Real time data in Statoil

VisionAutomated and remotely operated fields

DefinitionAn instrumented and automated field that utilizes People and Technology to remotely monitor, model and control processes in a collaborative, safe and environmentally friendly way in order to maximize field life value.

Integrated Operations in Statoil

How do we address ’Integrated Operations’ in Statoil?

Statoils Onshore Support Centre, Stjørdal

• Onshore Operation Center (OOC)–

– 24/7 under operation

– Operator and service companies

– Faster learning curve of team due to increased exposure

– Trained staff in uncertainty and risk mgt.

– Remote control of geo-steering

– Expertise is not confined to one asset

– Ability to link resources between other geographic operation centers e.g. Bergen, Stavanger & Stjørdal

– Video conferencing capability

Tampen Integrated Operations Way forward

Tampen Area Step 1 “ Incremental step”

Implement Local e-drilling and “e-production management in all Tampen assets.

Step 2 “ Step Change” Establish a 24/7 Onshore Operational Centers (OOC) in Bergen and Stavanger to cover all RESU operational activities in the Tampen area

Step 3 Automated real-time monitoring, control and optimizations of all operations for fields in the Tampen Area from the Onshore Operational Centers Expand OOC to cover other Statoil assets as; INT & UPN

 

Real-time data development

Real time related development

• DART R&D project (started in 1997)

– Developed DART Loader, a tool for transfering drilling data onshore

– Used DART Loader knowledge in Statoil’s WITSML participation

– Worked together with Landmark in their OpenWire development (input&testing)

– Developed Survey QA/QC in 2002/2003

• Application for automated real time data management and independent quality control service for directional survey data

Real time related imeplementation

• OpenWire implemented in Statoil 2003/2004 (Real Time Service – RTS)– Real time centre with OpenWire, supporting all licenses/operation

rooms– 24/7 support in the near future– Vast majority of 2003 ”WITSML wells” in the world drilled by Statoil on

the Norwegian continental shelf.

• Time based drilling data– Currently Statoil does not have a solution for viewing/accessing time

based drilling data – We are are in the process of acquiring a system– There is no off-the-shelf product/solution available– We have tenders from 7 potential vendors – that shows great interest– Evaluation in process– Contract to be awarded Q2 2004

Future development

• WITSML for time-based right-time data (drilling, production and facilities)– Formats– Procedures– Tools / models

• Consolidate the current developed WITSML standard for depth based data and increase the use of the full potential in the defined standard

• WITSML formats for seismic data?
