PLANNEDACTUAL FPG PPG FPG >2ppg <1ppg Example of Common Drilling Problem
6
Preferred Solution = Real-time Surveillance Acquire quality data Transport data to observers Convert data to information Communicate information to decision-makers
7
Creating Actionable Information from Data
8
Anatomy of an Operations Decision VALUE TIME

Anatomy of an Operations Decision
10
Case-1 Environment Deepwater Well offshore Trinidad Significant uncertainty in subsurface environment High potential for unscheduled events related to uncertainty Need for real-time geomechanics modeling Operator domain expert is not offshore deployable resource Unplanned requirement ~ low budget & short fuse
11
WITSML Server v1.2 Sensor Sensor Aggregator Application PorePressure Expert & Application Sensor WITS Geomechanics Expert & Application BP Office POS Trinidad Constellation-1 DeepWater Trinidad BP Office Houston Texas WITSML Client v1.2 WITSML Server v1.2 WITSML INTRANET WITSML LOW BANDWIDTH LINK Case-1 Schematic
12
Case-1 Installation Baker Hughes Inteq installed WITSML v1.2 server in Port of Spain <30 Minutes in BP Houston Offices –Installed Drillworks ConnectML on client PC –IP Address, UN, Pass, Configuration for server connection –Configure Drillworks data links to ConnectML –Expert begins modeling using real-time data –Expert activates WITSML server to make interpretation available to rig
13
Case-2 Environment Deepwater Gulf of Mexico Well Narrow PP FP envelope (high risk of influx or losses) High potential for pressure related unscheduled events Client requested expert synchronous surveillance from Houston offices Replace WITS with WITSML
14
LOW BANDWIDTH LINK WITSML Server v1.2 Sensor Sensor Aggregator Application Sensor Client Office Houston Texas Ocean Amirante DeepWater Gulf of Mexico WITSML Client v1.2 INTRANET WITSML Case-2 Schematic PorePressure Application and Expert
15
Case-2 Installation Baker Hughes Inteq installed WITSML v1.2 server <30 Minutes in Client Houston Offices –Installed Drillworks ConnectML on client PC –IP Address, UN, Pass, Configuration for server connection –Configure Drillworks data links to ConnectML –Expert begins modeling using real-time data
16
Case-3 Environment Client in case #2 switched LWD vendors
17
LOW BANDWIDTH LINK WITSML Server v1.2 Sensor Sensor Aggregator Application Sensor Client Office Houston Texas Ocean Amirante DeepWater Gulf of Mexico WITSML Client v1.2 INTRANET WITSML Case-3 Schematic PorePressure Application and Expert
18
Case-3 Installation Schlumberger installed WITSML v1.2 server <10 minutes to reconfigure system –IP Address, UN, Pass, Configuration for server connection –Configure Drillworks data links to ConnectML –Expert ready for modeling using real-time data before first tools run in hole
19
Case-4 Environment Shelf project in Gulf of Mexico Precise casing set requirements due to PP ramp Limited rig space for additional personnel Economics would not support onsite analyst Client requested synchronous remote surveillance
20
LOW BANDWIDTH LINK WITSML Server v1.2 Sensor Sensor Aggregator Application Sensor Schlumberger Office Pride Georgia Gulf of Mexico Shelf WITSML Client v1.2 INTRANET WITSML Case-4 Schematic PorePressure Application and Expert KSI Office Sugar Land Texas
21
Case-4 Installation Schlumberger installed WITSML v1.2 server –No apparent delay, unknown install time <30 minutes to configure WITSML client system –IP Address, UN, Pass, Configuration for server connection –Configure Drillworks data links to ConnectML –Expert ready for modeling
22
Lessons Learned WITSML updates slower than WITS –Internet time versus direct cable time Concurrent use of proprietary system (Riglink, Interact) aids in monitoring data dead zones System is still imperfect, and requires companies to collaborate on problems WITSML must be planned before a project. –Connections attempted as after thoughts have failed.
23
Key Accomplishments Technology –Short connect and configure time of <30 minutes –No special hardware or IT involvement required –Low cost –Secure synchronous and asynchronous data exchange –Omni-directional, multi-user data movement –Portable
24
Key Accomplishments Operations –Maximum utilization of bandwidth, data and expertise –Cross discipline collaboration –Delivered the right information to the right people, at the right time –Better decisions resulting from right time, expert analysis
25
Progress? Multiple connections with two major service providers Successful test with Halliburton 11/05 Operators becoming more aggressive in their insistence on WITSML
