Projects

Intelligent Data Sets Project 3 year project ending December with a total budget of 2.7 mill USD –Funded by Research Council of Norway (NRC) and participants Participants –Operator –Solution Providers –Consultants –Associations Collaborating associations and projects –Accelerating Deployment of ISO (ADI) and FIATECH (US initiatives)

Intelligent Data Sets Project Objective The objective of the project is to –Develop a methodology for mapping existing proprietary data representations to/from an ISO representation to support data exchange and integration using “Intelligent Data Sets” –This provides data separated from presentations, which again allows assembly of data in new formats targeted at new work processes –To study how this support new collaborative work processes within and between organizations is a research topic at the UiS. One neutral, extendable description, supporting multiple views across phases and applications Many different, view dependant descriptions - business - company - phase (lifecycle) - application (DS/2D/3D) - etc

Examples Of Inconsistent Representations

Daily Challenges For Data Sheet Mapping In order to resolve this, a neutral, system independent representation that can map to any proprietary representation is required.

IDS Intelligent Data Sets Support mapping and exchange between proprietary data sheet formats using templates and RDL RDL/ontology development for Oil & Gas Template development –Generic basic templates –Assembly into molecular templates –Represent complex data sheets using templates Template application –Implement template definitions as instantiation scripts in (e.g.) SWRL –Rules generate rich structures for standardized storage –Common representation of data supports exchange –Validation and quality checks on data

Need a neutral representation, independent of –Application –System –Lifecycle stage An integration model –Conceptual model Needed to be concerned with “what things are” as opposed to their representation –Need for semantics How things are related –Need for a rich ontology Lessons Learned From Developing ISO (I)

The obvious choice for us was set theory and first order logic (FOL) –All specifications used in the industry are by nature about class membership –Developing a specification is adding constraints, i.e. defining subclasses Later we ran into the problem “What is information about a class member as opposed to information about the class itself?” Led to the identification of the need for Second Order Classes –The classes had to be dealt with as object –We have later discovered that we also have Third Order Classes –Will probably later need even higher level classes Note that this is observations discovered from industrial needs. We were introduced to OWL in 2003, and decided to test this to see if this was the way forward We ran into lengthy discussions of OWL Full vs. DL –The current state of development indicates both, Full to support lifecycle data, DL for reasoning. POSC Caesar, which is a Norwegian based industry association, and one of the organisations behind ISO has become W3C member, and is participating in the establishment of a W3C O&G Incubator Group. Lessons Learned From Developing ISO (II)

Most systems used in the industry are “proprietary” systems and will probably be in use for a long time to come They all use their internal representations, and will continue to do so Systems can be interfaced, but at a considerable cost. Resource restrictions. They have to be interfaced to new systems whenever project participants change If an ontology is not interfaced to existing systems it will only be useful for new developments, systems etc., not for use with existing systems Tool support to map between standardised and proprietary representations. Templates (ISO ) and IDS tools are means to achieve this An ontology will never be completed, a system must be in place to handle extensions Capability to handle lifecycle data Reasoning over data quality Interfacing the ISO ontology to existing systems and setting up a system to handle extensions is what the IDS project is about Lessons Learned From Developing ISO (III)

Integrated Operations in the High North Project Outline May 2008

Main Objectives The primary objective of the project is to develop:  A demonstrated reliable digital platform for Integrated Operation Generation 2 (IO G2) in the High North  IO G2 pilots within drilling, R&P, O&M in the High North  Decision Support for drilling, R&P, O&M IO G2 for the High North shall facilitate operations in remote and hazardous conditions, the use of limited operational personnel and “zero footprint” solutions

Project Architecture – Technical view Business processes Digital platform Unmanned Drilling rig Improved production Sub-ice operation Semantic oil and gas platform and information assurance Networks, infrastructure and web services Autonomous and failsafe subsea control systems Risk management for reliable information & IT Activity 1 Activity 2 Activity 3 Activity 4 Activity 5Activity 6Activity 7

Semantic Oil & Gas Platform Objectives: To extend and improve the content and quality of the ISO based oil and gas ontology To develop a prototype information validation service
