A bit of history

• Active Member of WITSML SIG since 2003
• First WITSML application developed in conjunction
  with Statoil in 2003
• Worked with ONGC and Sperry-Sun to complete one
  of the first commercial uses of WITSML 1.2

Where we are today

• WITSML standard utilised with Application
  infrastructure
• Applications able to import and export some
  WITSML data types
• Real-time data delivered directly into epos with
  OpsLink
• Deploying additional real-time applications
• Real-time geosteering
• Real-time petrophysical analysis

Where we are going

• WITSML 1.3.1 support (Q1 2007)
• Support for more WITSML objects, including
• mudLog
• bhaRun
• Centralised Real time Subscription Management
• Integration of Real time Data into Engineering
  applications

12
The future

• WITSML to become the rule not the exception
• Data volumes will increase significantly
• More and more processes will become automated
• Technological developments will increase the data
  footprint required
• Centralised control and monitoring of operations
  will be achieved

13
Conclusions

• Paradigm remains committed to the development of
  the WITSML and allied standards
• Will continue to play an active role in the
  WITSML SIG
• Software solutions will evolve to ensure that
  Real Time data is available across all our work
