Energistics Standards Summit Conference Proceedings 2007 - Houston
The Data Room, Nov 2007
Energistics Standards Summit Conference Proceedings - Houston: November 2007
About 100 attended Energistics’ (formerly POSC) second ‘Standards Summit’ in Houston. The standards body has seen significant (44%) growth this year and now finalizing its post-rebrand reorganization prior to ‘completing the mission’ in 2008. The meeting focused on Energistics’ flagship WITSML and PRODML standards. While WITSML has not displaced WITS on the rig, it is seeing take-up as a data aggregator with support from Schlumberger’s InterAct communications service. BP gives strong backing to WITSML, comparing the standard’s situation with that of the process control industry’s OPC protocol a decade ago. PRODML started after WITSML, but fast track development anticipates ‘enterprise scope’ for 2008. Rick Morneau called for WITSML – PRODML harmonization with a ‘single ML for oil and gas.’ The global unique well identifier project crawls along towards completion – in the form of a ‘well identity service’ to be managed by IHS. Finally, a joint proposal from ONGC and Energistics to initiate a study of seismic work practices – including processing parameters with a view to an XML-based update of SEG tape standards.
Abstract
TW0717_1 Introduction – Randy Clark, Energistics
Randy Clark described 2007 as a year of reorganization and growth1 (44%) – with a new name, new strategy and greater geographical diversification. Mark Greene (Accenture) has joined the board. For 2008 the aim is to ‘complete the mission,’ and to develop an ‘end to end’ methodology for standards collaboration and corporate deployment.

TW0717_2.1 BP’s committment to WITSML – Julian Pickering, BP
Pickering described the need to make WITSML more attractive and to leverage the drilling information standard to optimize drilling performance. The aging drilling population means the ‘big crew change’ is getting very close. This looming problem can be mitigated by the deployment of digital solutions that minimize re-work. A decade or so back, OPC was in a similar position to WITSML today. There was a concern that it would:
1 Energistics currently has 90 members made up of 44 sustaining, 18 associate and 28 contributing (SIG members). In the main, ‘sustaining’ category, there are five majors (BP, Shell, Total, Chevron and ExxonMobil) and one NOC (ONGC). In the same category, there is only one independent/small oil co (Pioneer) so this sector is hugely under represented. The picture is much better for service companies. Statoil and ConocoPhillips take part through the ‘contributing’ SIG category.
