Project Description• We all have a stake in the North Slope
• Development of North slope resources requires careful planning that includes all stakeholders.
• The North Slope Decision Support System (NSDSS) will provide a common forum for North Slope planning and management.
• The initial NSDSS application centers on environmentally responsible oil and gas exploration.
• This is a 3 year project, funded by the DOE, National Energy Technology Laboratory.

What am I doing here????
• To help define the requirements for the workbench– What are the most important decisions?
– What is the existing process for making those decisions?
– Can the process be improved? How?
– What is the role of technology?
– How can the workbench facilitate the decision-making process?
– How will you use the workbench?

Designing the NSDSS through Usage Scenarios
![Page 12: North Slope Decision Support System First Stakeholder Workshop January 20-21, 2009 Anchorage, Alaska](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649eb35503460f94bbb55c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Overview
• What is a Usage Scenario?
• Using Usage Scenarios to Design the NSDSS
• Usage Scenario #1: Lake Allocation Permitting
• Is the Usage Scenario right?
• Building System Requirements
![Page 13: North Slope Decision Support System First Stakeholder Workshop January 20-21, 2009 Anchorage, Alaska](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649eb35503460f94bbb55c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is a Usage Scenario?• Flow chart of multi-participant process
• Not a software algorithm – a “people algorithm”
• Created before software is considered
• Each usage scenario is focused on a real-world process with specific needs for decision support.
• Multiple Usage Scenarios are supported by the system – many with overlapping requirements.
• Goal is to define a sufficient number of usage scenarios to fully define the requirements for the system.

Using Usage Scenarios to Design the NSDSS• 4 Usage Scenarios identified thus far:
– US#1 – Lake Allocation Permitting– US#2 – Ice Road Planning & Permitting– US#3 – Infrastructure Planning (Project Level)– US#4 – Support for NSB Comprehensive Planning
• Stakeholder participation is crucial to identifying and developing Usage Scenarios to make NSDSS as useful as possible.
• This list can change if the stakeholders want it to.
![Page 23: North Slope Decision Support System First Stakeholder Workshop January 20-21, 2009 Anchorage, Alaska](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649eb35503460f94bbb55c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Usage Scenario #1: Lake Allocation Permitting
• Fresh water withdrawals on North Slope require permits from State (and sometimes BLM)
• Permits written to ensure safe levels of withdrawal from each permitted lake
• Lake locations and permitted withdrawals are necessary inputs to ice road planning
• Role of NSDSS– Streamline existing permitting process– Facilitate water balance analysis– Enable long-term planning
![Page 24: North Slope Decision Support System First Stakeholder Workshop January 20-21, 2009 Anchorage, Alaska](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649eb35503460f94bbb55c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Let’s look at the flow chart…
