WITSML 1.3 Server

• New server developed to support WITSML v1.3
• Acts as data aggregator and buffer between real
  time acquisition system and WITSML clients
• Stores all defined WITSML objects and custom
  objects
• Can also store associated data (files, pictures
  etc)
• Reads WITS data feeds converts to WITSML
  ltrealtimegt
• Handles user group data access permissions
• Users able to access data in different units
• Scaleable from individual wellsite systems to

Challenges for WITSML

• QA/QC Real-time data
• Need to ensure quality of data for RT decisions
  without interrupting real time data flow
• Well position data - compare real time to plan
  geological model
• Proprietary data sets
• Everyone has them (well test, images, NMR data)
• How do we incorporate these into WITSML
  workflows?
• Issues with legacy processes
• Operator specific reports, custom data formats
• WITSML adoption
• Many applications yet to be migrated
• Time based data - issues with time zones
• Different data access strategies (polling,
  subscription) for realtime and historical data

Summary

• WITSML is
• Driving work process improvements now
• Generating value today
• Enabling interoperation between data providers
  and software vendors
• Enabling fair competition between real time
  service providers
• A key part of BEACON operations at Baker Hughes
