3 The Challenge of Point to Point Integration 3

4 What problem are we trying to solve? Finding the right balance of granularity in the architecture Too much definition of detail from the central function results in brittle solutions that are unsustainable and cannot meet unique requirements of projects globally. Too little definition results in an architecture that is just a list of things ; products and services defined as standards without adequate OC, usage guidelines, or infrastructural support. 4

11 What s New? What s Coming?» The Common Technical Architecture (CTA) allows data objects from different MLs to be combined seamlessly to support cross-functional workflows» Synchronized release of new versions of WITSML, PRODML, RESQML, ETP due out in Oct 2016» WITSML v2.0 Common Technical Architecture, plus data assurance and other improvements.» PRODML v2.0 Common Technical Architecture, plus DAS and PVT functionality and other improvements.» RESQML v2.1 Bug fixes.» Energistics Transfer Protocol (ETP) v1.1 provides additional protocols.» Energistics Industry Profile (EIP) - implements changes in XML implementation of ratified in late Released Q3.» Developing a multi-client pilot to demonstrate the advantages of RESQML for vendor neutral data exchange» Focused on training, webinars and other activities to help drive standards adoption» Planning an updated to the Energistics Units of Measure 2016 Energistics 11

12 Energistics Transfer Protocol (ETP)» ETP is potentially a game-changing technology A key element in the common technical architecture (CTA) Leveraged by all v2.x Energistics XML standards» Enables true real-time data streaming transfers Initial testing suggests an order of magnitude reduction in latency delays» ETP can be used For any kind of data transfer From the field to the office Between applications in the office For any sensor-based M2M application (IIoT) 2016 Energistics 12

22 Notable OMG Activities The Object Management Group (OMG) and its sister organization the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) continue to collaborate on IIoT initiatives IIC works on advocacy, architecture, case studies, testbeds, white papers OMG works on developing open standards OMG members are working on a DDS/OPC-UA Gateway spec Formal liaison status between the OMG and the OPC Foundation DDS = Data Distribution Service (adopted ~2003) Real-time publish-and-subscribe protocol with Quality of Service controls Additional specifications for security and for resource-constrained systems The gateway spec will facilitate consistent integration between the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and SCADA worlds Will allow plug-and-play among a greater number of suppliers The O&G industry, which has typically adopted OPC-UA, will be able to add devices from IoT suppliers that support DDS Schlumberger joined the IIC in March

25 The things we are learning on the way to interoperability (The truth no-one really wants to hear) 25

26 Visibility Data and the Tech Hype Cycle (after Gartner) Peak of Inflated Expectations In most technology projects, data is the red headed step child that has to be created, and tags along with the project as far as is in scope. Since data is not ready to be used in any technology, let alone the new, cool, kid on the block, the project will likely fail. Some data might have been prepared but usually ends up on the garbage heap along with the discarded technology. Plateau of Productivity Data Technology Trigger Maturity Data ends up here

27 If Data and Information are Strategic Assets Strategic Approach Vision Long Term Corp Plan Executive support ($) Corporate Resources Pinning your hopes for data management on a software project is unlikely to succeed! Software management is tactical! Tactical Approach Stakeholders Project plan Build a product Corporate execution Data survives software Corporate Data Stewardship is Strategic! Maintain the product Decommission the product and data

28 The SLC Roadmap Tactical: Provide real benefits as soon as possible Understand SLC organizations Identify Intersections Identify Opportunities Tactical projects Strategic: End - end standards based business support Business driven Gaps and needs Identify Opportunities Strategic projects

29 Match Strength to Strength Data Management Strategy and Execution Data as strategic initiative Executive ownership V or C level Data governance PPP Data stewardship Ownership Data strategies Plan Data management Execute Harmonized data and technology strategies Technology Strategy and Execution Corporate strategies Identify opportunities Identify candidate technology Plan technology adoption Execute technology adoption Decommission technology Copyright 2016, PPDM

30 Several Possible Kinds of Tactical Collaboration Can we develop common processes or best practices that help us all do better? Format A Format B Tech Can we provide a pathway for data to flow from this standard to that standard? Process Mine Data New We based Semantics Old Theirs Yours Can we create a vocabulary that we can all agree on?

31 Example Projects: Semantics (Units of Measure) New Mine We based Semantics Yours Old Theirs SEG PCA PPDM Units of Measure 100 s of standards Energistics Everyone uses Units of Measure. Let s try to create one shared set of values. Can we agree to use the same terms with the same meaning? Feet Ft ft. ft If we really expect to see data flow between standards or even systems, differences like this quickly become non-trivial barriers! F f foot

32 What We Did: Units of Measure New Mine We based Semantics Yours Old Theirs Establish agreement Socialize the idea Work collectively Energistics PPDM SEG PCA came on board later Discussed with most SLC leaders What would it take for your organization to adopt a collective UOM set?? Energistics SME took the lead PPDM experts asked to satisfy themselves that the revised set would work - Harry Shultz (Log Units) - Geochem experts (apothecary units) What did we learn?

33 What We Learned About Units of Measure New Mine We based Semantics Yours Standards are like toothbrushes UOM are complicated and a bit emotional Expertise not common Not everyone sees this as a problem Every SLC organization needs units and has developed their own Only PIDX appears to use a global standard (United Nations) It s hard to give up a standard you know works for another that might not work To be honest, the new standard is a bit complicated. But it is very robust! Few people understand units of measure There are a lot of complexities that can trick the unwary Interest in getting it done was very high Time and effort required discouraged many from continuing to the finish line We learned that units of measure is not simply a list of values. It encompasses things you must know and do as well. We learned that we need to make units of measure consistent for data to be interoperable. We learned that training is essential to success. Theirs We learned that SLC organizations are driven by needs that may transcend the need for interoperability. Old

34 What Happened to the Units of Measure New Mine We based Semantics Yours Old Theirs Industry Adoption Adopted by Energistics Adopted by PPDM Adopted by PCA (for inclusion in ISO standards) Next steps Build the value proposition Train more people to understand units of measure Figure out how to solve this in industry (this is probably a service product) Units of measure are not sexy. They are difficult to fully understand. They can create huge interoperability barriers. In today s economy, how do we express the value proposition for making a fundamental change to how we handle units going forward?

35 Is this the right time for Standards? Barriers Standards process is tooooooo slow Developing them or Adopting them Never the right time When prices are low no budget When prices are high no time Not my Responsibility Leave it to IT or Leave it to others WIFM (lack of a business case) Addicted to legacy solutions and custom integration Solutions Begin with standards, Plan global but act local When you have to rethink how to operate, standards make a lot of sense Everyone needs better data to drive insights Build the business case from the top down Every major change begins with a rethink of how you do work

36 The Business Case for Standards What is the Goal? Interoperability Lower the cost of doing business (dramatically) Internally and along supply chain Improve operation excellence Built upon a Standards Foundation Required Elements Business Processes Asset Lifecycle Conceptual Architecture/Test Bed Loose Integration based on existing standards Adoption Commitment Product Compliance
