Generation 1• Terminologies for single domains• The basis for XML schemas for

automatic transferal of data between applications in same domain

Generation 2• Complete ontologies

supporting automated reasoning or inference of data using logical rules

• Taxonomies for multiple domains




Develops terminologies based on solid business knowledge

– Input from project participants

– Other projects specifications

– Domain specific standardsPrepares approval of the terminologies by international standardization bodies

– ISO and W3C

– POSC Caesar and POSCAddresses short term …

– Terminologies and XML schemas for real-time exchange of data

… as well as long term business needs

– Taxonomy and ontology supporting optimization of processes across domains

OLF’s Daily Production Reporting project

One of several fast-track take-up projects initiated by OLF


Daily Production Report- Project details

• Scope: Develop ontology and common XML schemas for daily production report

• Participants: All major operating companies on the Norwegian Continental Shelf

• IIP contribution: Terminology and standard XML

• Pilots: Åsgard and Valhall

• Implementation: Started January 1, 2006

OSIsoft RtPM And The IIP Project

Reliable real-time information pipeline supporting G1 and G2 integrated operations

Provides terminologies, taxonomies and ontologies to be used for real-time optimization of reservoir and production for heavily instrumented oil and gas fields

Provides framework for collecting, structuring, storing and analyzing real-time field data from heavily instrumented oil and gas fields

OSIsoft RtPM in Upstream

• About the upstream business…

• Problems & Solutions

• Exchanging data

• The ProdML Initiative


Priorities in Upstream

• Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) polled leading E&P firms in 2006:– “Total Asset Awareness”

• better sensor technology

• better in-field communication systems

• advanced data mgmt solutions

– Visualization & Analytics• automated model updating

• improved visualization

• system-wide optimization (both surface and subsurface)


OSIsoft in Production & Refining

• 37% of the world’s refined products are monitored by PI

• Installed in 26% of the world’s refineries

• 15% -20% of the world’s oil fields are monitored by PI


OSIsoft RtPM in Upstream

• Green field, brown field, offshore

• Production is a complex business…

– Few free flowing wells

– Most done by injection of steam or gas

Upstream Data Management Problems

• Frequently changing flow network configurations

• Hard-to-measure data– “3 phase” flow meters rare

• Data reconciliation and estimation needed• Back-allocation• Optimization• Reporting must be accurate


Interaction of Applications

• “Chaining” of applications needed in the field

– Measured data feeds estimated algorithms

– Estimated feeds enter back-allocation algorithm

– Allocated data fed to modeling software

– Modeling software drives optimization

– …


Solutions abound

• Many vendors offer analytical solutions

• Data exists, but from a variety of sources

• This suggests a data exchange standard!

“Foundation”

• Foundation is…– A flexible enterprise asset model– Relationships between the assets:

• Hierarchical

• Flow network

• Not just one relationship– Access to:

• PI data

• Relational and web service data


ProdML


ProdML Members

• Oil Companies

– BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, Statoil

• Software Companies

– Halliburton, Invensys, OSIsoft, Petroleum Experts, Schlumberger, Sense Intellifield, TietoEnator, Weatherford

• Standards Organization

– Petroleum Open Standards Consortium (POSC)


Sources

• Wellhead Information Transfer Standard Markup Language (WITSML)

• W3C

• ISO 15926

• OPC UA


ProdML Use Cases: The Flows

• Flow #1– Optimal allocation of lift gas, current time only

• Flow #2– Evaluate model, compare with actual

performance, notify if different, current time only

• Flow #3– Similar to Flow #2, but use historical data
