NDR 9 – Breakout session 1

Goal of session

• To see if there is any real enthusiasm for governments to cooperate on standards

If there is :

• Establish a small working group • Pick something simple to prototype

Hole size Hole size in inches

Drilled depth Measured depth to well datum of bottom of hole interval

Casing size Outside diameter of casing in inches

Casing MD Measured depth relative to well datum down to which casing applies

Casing Show depth flag

Y if casing MD refers to show depthN if casing MD refers to diameter cross-over point

WITSML Special Interest Group Members

What am I proposing

• Choose an appropriate SIMPLE data set we all collect as a trial– What do we ask for and what do we do with it– What causes problems: meta data, reference data

• Agree definitions• Define an exchange format based on WITSML• Work with oil companies to test

• Review and decide next step

Goals

• To see if there is any real enthusiasm for governments to cooperate on standards

• Decide whether the Energistics SIG format is a suitable one to work within

• Move to electronic working

Benefits

• Improve efficiency– Data entry by oil companies– Reduce data errors– STOP COLLECTING PAPER

• Improve data release• Share costs • Get up and running quicker by following

early adopters

How would we do it

• Set up Energistics SIG• All communication via the web
