The Vision:An integrated digital EP Business with processes sufficiently automated to
enable people to achieve superior business performance.

Smart SystemsThe basic approach of all “smart technology” is measure-model-control
– measure system properties– model actual vs desired behaviour– derive required correction parameters (adaptive control)– implement control

The Problem?• Theorem 1: 50% of the problems in the world result from people
using the same words with different meanings• Theorem 2: The other 50% of the problems results from people

Standards … from a major operator’s point of view
• It is better to be common than to be the best• We will get common before we get best• Claim
– Savings of $100 Million / year due to internal standardization

POSC Special Interest Groups• In general, SIGs are User Communities focused on a
standard, a work process, or some other common interest.• Current SIGs:
– Data Store Solutions (DSS) SIG– WITSML (Drilling) SIG– Integrated Operations (IntOPS) SIG– Practical Well Log Standards (PWLS) SIG– Geoshare SIG– eRegulatory SIG
• Characteristics:– Open to POSC members and non-members– Determines, publishes, and promotes consensus recommendations

The Right Initial Players - clear focusBP & StatoilBaker, Halliburton, Schlumberger, NPSi
Strong CommitmentInitial funding by oil companiesOil & service companies remain engaged after initial delivery
Effective ProcessesPractical, incremental approachClear focus on target outcomes - through implementationFrequent communications - steering & technical teams
Choice of TechnologiesXML, SOAP
Comprehensive Output and DocumentationXML Schemas + Server API + sample implementation
Openness / Evolution Public seminars and presentations
Transfer to POSC for commercially neutral custody, publication, promotion and evolution
Some lessons learned / best practices
POSC Challenges
• Help deliver the vision of a digital EP Business• Deliver data and real-time standards
– expand the WITSML footprint – production data,– expand data types – seismic, models, engineering data ?, . . – increase clarity in delivery milestones and targets in coming years
• Facilitate implementation and take-up of EP standards– engage with operators and service companies
• Foster membership time commitment to SIGs (5-10%)• Continue to increase visibility in industry - increase geographic reach• Improve coordination between standard setting bodies
