML usage study1
• Access to the information I need to make
  time-critical decisions, regardless of who I am
  currently working with (as a Service Company)
• Neutral way of encapsulating information so that
  it is available regardless of vendor, provider or
  version of their various technology
• Allow me to understand what is happening, at
  anytime, for any (drilling) operations, anywhere
• The ability to use drilling data from any
  technology provider within our (internal)
  processes for decision making

Direct WITSML Data Feed

• Contractor sends Depth and Time logs and
  Trajectory to WITSML store
• PowerStream reflects data edits made at the rig
  site
• TVD is true TVD log is depth corrected at each
  survey station
• Memory data can replace realtime data as it
  becomes available
• Simplified operations - faster updates - higher
  data quality

WITSML Success Measurement

• Are we delivering the objective?
• Enable decisions using Real Time data
• Proven and deployed solutions delivering RT data
  to decision applications
• Simplify data interaction and data reuse
• 90 of data transferred is related to 4 objects
• Limited use of Operational Information
• Reduce complexity
• Incorporation of data has moved from days to
  hours and minutes
• Initiation of data use still issue
• Errors still exist
• Reduce cost
• Time savings
• 5 minute intervals on loading are now considered
  Normal or Maximum
• Technology Improvements
• Application use of RT data increasing
• More accuracy
• Adoption and Use rate indicates value
