2. e&pdct Using WITSML to deliver enhanced D&C performance in BP Presentation to public meeting 19/10/06 Julian Pickering, Domain Lead Drilling & Completions

3. e&pdct 2 BP’s WITSML data management vision Very strong focus on driving the marketplace to embrace the enhanced capabilities of WITSML – eg. plug & play of intelligent algorithms and tools. Develop a truly open environment for information exchange. Share data between BP and vendors/service providers, partners and regulatory/statutory reporting bodies. Single point data entry. –Pre-populate the Daily Report (DIMS/OpenWells) –Update designs with changes between BP and contractors –Maximise data entry automation

4. e&pdct 3 The D&C Digital service delivery BP is re-defining its digital technology delivery to support Drilling & Completions We are looking to standardise tools and processes on a global basis D&C Digital is an integrated service delivery covering R&D technology and applications support D&C Digital is a mark of quality that justifiably sets expectations for our customers Everyone delivering digital services to the BP D&C community will be seen as an extended member of the D&C Digital team

5. e&pdct 4 An integrated program Establish the base –D&C Digital Recommended Practices Build the infrastructure –Remote D&C Operations Enable the future –D&C Visualisation & Simulation Increasing business value

6. e&pdct 5 D&C Digital Recommended Practices The D&C Digital portal will be a single access point for all information on D&C global operations. It will also contain the latest information on D&C Domain projects and D&C Digital operations. D&C Digital RP’s will be developed and published in the “Best Practice” area. The portal will be available in June 2006. The D&C Digital portal is a tool for the D&C global community.

8. e&pdct 7 D&C Visualisation and Simulation High Level Benefits Statement Create a step change in visualisation and operations monitoring in the D&C Domain to reduce NPT, improve well delivery, reduce cycle times and improve access in remote and hazardous drilling environments TARGETVALUE Reduce NPT and Optimize well delivery. Support visualization, automation and simulation of the entire well delivery system through deploying and developing new and future technologies Anticipate, detect and prevent problems associated with subsurface environment, logistics, equipment failures and weather. Virtual drilling of wells in the context of the full earth model. Real-time model update during actual drilling. Reduce planning cycles and NPT while facilitating accelerated well delivery. Deliver Expertise through aggregation and remote collaboration with a high performance visual toolset. Facilitate enhanced decision making and decreased head count at the rigsite. Address shortage of discipline expertise through collaboration and effective use of intelligent technology. Improve HSE through de-manned and ultimately unmanned operation. Automated workflows will improve incident prevention. Meet BP’s HSE targets and drive greater productivity in well delivery.

10. e&pdct 9 Summary from the WITSML perspective A clear unambiguous WITSML standard is a must have for the D&C Digital programme The standard must be stable for a defined period (2 years?) Third party tools and smart processes must be plug and play D&C Digital needs WITSML now to fulfil its delivery targets The D&C Digital team has a significant task ahead to convince the BP D&C community of the value of WITSML WITSML is part of the D&C Digital strategy but it extends far beyond this.
