1. Collaborative Digital Surveillance: Improving Decisions Through Visualization Technology Stephen Smart Subsurface Modeling Concepts, Inc.

2. Surveillance Objectives Leverage the knowledge and experience of the multi-disciplined asset team in order to reach essential value added goals which are burdened with complex non- unique solutions. Make decisions efficiently and expediently Review results of various methods used. Bring the best results forward as “Best Practices”.

3. “Expanding the use of new-generation digital technologies [remote sensing, visualization, intelligent drilling/completions, automation, data integration] can potentially increase world oil reserves by 125 billion barrels” “The bits and bytes will work, but the biggest challenge relates to adoption and assimilation – people changing how they work” Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA)-Press Release February 11, 2003

16. Automation: (rod pump data, gas lift data, water injection data)

17. Spotfire Added to the Arsenal Outside of Group Meetings: –Integrates most of the data to be used in surveillance reviews. –Captures Anomalies (good and bad) as potential opportunities. –Provides analysis of methods that work well and those that fail. During Group Surveillance: –A quick look back from 30,000 feet, prior to making a final group decision to act (or not).

18. Provides analysis of methods that work well and those that fail.

19. Integrates Data and Captures Anomalies (good and bad) as potential opportunities. Low Productivity Ratio High Productivity Ratio

20. A quick look back from 30,000 feet before making a final group decision to act (or not).

22. The Future of CDS Centralized work rooms with digital projectors and multiple PC’s Re-alignment of resources, culture, with emphasis on new skill sets Multi-Site Collaboration Facilitated by: –Increased band width technology –Decrease in the cost of technology –Thin Client technology –Synchronized Graphics Display technology Advantages Bridges geographical barriers Less set up time, quicker system access Reduce overhead costs “do more with less” Total system cost approx. $90 K Reduced travel time and costs
