E&P Information Topology

Integration of data is a core requirement in E&P

Data Integration Requirements

• Utilize time in gathering and interpreting data rather than

manipulating data formats

• Nice to have Work Flow based integrated business processes than

having standalone systems in silos

• Seamless data flow between variety of hardware, software tools

and systems

• Integration with minimum semantic loss

• Integration requirements arising due to corporate mergers, multiple

technology landscapes etc.

Need for Data Standardization

• Data standardization plays an important role in– Interoperability– Protection of Investment in Technology– Adoption of Latest analytical and modelling tools– Information Sharing across Enterprises– Regulatory Compliances

Benefits of Data Standardization• Promote collaboration between vendors, operators, and standards

organizations

• Expedite data receipt & loading, data search & tracking

• Enable workflow automation

• Easy and effective integration among enterprise tools• Real time decision making

• Improved data quality• Productivity improvements

• Eliminate need for point to point specifications for data exchange

Challenges in Data Management

• Heterogeneous Data - Standardization of data originating

from different sources (both hardware and software)

• Handling large volumes of data

• Data cleaning and screening (Legacy Data)

• Data storage, archival and retrieval

• Proprietary unpublished data formats

Prevailing Open Data Standards

• Drilling standards – WITSML

• Production standards - PRODML

• Geophysics and reservoir standards – Geophysics ML

For the list of additional standards : Refer to http://www.energistics.org

Data Integration Approaches

• XML based Standards

• XML based Communication Patterns (SOAP)

• Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

• End to End ERP Solutions

• Knowledge Management Tools

LAS to WITSML Conversion

A Case Study

Project Objectives• To produce a tool to convert LAS log data to

WITSMLTM with interactive and batch interfaces• For use by log analysts, petrophysicists and data

managers. • To convert existing log data from CWLS LAS 2.0

format into WITSML™ wellLog data representation
