1 THE JOURNEY TO CREATE A NEW DATA STANDARD, PRODML - DAS, WITH ENERGISTICS Presented November 8, 2016 by: Richard Tummers Innovation PM This talk was inspired by Corine Jansonius, Wilfred Berlang, the musings of Floy Baird, and a Lightning Talk by Chuck Smith. DAS Image Source: SPE Showing Depth vs Time, and additional data. 1

2 Agenda & Goals 1. Introduction: Understand Energistics member companies and roles. Be familiar with this standards development project charter, and the resulting PRODML DAS standard. 2. BC - Before Charter: Understand the technology innovations that occurred prior to starting standards development in Understand the time to maturity needed to identify the requirements that would justify a new standard. 3. The Project: Be familiar with the project team, schedule, and plan. Understand some of the lessons learned by this project team. 4. The importance of data standards: Be familiar with some correlations between innovation, data standards, and business value. 2

3 Introduction The role of members in the Energistics Consortium. The project charter. A brief description of the PRODML DAS standard. The full version is at: 1 (~15 Minutes) 3

4 What is Energistics? Energistics is a global, non-profit, membership consortium that facilitates the development and adoption of technical open data exchange standards in the upstream oil and gas industry. Membership consists of integrated oil & gas companies, IOCs, NOCs, oilfield service companies, software vendors, system integrators, regulatory agencies and the global standards user community. Standards are developed by workgroups (known as Special Interest Groups, or SIGs) made up of industry experts. In short, the standards are created by the industry for the industry Energistics 4

7 Describing DAS data To exchange a DAS dataset using PRODML, the following is required: XML Optical Path: fiber installation components and connections DAS Instrument Box: model, vendor, firmware, etc DAS Acquisition: Acquisition meta-data: job, spatial sampling along the fiber, output rate of the system data Calibration/Mapping: mapping of spatial samples along fiber to physical location (x,y,z) HDF5 Datasets: types, sampling along fiber, time-sampling Raw: spatial samples (loci, channels) along the fiber for all sampled times (time-samples) Data Array: Loci x Sample Times (L x N 1 ) Times-Array: Sample Times (1xN 1 ) Spectrum/FFT: spatial samples along fiber for all time-windows with transform (FFT) was calculated Data Array: Loci x FFT-size x TimeWindows (L x M x N 2 ) Times-Array: Sample Times (1xN 2 ) FBE: spatial samples along fiber for all frequency bands for all time-windows for which extracted Data Array: Loci x FrequencyBands x TimeWindows (L x B x N 3 ) Times-Array: Sample Times (1xN 3 ) 7

Since DAS began in 2009, the industry has had extensive organizational reductions and adjustments in both IT and the business. Data Source: 17

18 Distributed Temperature Sensing: The 1 st Quarter Century First Deployments Early 1990 s proved feasibility and value from GigaBytes of data. Promote the technology Industry Primer on DTS released (2003). Rupert Sutherland, GNS Science and Victoria University of Wellington Develop industry exchange standard POSC defines WITSML standard (2005). Innovate, Deploy, and Improve: Major applications for Injection and Flow. PRODML evolves (2014 v1.3, 2016 v2.0). Commercial Cloud databases (2015). 18

19 TeraBytes of DAS Hydraulic Fracturing Data: 1. Started with a high value, relatively simple use case. 2. Designed proprietary tools and workflows to harvest value. 3. De-risked major business and IT aspects of the technology. 4. Co-visualized and analyzed hundreds of TeraBytes of raw data. 5. Learned and published lessons.

20 Terabytes of Flow Data: By 2014, advanced analytics enabled quantitative flow calculations using DAS data transmitted via cell phone. Stage 4 is poor traffic light of flow over depth and time. Stage 3 is good Stage 2 is best Source: Hans den Boer, Peter Panhuis, Andre Franzen, Wilfred Berlang, et al. 20

24 Lessons Learned 1. Level the workload of your volunteer resources. The DAS SIG was formed more easily because the DTS SIG was disbanding at that time. 2. Leverage global strengths in your team. 3. Leverage existing standards (DTS, SEGY, HDF, XML, LAS, CSV, etc.). Don t re-invent binary or ASCII DTS standards were so robust and useful, that they were able to evolve from POSC WITSML to Energistics PRODML. 5. Don t assume old standards are fully mature. 6. Champions are required for major revisions, such as PRODML v Manage multiple time frames (sometimes hours, sometimes years). 8. Economics affects standards development, since maturity is built by business applications. 9. Engage with the business opportunity early And stay engaged through the cycle of innovation. 10. Adoption of standards can be driven by contracts. 24

26 Think of Standards Like Sheet Music Standards allow companies to play together easily - sharing data, eliminating wasted time, reducing cost and complexity 2016 Energistics 26

27 The Value of Energistics Standards Standards deliver cost savings for companies and the whole industry. Data can be exchanged seamlessly between users, partners, service companies, operators & regulators. Better data quality leads to better business productivity. Standards eliminate time lost resolving data quality issues related to incompatible formats and manual entry. Standards allow legacy data to be re-used and re-analyzed using more recent tools and models. Standards ensure that trusted and accurate information is available for a rapid response to any safety incident Energistics 27

28 A Compelling Business Case Standards save time, increase efficiency, reduce lost time, reduce complexity and potentially help save lives. Energistics standards reduce costs for individual companies and for the industry as a whole. The ROI is clear and compelling Energistics 28
