Smart SystemsThe basic approach of all “smart technology” is measure-model-control

– measure system properties– model actual vs desired behaviour– derive required correction parameters (adaptive control)– implement control

IntOPS SIG• Area of Interest

– the definition, movement, and storage of production operation data, information, and knowledge,

• especially in support of integrated, intelligent, instrumented, etc. operations

• for near well-site and remote operations• in time scales from near real-time to months and years.

– This group is essentially a cross-vendor, cross-product line user community for production operations applications and data storage products and services.

• Players– operators, service and software providers, government

agencies, consultancies, and POSC.

IntOPS SIG

• Meeting attendees thus far include:– Oil companies: BP, ChevronTexaco, ExxonMobil, Hydro,

ONGC, Shell, Statoil– Non-profit: University of Houston, NPD, POSC Caesar– Commercial: Aspen Tech, Baker Hughes, Halliburton,

Invensys, National Oilwell, Sense Intellifield, Merrick, Schlumberger

IntOPS SIG• History

– Formed in early ‘03– Initial SIG meetings held in Houston and London– Meetings in ’04 in Houston and Stavanger– Association with and now participation in the Integrated

Information Platform (IIP) project in Norway• Statoil, Hydro, DNV, National Oilwell, POSC Caesar, FMC

– Distributed Temperature Survey Data Transfer Standard Project• Proposed by BP after initial work with BakerHughes• Validated for level of interest• Formed in Q3 and Q4• First phase due to be completed by end of 05 Q1.

IntOPS SIG• History

– Sponsored Strategic Decision Sciences’ "Roadmap to Enterprise Optimization" published in September 2004.• POSC members receive a special price for the study and the

SIG can use the results of the study. – Interaction with SPE Realtime Optimization

• We will co-chair the SPE Forum on "Automation, Measurement and Remote Control" to be held in 2005.
