Meeting Objectives

Proposed Meeting Objectives

• Present Draft Geophysical Standards Road Map and
  set the Assessment in that context
• Propose process and plan for Geophysics SIG and
  Assessment
• reference WITSML and PRODML
• Receive additional Standards Opportunities from
  Indian participants
• Obtain good indication of Indian commitment to
  participate in Assessment
• Others???

Geophysics Standards Road Map

Geophysics Standards Road Map

• What is the present situation?
• Who are the active players in Gp standard
  setting, and what are they doing?
• What are the drivers which will determine the
  future of geophysical technologies?
• What are the possible approaches to be taken?

8
Present Situation - 1

• Seismic technologies have evolved enormously over
  the last decades
• Acquisition 3D, 4D, and OBC,
• Processing Pre-stack Depth Migration, Cluster
  computing, ...
• Data transfer specifications being modernised by
  SEG, Canadian SEG, OGP, and others SEG-D 2.0
  3.0
• Interpretation Interpretation Work Stations,
  Visualisation,
• New technologies likely to impact operations in
  near future
• Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, Solid-state
  storage, GPS Lidar (Light Detection and
  Ranging), Wi-Fi (Wireless networking)

9
Drivers for Geophysical Standards

• Expanding Uses of Geophysics
• More Exploration in mature and immature regions
• Applications in Field Development
• Applications in Smart Fields
• Optimising current techniques
• New techniques and technologies
• Increasing Data Volumes to be managed
• Various proprietary solutions already
  proliferating
• All of which want the job done faster, better,
  with reduced cost, risk and uncertainty.

10
Present Situation - 2

• We have a starting list of Opportunities from
  ONGC and other Indian EP Players
• These are from across the entire API
  (Acquisition, Processing, Interpretation) life
  cycle of geophysical data
• Some of these must be refined and used to
• Evolve and test our assessment process
• Promote and sell participation globally, beyond
  India

11
Where do we need to aim?

• It is possible to envisage a spectrum of targets,
  ranging from piecemeal vocabularies for
  (SEG-style) Header or Trailer files, to loose
  coupled work-flow integration, possibly
  web-based.
• It is for the Assessment Work Group to decide
  where in this spectrum we select our target(s)
• Our guiding lights must include
• Providing Real Business Value to users and
  customers of Geophysics
• Establishing and adhering to relevant criteria on
  which to base our selections
• Providing specifications that can evolve to
  accommodate interoperability and technological
  change over at least one decade
• Planning to produce, pilot and test a few initial
  proposals
• Others???

12
Proposed Road Map for 2008

• Energistics Geophysics SIG
• Assessment Work Group gets global support,
  evaluates and proposes for development Short
  (2?) and Long (15?) lists of opportunities
  for 2008 through 2012
• Subsequent Work Group(s) obtain resources,
  produce and test pilot implementation(s)
• Promote success, deploy and show benefit from
  standards
• Seek continuation on Long opportunities and/or
  in directions arising out of 2008 work
• Other Geophysical Standards setting
  organisations
• Maintain awareness of and leverage concurrent
  efforts by SEG, OGP, and others

13
Road Map for 2009 and beyond

• Continue approaches and activities as business
  needs and value determine
• Select 2 or 3 Opportunities for development,
  piloting and deployment each year

14
A Challenge and an Analogy

• Energistics has to evaluate its investment
  opportunities to ensure it gets value from them
• Just as oil companies evaluate acreage and assets
  in exploration, appraisal and development stages,
  in order to preserve existing, and create new
  value
• Success will be the extent to which the
  Geophysical community will support this
  initiative and derive business benefit from using
  our results

Management and Supervision

• Primary Contact is responsible for
• Sustaining Work Group focus on Business Value
• Delegating technical work to appropriate experts
  in that organisation
• Core team work
• Responding to Questionnaire(s)
• Ensuring Assessment Work Group results are
  properly reviewed internally when requested
• Providing funding (where appropriate)

21
Providing and detailing Opportunities

• Initial Lists
• Already from ONGC
• More from others today and forward
• Develop and agree Assessment Criteria and Metrics
• Will we need to produce Guidelines for detailing?
• Detailed Lists Opportunities with Criteria and
  Metrics populated

22
Some Examples of Criteria

• SWOT
• Strengths, Weaknesses
• Opportunities, Threats
• Number of processesaffected
• Kinds of affect
• Inaccuracy, uncertainty, risk, .
• Loss of time, data
• Others.

Caveat

• We have an idea of some starting points
• BUT we do not yet know where the assessment will
  take us
• THEREFORE a degree of Flexibility or Agility will
  be necessary for us to succeed
• Traditional project management techniques may not
  be appropriate to this Assessment Work Group
