Energistics is a global, not-for-profit, membership

consortium that serves as the facilitator, custodian and

advocate for the development and adoption of

technical open data exchange standards in the

upstream oil and gas industry.

PRODUCTION STANDARDS

PRODML Volume Reporting

2001 WITSML starts

2005-6 Norway NPD and Energistics current “Product Volume” + Network + Well Test (based on earlier Mobil, etc.)

2006-7 PRODML starts, adopts earlier work, does pilots

By ~ 2011, daily reporting standard NCS, ~2014 monthly

In-house use in some other companies

Feedback from most: Product Volume “too complex”

2012 start NDR Project to engage regulators & simplify

2014 North America Partner Reporting project

Simplified Volume Reporting Schema Concepts

July 2014

PRODML NDR* Group

* National Data Repository

Background

Regulatory SIG had identified production reporting as an area of interest at “NDR 10”

Jan 2011 kick off meeting in London, attended by 6 countries – agreed objectives

– Why collect data, what is benefit of a standard?

– What is common data set to focus on?

Demo shown at “NDR 11” Oct 2012, specs reviewed 12 countries

Objectives

Simplify current PRODML

Support majority Regulatory Production Reporting needs

Exploit new V2 Style and architecture from Energistics

Alternative Approaches Examined

1. Schema which reproduced the document reviewed at NDR11

Easy to map onto document

Inflexible – in reality, regulators do not have such common requirements as was assumed

2. Profile (cut-down) of current PRODML product volume schema

Already used in Norway; known to companies

Proved complex and not simple to understand even when pruned back to minimum.

3. Whole new schema but using current concepts where possible

Give enough flexibility but keep it as simple as possible

Takes longer to develop, not compatible with current

Concept

2 types of object comprise the report:

1. Shared Asset Model comprising:

A. Facilities – list of Facility objects describing the components making up the reported operation

B. Hierarchies – representation of Facilities as arranged in roll-up structure for reporting.

2. Production Reports – the production data, reported per Facility as required, e.g.:

A. Production

B. Well Status

C. Well Tests…..

PRODML: North American Production ReportingOVERVIEW OF OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

PRODML NOJV ProjectCall for Participation/Kick-off

June 6 2014

Terry Kite & Kemal Farid

Merrick

Project Objective

Analyze and extend (if needed) PRODML schemas necessary for the reporting of production related data to non-operating joint venture (NOJV) partners, and royalty owners in North America.

Standards established and lessons learned by the NCS Production Reporting and work in progress by the National Data Repository workgroup will be leveraged.

Regulatory reporting in North America will not be in this project’s scope.

Business Case

Some of the challenges of reporting production data to other relevant entities in North America are:

Lack of a standard (protocol, format and mechanism)

Associated requirement for a significant amount of manual effort both in creating data to be transmitted, and receiving/consuming it

NOJV partners are increasingly requesting more detailed data (daily and monthly), resulting in a significantly increased quantity of data to be transmitted

Timelier reporting needed to support decision making (e.g., marketing, participation in projects) and internal reporting (accruals, etc.)

Uses Cases

Receive monthly & daily production data directly from operating partner

Transmit monthly & daily production data directly to a participating JV partner.

Collecting production data from acquisitions.

Reporting production data to divestitures.

Transmit monthly and daily production data on multiple wells to a central data exchange. The transmission should optionally include a list of participating entities by well so that the exchange can limit access to the production data as appropriate

Summary of Volume Reporting

PRODML Volume Reporting - Current Status

Both these volume projects using same Simplified Production Reporting schema

Data Model work under way

Testing/PoC will be done

PRODML migrating to “V2” Common Technical Architecture

Release first capabilities Q2 2015

In Summary

Not-for-profit umbrella body, handles anti-trust etc.

Free to use data standards

Regulatory and N American partner projects underway

Good potential for adoption elsewhere
