My definition of Real Time?
Just in time to influence a currently ongoing
process.

Whats a Real Time Center (RTC)?

• Physical facility that enables the real-time
  collaboration to model, measure and optimize
  assets.
• Being there no longer means having to be there
• A key enabler of the Digital Asset
• Collaboration for real-time decision making with
  right-time data
• Located away from the well-site

4
Whats Real Time Operations (RTO)?

• Continuously moving data from the well site to
  remotely model, measure and optimize the asset.
• Can be performed in an RTC or without one through
  real-time apps
• Infrastructure for data flow and IT

5
Whats a Remote Operations Center (ROC)?

• Internal RTC built by Halliburton used to deliver
  superior service quality and operational
  excellence.
• Can support one or more PSLs
• Is branded as Halliburton ROC
• All PSLs use ROC as the name for their internal
  RTCs

Digital Asset Components
More efficient, effective business
processes
Application Interoperability,
Cross-Disciplinary Workflows
Domain-Specific Tools, Applications,
Technologies
Data Management, Networking and
Infrastructure

State of Real Time Services

• Basic infrastructures are well understood today
• Basic frameworks not readily in place in most
  operations

• Standards are maturing
• WITSML
• PRODML
• Webservices
• Interoperability improving

Future of Real Time Services

• Less reliant on internal data structures
• Focus will shift from infrastructure to answers
• Service companies internally will drive
  technology available for the Operators

9
Future of Real Time Services

• Service cos already see business cases to allow
  them to deploy Real Time Centers for their own
  use
• More remote control .. More remoter control
• Currently lot of services are still provided
  onshore close to the operations base, in the
  future this will be more centralized

Halliburton RTC - Sperry ROC (for ARAMCO)
CHALLENGE

• 30 jobs run in ROC by 2010
• Find innovative ways to provide our most
  experience resources on more then one well
• Improve service quality for customer reducing
  Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ)
• Improve safe and effective well delivery from
  start to finish
• Work on more wells with the same resources

SITUATION

• Establish a Halliburton Real Time Center in
  Dhahran, Eastern Province
• Staffed with engineers from all Sperry
  disciplines, DD, LWD, SDL and Petrophysics
• Provide senior support, predictive modeling and
  24/7 monitoring services

RESULTS

• 2007 vs. 2006
• 67 improvement in LWD field human errors
• 15 improvement in tool turn around time
• 40 improvement in time taken for GeoTap testing
• 32 increase in operating time for 2007 against
  2006

Conclusion

• Real Time is here to stay
• It is key to how both operators and service
  companies are doing their business
• We will see more independent real time software
  and service providers
• Operators can pick and choose
• Service companies will develop extremely
  sophisticated integrated systems for their own
  use
• Planning, Operations and Analysis will come
  closer and closer
