StatoilHydro WITSML WHY?

• Integrated Operations
• Faster and better decisions
• Difficult operations

9
BP and WITSML

• Very strong focus on driving the marketplace to
  embrace the enhanced capabilities of WITSML to
  deliver simplicity and data integration
• Develop a truly open environment and architecture
  for data exchange. Share data between BP and
  vendors/service providers, partners and
  regulatory/statutory reporting bodies.
• The right data to the right people in the right
  way
• Real time data to facilitate improved decision
  making
• Operational efficiency through maximised data
  entry automation
• Improved access to our well data

10
BPs WITSML Lessons

• When you actually start to look at some of the
  practices in use today for data movement at the
  rigsite you might just scare the pants off your
  network security folks!...take this as an
  opportunity to secure, improve and prepare for
  the future
• Develop a deep understanding of your long term
  data and integration strategy as well as
  marketplace products before taking any select
  decision
• In a multi vendor data aggregation environment a
  data management service is currently required to
  ensure full and complete data sets are provided
  and maintained to a high quality
• Ensure roles and responsibilities are clearly
  defined and requirements are detailed in
  contractshelp and advice is available from other
  operators in the SIG

BP Benefits of WITSML to the energy company

• Efficiency and Optimisation of Drilling
  Performance
• It is an enabler for collaboration technology
• It encourages inter-operability between different
  rig systems
• The invitation to tender process is simplified
  greatly
• Digital solutions can be deployed globally with
  minimum re-work
• Easy to share best practices and run remote
  operations
• Operational Integrity
• Greater access to operational information
  internally and externally
• New smart tools to aid decision making
• Remote operation is more possible leading to
  fewer personnel on the rig
• Digital technology is going to play a much
  greater role in DC operations in the next few
  years through increasing automation and remote
  operations and our goal is to influence industry
  direction rather than letting it happen to us.

13
BP Benefits of WITSML to the service company

• Efficiency and Optimisation of Drilling
  Performance
• Operational information is accessed readily from
  third parties
• The contract and tendering process is simplified
  greatly
• Easier to integrate smart tools and processes
  from third parties
• Easy to share best practices and run remote
  operations
• Operational Integrity
• Greater access to operational information
  internally and externally
• New smart tools to aid decision making
• Remote operation is more possible leading to
  fewer personnel on the rig
• Operational integrity benefits are identical to
  energy company benefits.

14
BP WITSML will influence all types of
real-time DC information

15
BPs Conclusions

• WITSML will bring benefits to all so lets not
  delay adoption
• The energy companies control the pace of adoption
• Greater WITSML compliance will appear as demand
  grows
• WITSML communications will promote discipline
  health but there may be a period of uncertainty
  initially

16
Shell Drilling in the Digital Oilfield

• Technical experts in short supply
• Need for better leveraging of global expertise
• Well complexity increasing
• Multi-discipline need for better technology
  application and interaction
• Big Crew Change
• Need for knowledge transfer / retention
• Globally dispersed operations
• Need for best practice sharing and effective
  collaboration tools

Shell Industry standards are key

• Importance for Shell
• Technology deployment is joint effort
• Rapid and transparent data exchange is key for
  sound decision making
• Common language for operators, service companies,
  and vendors is needed
• Industry standards improve internal efficiency
  and external collaboration

19
Shells Expectations from WITSML

• Unambiguous and working standard embedded in all
  data solutions
• Accelerated adoption of standard by all industry
  players - Example
• Delivers benefits for fast and simple data
  connectivity
• Enables more valuable data interpretation and
  mining
• Grows in footprint to cover all drilling, well
  test, completion, and well service activities

Kongsberg WITSML on the Rig Site
Rig Site
Company

• Single entry point for real-time management of
  all data generated on the rig
• Data delivery system
• Local buffer
• Redundancy
• Highly Secure data access
• Applications can access real-time data from any
  location
• Data entry for reporting packages can be
  automated.
• Rigsite vendors have access to real-time data
• Must allow numerous simultaneous WITSML queries
  every second
• Allows Oil Company to take ownership of the RAW
  data immediately. (Before massaging)
• Single link to shore
• Plug and Play

Paradigm Value and benefits of WITSML

• Integration
• Past
• Integration through single service provider
• Did not allow for best in class technology
• Remote monitoring difficult
• Present
• WITSML allows for integration and best in class
  technology
• Remote monitoring with best in class technology
  is not only possible but should now be essential

24
Paradigm How do we get there?

• Real World use of WITSML is happening now
• Operators must change their mindset on the value
  and benefits of remote operations
• - Does not require a multi-million dollar
  visualization center
• We must protect our people as strongly as we
  protect our data
• - Often remote monitoring is refused due to data
  security issues
• The reality of the world we live in both
  controllable and uncontrollable must be
  considered in the decision process

25
Paradigm Conclusions

• Remote monitoring and analysis of wells is a
  reality
• Made possible and cost effective by WITSML
• Remote monitoring can help us mitigate risks
• Economic
• Political
• Safety
