GETTING  THE  WISDOM  FROM  SUBSURFACE  OPERATIONS  

Knowledge  Management  (KM)  is  the  process  of  capturing,  developing,  sharing,  and  effec;vely  using  organiza;onal  knowledge  (Thomas  Davenport,  1994)  

Prior  to  Knowledge,  comes  Data,  which  has  to  be  treated  according  to  same  principles  as  men;oned  above.  

To  share,  an  understanding  of  KM  and  link  to  efficiency,  cost  savings,  resource  u;liza;on,  Health  and  Environment  and  to  minimize  major  incidents  must  be  a  priority  in  order  to  succeed  with  KM.

GETTING  THE  WISDOM  FROM  SUBSURFACE  OPERATIONS  

Introduc;on  and  implementa;on  of  KM  within  the  organiza;on  requires:  

1.  Determine  the  level  of  KM  effec;veness  within  the  organiza;on  and  its  various  players  and  vendors  

2.  Iden;fy  how  KM  best  method  of  applying  KM  within  the  organiza;on  3.  Propose  an  integrated  framework  for  understanding  of  the  link  between  KM  and  HE  in  

addi;on  to  resource  efficiency,  costs  and  skill  profile  vs.  opera;onal  needs.  

What  does  your  organisa;on  have  of  KM  systems  implemented  already  and  how  are  they  implemented  and  how  suitable  is  the  system  given  your  present  and  future  challenges  and  priori;es/  goals.  

You  have  to  define  how  effec;ve  the  KM  is  and  determine  the  best  method  of  sharing  the  outcome  of  the  KM.

WELL  INTEGRITY  MANAGEMENT  SYSTEM  (WIMS)  ASSIST  IN  CONSISTENT  KNOWLEDGE  MANAGEMENT  SYSTEM  (KMS).  

One  emerging  model  WIMS,  which  align  all  elements  including  the  business  process,  handover,  data  management,  and  risk  management.    As  a  sub-­‐set  of  asset  integrity  management,  WIMS  exist  both  at  a  documenta;on  and  so^ware  level,  and  combine  key  well  opera;ng  and  produc;on  data  within  a  framework  for  decision-­‐making,  management  processes,  and  organiza;onal  structure.  

An  advanced  WIMS  can  interface  to  a  wide  range  of  third-­‐party  databases  to  collate  the  necessary  informa;on  for  analysis  and  iden;fica;on  of  wells  shi^ing  outside  cri;cal  safe  opera;ng  limits,  for  the  assessment  of  equipment  reliability  and  well  risk,  and  for  real-­‐;me  es;ma;on  of  various  real-­‐;me  well  parameters.  Data  can  also  be  acquired  real-­‐;me  in  the  field  via  mobile  PC/phones,  entered  manually,  or  via  spreadsheet  loader,  synchronized  instantly  with  the  central  database  to  provide  not  only  a  comprehensive  view,  but  also  a  single  source  of  truth  that  promotes  understanding  of  opera;ng  well  data  across  the  organiza;on.  

Documen;ng  ins;tu;onal  well  integrity  management  into  a  so^ware  product  and  working  system  can  have  major  benefits  for  an  oil  and  gas  company  when  combined  with  a  robust  approach  to  knowledge  management  and  placed  in  the  hands  of  trained  and  experienced  personnel.  It  ensures  consistency  of  data,  which  is  vital  for  oil  and  gas  companies  with  opera;ons  spread  over  large  areas/  regions  or  even  countries  that  need  to  be  confident  that  the  right  people  have  access  to  the  right  informa;on  at  the  right  ;me  for  rapid,  informed,  and  consistent  decision-­‐making.  

It  also  ensures  consistency  in  terms  of  knowledge  management  and  approaches  to  well  integrity.  This  is  essen;al  given  that  large  oil  and  gas  firms  tend  to  have  a  high  turnover  staff  internally,  as  those  tasked  with  managing  well  integrity  are  o^en  moved  to  other  posts  within  the  firm  a^er  a  couple  of  years.  With  opera;ng  well  data  consolidated  within  a  single  user  interface,  the  addi;on  of  smart  func;onality  enables  operators  to  analyze  the  well  condi;on  automa;cally  in  real  ;me  and  generate  concise  reports  customized  to  their  individual  requirements.  This  ensures  they  have  the  specific  ‘tools'  needed  to  sa;sfy  local  regula;ons,  proac;vely  iden;fy  poten;al  problems,  and  plan  test  schedules  and  repairs.  They  can  perform  risk  evalua;on  against  complex  criteria,  for  example,  assessing  tubing  condi;on  based  on  varying  produc;on  condi;ons  or  calcula;ng  Maximum  Allowable  Annulus  Surface  Pressure  (MAASP)    and  other  cri;cal  opera;onal  values  in  real  ;me.  

WIMS  provides  decision-­‐makers  with  the  intelligence  they  need  to  strike  the  right  balance  in  today's  risk-­‐averse  environment.  Making  more  informed  decisions  in  terms  of  carrying  out  maintenance  and  repairs  in  a  ;mely  fashion,  based  upon  a  risk  ranking  strategy  that  not  only  ensures  safety,  but  priori;zes  resources  in  an  op;mum  way  to  lower  the  overall  risk  level  that  it  is  carrying.  It  also  makes  people  more  efficient,  empowering  them  with  the  tools  and  oversight  to  iden;fy  anomalies  before  they  become  incidents.  WIMS  can  help  address  the  human  and  organiza;onal  factors  surrounding  well  integrity,  by  quickly  focusing  staff  aaen;on  on  problem  areas  of  an  asset,  and  by  providing  the  ability  to  manage  by  excep;on.  Given  the  massive  amount  of  data  faced  by  oil  and  gas  operators  today,  a  system  managing  by  excep;on  and  automa;cally  iden;fying  problems,  issuing  email  alerts  and  risk-­‐ranking  wells  that  fail  to  meet  safe  opera;onal  limits,  can  make  a  huge  difference.

BUSINESS  PROPOSAL  FOR  WIMS  

Crucially,  WIMS  can  ensure  that  the  engineering/safety  func;on  operates  independent  of  commercial  considera;ons,  so  that  design  and  risk  decisions  are  free  from  the  complexity  of  mee;ng  financial  targets.  Using  WIMS  to  manage  the  vast  reserves  of  well  integrity  data  available  can  help  oil  and  gas  firms  negate  the  human  and  organiza;onal  factors  that  might  otherwise  prevent  them  from  iden;fying  risk  areas  within  the  well  before  they  become  incidents  that  erode  brand  

Iden;cal  for  most  oil  and  gas  projects,  one  of  the  big  problems  come  up  right  away  is  a  lack  of  any  kind  of  standardiza;on  amongst  the  data.  In  addi;on  users  lack  of  confidence  in  the  data  and  this  is  a  problem.  It  also  most  of  the  ;mes  is  not  possible  to  do  a  complete  look-­‐back  of  the  full-­‐process  history  for  a  given  well.

Advice  which  is  worth  men;oning:  • Always  consult  the  user  base.  They  know  what  they  need  and  how  they  use  the  so^ware.  • Don’t  implement  a  solu;on  that  management  won’t  enforce.
