INTRODUCTION

4. According to the Law n°9478/97:
1.1. Agency Responsibility
ANP is the National Regulatory Authority for the Petroleum and Gas Industry – from the upstream to downstream activities
ANP has autonomy in Its board of director decisions and Its own annual budget
In the government structure ANP works under the Ministry of Mines and Energy
According to the Law n°9478/97:
Art 22. The technical assets, formed by data and information on the Brazilian
sedimentary basins, are also considered an integral part of the national
petroleum resources, to be collected, maintained and administrated by ANP.

5. Data Regulation issues
1.1. Agency Responsability (cont.)
Data Regulation issues
New geological / geophisical research depends on ANP authorization
All new data acquired in petroleum exploration and explotation must be copied to ANP
ANP must create a National Data Repository
ANP must receive and maintain those and other data and make them available to the public
Petrobras had to transfer all its petrodata to ANP (2,30% of current data collection)
In 2000 – BDEP is founded

6. The competitive market structure led to a growth
1.2. When did the NDR start?
1998: Petrobras Data collection transfer to ANP (legacy data)
2000: Technical cooperation agreement with Geological Survey from Brazil (CPRM)

BDEP FACTS AND NUMBERS

11. 2.1. Major Purposes of the NDR
The BDEP is considered as a key factor to access the oil sector inside Brazil The efficient and easy access to petroleum data is essential for the decision making process inside oil industry
BDEP data collection is important to:
Offer new exploration blocks on ANP
Licensing rounds;
Study and support investment decisions
On those offered blocks
Increase geological knowledge

NON-SEISMIC DATA
On-line data submission and delivery: under construction
ANP Standards need to be updated

17. 3.3. Standards Used Submitted Data must be sticked to ANP standards:
Seismic Data – ANP1B;
Well (Composite Log and Well Data) – ANP05 e ANP07;
Potencial Methods – ANP2B;
Coordinate System and Polygons – ANP4B;
Formation Test – ANP08;
Rocks and Fluids – ANP06.
Being studied: geochemistry and specific non-seimic data (eletromagnetic, telluric, others).

19. 3.5. Data Publication/ Release - USERS
BDEP serves the whole community interested on activities of oil exploration and production in Brazil.
We divide users into four groups:
“Associated Member”
Members pay for a annual quota, according to one of three available plans. Aditional data with lower prices
Smaller producers special plan
“Eventual Users”
Eventual users can ask for specific data anytime, but at a higher cost
“Universities”
ANP provides a quota of free access for academic purposes
“ANP”
BDEP provides data to support ANP studies upon specific areas
DATA PACKAGE for Licensing Rounds
ONLY PUBLIC DATA CAN BE RELEASED TO EXTERNAL USERS
ANP CAN ACCESS ALL DATA COLLECTION AT ANYTIME

20. 3.5. Data Publication/ Release – ASSOCIATED MEMBERS
Eventual Users: all the others concessionaires and service companies

21. 3.5. Data Publication/ Release – DATA DELIVERED
In 2010 BDEP operated 519 data requests (9% of them from ANP – internal clients)
It´s listed bellow the amount of data delivered to BDEP clients:
3.77 TB

26. 4.1. Challenges and Successes (cont.)
Vision
"Being an international reference center on technological innovation, search, collection, storage, availability, processing and interpretation of technical data acquired in Brazilian basins, providing services, encouraging and subsidizing the oil and natural gas in Brazil within five years”.

27. 4.1. Challenges and Successes (cont.)
31 Projects to achieve our strategic goals

28. Projects highlights ON-LINE DATA SUBMISSION/ DELIVERY
Integration with Petrobras network to transfer well data and post-stack seismic data through a dedicated link
SFTP to exchange gravimetry data with universities
Extend on-line access to entire oil industry
AUTOMATED ACCESS TO PRE-STACK DATA COLLECTION
Increase storage capacity or buy a new robotic tape library (in study)
Remaster Project: Reduce amount of tapes (3590 – 3592) with quality check

29. Projects highlights NEW SERVICES Build a 3D visualization room
Acquire WorkStations and softwares to make possible seismic data processing and analysis inside BDEP facilities

30. Project PowerQC for Well Data
Web Systems to data certification

31. Check the conformity of the LIS and DLIS archives with ANP 05 standard
Project PowerQC for Well Data
All the submitted well data to BDEP goes through a quality check process before loading the data at PetroBank
The Quality check is based on the standard ANP05 – for well logs
QUALITY CHECK STEP 1
Performed by companies
Using PowerQC tool
QUALITY CHECK STEP 2
Still manual
Check the conformity of the LIS and DLIS archives with ANP 05 standard
Validation of the mnemonics from standard ANP05
Check compatibility with ANP database (SIGEP)

32. Project PowerQC for Well Data
EFFICIENCY GAINS
The well team does not spend a minute performing QC1 – It used to take 35 minutes per well in average
A lot of data was returned to companies for failing at QC1 – now data only gets inside BDEP with PowerQC certificate
It is a first step for on-line data submission

33. Project runs 24h a day inside BDEP facilities
Project Remaster
Tape Transcription (3590 to 3592 tapes): 205 thousand tapes are going to be copied
Quality control on pre-stack seismic surveys
Assure Data Quality
Reduce amount of tape stored at BDEP
Assure automated access to pre-stack seismic collection
Project runs 24h a day inside BDEP facilities

34. Project Remaster OPERATION TEAM SEISMIC TEAM
Copies the tapes 24 hours a day
Controls all process of copying
Works on the copied tapes
Performs a quality check to certificate the data
Errors during copying process:
Incomplete data
Corrupted Tape
Duplicated traces
Assembling error
Wrong Label
(1,3% with problem up to now)
Load and retrieve the data inside the system to check compatibility with the original data

LESSONS LEARNED

37. The necessity to create mechanisms to reduce the work of the NDR with
Quality control by transferring this responsibility to the companies
Lack of job instructions in the past for the adequate loading process generated
a lot of work on data loaded incorrectly and with lack of information (data attributes)
Feedback from BDEP users and oil industry is very important to improve our
services
Tendering a whole new solution for BDEP in near future: huge effort to design
and write down all the specifications and Service Level Agreements for the new solution (what we want?)
