Future Consideration for WITSML from Total

1
Future Consideration for WITSML from Total

• Products should migrate to the same version of
  WITSML
• Need provisions for backup in case of system
  failure
• Office support should extend to 24/7 operations
• Global data identification needed
• Increased requirements for security
• Newly enabled in-house software developments
  possible
• Focus on the content rather than the container
• Focus on understanding the data and actions being
  processed

Future Considerations for WITSML from StatoilHydro

• Real-time communications systems can be a
  challenge in some parts of the world
• More software application products must be
  real-time enabled
• Determine what is right data and what is its
  right time
• Improving consistency in WITSML usage among
  processes and products
• WITSML SIG is beginning to define use case
  profiles
• Determine how much human supervision and quality
  control should remain after automation
• Determine how to handle increased volume from new
  technologies wired pipe, well seismic, etc.

What are WITSML Benefits for Shell?

• Moves Data
• Effortlessly
• Efficiently
• Securely
• Preserving Vendor Neutrality
• Enables real-time data flows
• Supports well planning and design
• Relevant data from any system, internal or
  external
• Compare proposal with historical results
• Easy data exchange among well engineering
  applications
• Collaboration among geologists, geophysicists,
  petrophysicists, reservoir engineers, well
  engineers, and real time application engineers

What are WITSML Benefits for Shell?

• Combining expertise leads to optimal well
  delivery
• Staff on the rig - Wellsite engineer, Wellsite
  geologist, Drilling supervisor, Mudlogger,
  Directional driller etc. can easily share data
  and have more time to focus on the job
• Technical specialists from theoffice can be
  intimately involvedin the execution of the
  well,they are fed information from all parties
  on the rig, and provide advice or intervene when
  needed
• Reduction of personnel on the rigcan be achieved
  thus decreasing safety exposure and costs

6
What are WITSML Benefits for Shell?

• Improved partner reporting
• Timely, high quality exchange of data without
  restriction on how that data is used or
  interpreted
• Partner can interpret the data independently
• Can include daily operations reports, mudlog
  reports, casing reports etc.

Summary and Recommendations

• WITSML is ready to deliver value for you today.
• Embed WITSML as part of your real-time data
  architecture
• Use WITSML to get the right data to the right
  person
• Real-time validation and optimization to improve
  drilling performance
• Improve reporting quality with less effort
• Demonstrate value from WITSML usage and expand
  scope of use
