The Meaning of Deep Dive

• Based on perspective

• Are you intimately familiar with a technology or an outsider looking in?

PAGE 2 / CONFIDENTIAL

Observations

• Early entrants in the O&G upstream space, 2000’s era, have made tremendous inroads in data management and data analytics

- Examples are Pioneer, Anadarko, Devon, and many majors

• The competitive advantage is huge, and there is still much work ahead

• There are 4 main prioritized issues: SCADA efficiencies/cost reductions, safety/well control, environmental concerns, SCADA security

• Wired is always better, but comes at a cost, and may not be practical

• Align yourself with seasoned experience within the internet/telecom communications space

• Don’t lose sight of the oil and gas fundamentals

• The communications industry is really cool


Agenda

• Overview

• Back-haul technologies

• Field/infield technologies

• MQTT Specifics and lessons learned

• Applications

• Summary

• Some thanks


Overview, From the Field to the Office

Back-haul Technologies

• What is it?

• Wired options- Copper vs fiber

- Fiber – lit/dark

- Carrier circuits

• Wireless options- VSAT, microwave, WiFi, others

• Know and understand your requirements, and what is available


Wireless and Wireless Future

• Wired- wired network will continue to grow

- Ownership: private vs public

• Wireless- 5G on the horizon

- LPWAN, low power wide area network growth• Long range, low bit rate for Internet of Things

Telecommunication Wireless Technology History

Entry Company Application

1G 1979 Nippon Analog radio signals

2G 1991 Finland Digital, voice services, slow data transmissions, encrypted texting, picture messages, multimedia messages

3G 2002 Verizon Speed improvements, new IMT-2000 standards, global positioning (GPS), location based services, mobile TV, Videoconferencing, video on demand

4G 2008 Verizon/ATT 10x increase in speed over 3G, higher quality, better wave propagation, LTE communication standard for lower latency and faster download/upload, better coverage, better security

5G 2020 Super high-speed network, Speeds 50x faster than 4G LTE, further reduction in latency, increased capacity, provide ability to connect billions more devices to the IoT, next major leap in telecommunications standards


Field/Infield Technologies

• Wired - Fiber/copper

• Wireless- Cellular

- Bluetooth

- Various versions of Wifi

- Low Power Wan technologies

• Combination


MQTT Overview

• Major IoT communication protocols- TCP, UDP, and MQTT

• MQTT goals

• MQTT history

• Publish/subscribe pattern- Clients, the Broker

- Decoupling

- Filtering

- Storing messages


MQTT Security

• MQTT security vs IoT’s

• 3 levels of MQTT security- Network: required authorization in MQTT server

- Transport: data encryption

- Applications: Provides user name and password for authentication


Case Histories, some misses

• Offshore platform electric wireline bailer

• Midway Sunset field oil dehydration

• West Texas bacteria in drilling water source

• West Texas waterflood production facility settling tank

• West Texas 120 bbl lost oil, vac truck mistake

• New Mexico chemical treating, field and facility level

• Artificial lift: gas lift offshore, ESP’s onshore, rod pumps onshore


Case History: Anadarko Petroleum Corporation

• Launched a data driven program in 2006

• In-house ‘Integrated Production Surveillance and Operations’ system, IPSO

- Began installing sensors in late 1990’s onshore and offshore

- IPSO used to measure, control, and monitor integrates workflows

- Long term goal: to managed 25,000 to 40,000 wells

- Cost to date: less than drilling one well in North America

• Many other companies noted: ConocoPhillips, Chevron, BP, Shell


Comments from Steve Randolph, Anadarko director of production technology, ‘Data analytics optimize drilling technology’, Paula Dittrick, Upstream Technology Editor, Oil & Gas Journal, Nov. 7, 2016,

Case History: Pioneer Water Management, LLC

• Greenfield business solution, created in 2014- Goal: develop sustainable water solutions, and

increase water handling efficiency long term

• Potential size: 20,000 drilling locations, 100 miles main line (30” to 36”), 25 substations, 120 frac ponds

• SCADA and monitoring system installed- Full automation control process

- Multiple layers of controls and optimization

Century’, John Durand and Nick Hines, Pioneer Water Management, LLC, Shale Water Expo 2015, Oct. 14, 2015

Other considerations

• Well site centralization- Ways to get all systems communicating on a

dispersed well site and manage your field centrally

• Company ownership vs rental- Backhaul vs field level

• Cost vs value-added reliability

• Organization structure and culture- Willingness to adapt M2M artificial intelligence

- Ways to blend computer technology and oil and gas upstream experience


The skill of flying requires a strong foundation in theory along with technology


Be passionate, always learn, and execute at a high level


Conclusions

• The ability to implement Data Management for Data Analytics requires a strong communications pathway between the field and office

• This technology will be instrumental in creative competitive advantage for operators in the future

• Security is a big issue

• The best solution for an operator involves an understanding of their needs and communications landscape
