GETTING THE WISDOM FROM SUBSURFACE OPERATIONS
We are all happy to share data if we get the right audience
GETTING THE WISDOM FROM SUBSURFACE OPERATIONS
GETTING THE WISDOM FROM SUBSURFACE OPERATIONS
Knowledge Management (KM) is the process of capturing, developing, sharing, and effec;vely using organiza;onal knowledge (Thomas Davenport, 1994)
Prior to Knowledge, comes Data, which has to be treated according to same principles as men;oned above.
To share, an understanding of KM and link to efficiency, cost savings, resource u;liza;on, Health and Environment and to minimize major incidents must be a priority in order to succeed with KM.
GETTING THE WISDOM FROM SUBSURFACE OPERATIONS
Introduc;on and implementa;on of KM within the organiza;on requires:
1. Determine the level of KM effec;veness within the organiza;on and its various players and vendors
2. Iden;fy how KM best method of applying KM within the organiza;on 3. Propose an integrated framework for understanding of the link between KM and HE in
addi;on to resource efficiency, costs and skill profile vs. opera;onal needs.
What does your organisa;on have of KM systems implemented already and how are they implemented and how suitable is the system given your present and future challenges and priori;es/ goals.
You have to define how effec;ve the KM is and determine the best method of sharing the outcome of the KM.

Purpose of KM and requirements
WELL INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (WIMS) ASSIST IN CONSISTENT KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (KMS).
One emerging model WIMS, which align all elements including the business process, handover, data management, and risk management. As a sub-‐set of asset integrity management, WIMS exist both at a documenta;on and so^ware level, and combine key well opera;ng and produc;on data within a framework for decision-‐making, management processes, and organiza;onal structure.
An advanced WIMS can interface to a wide range of third-‐party databases to collate the necessary informa;on for analysis and iden;fica;on of wells shi^ing outside cri;cal safe opera;ng limits, for the assessment of equipment reliability and well risk, and for real-‐;me es;ma;on of various real-‐;me well parameters. Data can also be acquired real-‐;me in the field via mobile PC/phones, entered manually, or via spreadsheet loader, synchronized instantly with the central database to provide not only a comprehensive view, but also a single source of truth that promotes understanding of opera;ng well data across the organiza;on.
Documen;ng ins;tu;onal well integrity management into a so^ware product and working system can have major benefits for an oil and gas company when combined with a robust approach to knowledge management and placed in the hands of trained and experienced personnel. It ensures consistency of data, which is vital for oil and gas companies with opera;ons spread over large areas/ regions or even countries that need to be confident that the right people have access to the right informa;on at the right ;me for rapid, informed, and consistent decision-‐making.
It also ensures consistency in terms of knowledge management and approaches to well integrity. This is essen;al given that large oil and gas firms tend to have a high turnover staff internally, as those tasked with managing well integrity are o^en moved to other posts within the firm a^er a couple of years. With opera;ng well data consolidated within a single user interface, the addi;on of smart func;onality enables operators to analyze the well condi;on automa;cally in real ;me and generate concise reports customized to their individual requirements. This ensures they have the specific ‘tools' needed to sa;sfy local regula;ons, proac;vely iden;fy poten;al problems, and plan test schedules and repairs. They can perform risk evalua;on against complex criteria, for example, assessing tubing condi;on based on varying produc;on condi;ons or calcula;ng Maximum Allowable Annulus Surface Pressure (MAASP) and other cri;cal opera;onal values in real ;me.
WIMS provides decision-‐makers with the intelligence they need to strike the right balance in today's risk-‐averse environment. Making more informed decisions in terms of carrying out maintenance and repairs in a ;mely fashion, based upon a risk ranking strategy that not only ensures safety, but priori;zes resources in an op;mum way to lower the overall risk level that it is carrying. It also makes people more efficient, empowering them with the tools and oversight to iden;fy anomalies before they become incidents. WIMS can help address the human and organiza;onal factors surrounding well integrity, by quickly focusing staff aaen;on on problem areas of an asset, and by providing the ability to manage by excep;on. Given the massive amount of data faced by oil and gas operators today, a system managing by excep;on and automa;cally iden;fying problems, issuing email alerts and risk-‐ranking wells that fail to meet safe opera;onal limits, can make a huge difference.
BUSINESS PROPOSAL FOR WIMS
Crucially, WIMS can ensure that the engineering/safety func;on operates independent of commercial considera;ons, so that design and risk decisions are free from the complexity of mee;ng financial targets. Using WIMS to manage the vast reserves of well integrity data available can help oil and gas firms negate the human and organiza;onal factors that might otherwise prevent them from iden;fying risk areas within the well before they become incidents that erode brand
Iden;cal for most oil and gas projects, one of the big problems come up right away is a lack of any kind of standardiza;on amongst the data. In addi;on users lack of confidence in the data and this is a problem. It also most of the ;mes is not possible to do a complete look-‐back of the full-‐process history for a given well.

Advice which is worth men;oning: • Always consult the user base. They know what they need and how they use the so^ware. • Don’t implement a solu;on that management won’t enforce.
