13. Importance of Open Data Exchange Standards Optimizing benefits of highly instrumented assets through technology and collaboration Making efficient use of real-time data streaming from multiple sources Open data exchange standards should be: –Freely available –Universally applicable –Plug-and-play

14. Business Value Message for Standards Standards developed but sitting on the virtual, or any other, shelf have no business value… Standards developed in a collaborative fashion but not widely adopted only have potential business value… Standards developed in collaboration, widely adopted by the industry and deployed in the oilfield have tangible business value that result in: –Improved rates of return –Production optimization –Operational efficiency

15. Focus on Standards Deployment The natural life-cycle of a standard contains three main stages… –The Development Stage attracts the devout E&P data management practitioners and visionaries who understand both the need for and application of open standards –The Pilot Stage adds the back office IT and technical field operations personnel from the operators and service companies to the Development Stage group –The Deployment Stage is of interest to all those focused on bringing efficiency to their operations…and is where we need to focus our efforts
