Master Well Index

• We will initially populate the MWI with all of the IHS Energy wells in the Canadian, US, and International databases; these will be flagged as proprietary.

• Over time, we will add to this data on new and unique wells provided to us by customers; these will be flagged as public.

• New and unique wells added through IHS Energy research and accumulation processes will continue to be flagged as proprietary.


Current IHS ServicePOSC SIG June 2006

For our customers:• We will deliver the full MWI for the regions that they

subscribe to.• We will deliver records flagged as public for the

areas that they don’t subscribe to.• The proprietary content of the MWI will remain the

property of IHS Energy covered by existing data contracts.

For non-customers:• We will make the records flagged as public available


Current IHS Service


Agenda









Well Identity Service Agreement

• The Well Identity Service will be provided by IHS under contractual agreement with POSC (on behalf of the E&P industry)

• The agreement will include the definition of services, service levels, terms and fees

– Registration of new wells and issue of GUWI

– Matching of existing well and assignment of GUWI

– Provision of public well data set

– ...Details of services and service levels to be defined by the WIS Work Group

Business Case Template for Support of Global Unique Well

Identifier Use by Operators

Work-in-Progressby

Mark Stehm, ExxonMobilKris Gibbons, Shell


Sample Template Business Case

• Some companies, maybe all, will want a business case documented for the use of the industry standard GUWIs in their database(s) and business transactions

• The purpose of this template is to help get started on that business case document

• You can use as much or as little of it as you need

• The final document will be available at www.posc.org


Business Case For Participation in

Global Unique Well Identifier Program

Introduction The Petrotechnical Open Standards Consortium (POSC) is sponsoring an

effort by IHS Energy to implement a Global Unique Well Identifier (GUWI) service. The purpose of this identifier is to provide a single source for a unique code that can be used by all operators, service companies and data providers to tag their information for delivery to a customer. Having a unique identifier that can be used by anyone accessing data will facilitate matching data from multiple sources and reduce the likelihood of errors thus improving performance and data quality.

Introduction

• POSC ~ IHS ~ GUWI ~ Services• Purpose of “Identifier”

– Single source for a unique code that can be used by all operators, service companies and data providers to tag information for delivery to a customer.

– This will facilitate matching data from multiple sources

– This will reduce the likelihood of errors improved performance and data quality


Table of Contents

• Background• Process• Investment• Risks• Benefits• Appendix: Data Elements


Background

• Problem– ~ 4 million oil and gas wells, world-wide.– Status: from very old P&A through active

producers / injectors to currently drilling wells.– Regulatory agencies assign well id/names.– Id/names change due to

• Sales

• Unitization

• Life cycle changes

• Etc.


Background

• Problem (continued)– Difficult to merge well data– Difficult to merge or compare data from multiple

sources– DM staff and geoscientists & engineers must

perform matching process to make use of data– Matching can occur multiple times over the life of a

well– The challenge of matching may prevent the most

current data from being loaded and made available

– Manual matching wastes time and money


Background

• Solution– Single identifier– Assigned in a consistent manner– By one service – For every well in existence

• Condition of Success– Use of the GUWI must become wide-spread to achieve

automated matching of well data from multiple sources.

• Result– More efficient and consistent transfers within the operator’s

organization, with partners, with service companies, with regulators.


Process• Current Wells

– Operator is responsible for the well data• Knows the quality of the data

– Operator provides mandatory data element values to the Registration Service

– Registration Service assigns GUWI and provides GUWI to Operator. Data stored in Public Well Index file, available to industry

– TIGHT WELL PROVISION. Operator may declare well as ‘tight’ up to a designated date.

– NON-PUBLIC PROVISION. Operator need not declare well data “public.” Any data element values given to Service Provided kept as proprietary.


Process

• Legacy Data– For older wells, any industry company may send data

element values to Matching Service.• Match OK. Existing GUWI returned.

• Match Not-OK. Operator may use Registration Service …

– If Operator sends data for matching, data element values may be added to Public Well Index.

– NON PUBLIC PROVISION. Operator need not declare well data “public.” Any data element values given to Service Provided kept as proprietary.

– TRANSPARENCY. Matching Service Provider will not retain data element values used only for matching purposes.


Investment

• Cash Costs– Retail use of Services

• No fees if within usage limits (to be defined)• May be fees if bundled with value-added competitive services,

e.g. subscription services

– Payments to Service Provider to offset cost of delivering industry Standards-related Services

• Managing Public Well Index• Registration Service• Matching Service

– Funding• From WIS Work Group Sponsor Members• Separate from POSC dues and SIG fees


Investment

• Manpower– Cost of initial implementation– Software to retrieve Operator data to be sent to

Service Provider for Registration &/or Matching• Initial format is a spreadsheet

• Task time: few days including exception handling

– Ongoing cost to interact with Service Provider– Summary

• Few days programming and data management (once)

• Monitoring on an ongoing basis


Risks

• Release of Information– Must avoid pre-mature release of information.– Options:

• Do not register• Do not provide data element values to Service Provider (as

Public Data or otherwise)• Declare well to be ‘TIGHT’ for a period of time

• Government Data Release Rules– Restricted countries – Automatic release after “x” time countries


Benefits

• Overview– Operators use data from many sources for

prospecting and surveillance.– Manual involvement in matching data is time

consuming and costly, regardless of which type of employee does the work

– Time delays in matching processes can have negative impact of performance


Benefits

• Actual Savings– Example.

• Consider 200 project data stores containing 100,000 wells.• One data vendor provides updates weekly.

– 5% matches need manual reconciliation– 5 minutes each

• Intervention cost = 400+ man-hours per week or 10+ full-time employees.

– Example.• [Look for other examples that impact positive results rather

than cost savings.]


Appendix: Data Elements

• WELLBORE ATTRIBUTES– Mandatory

• ID

• Name

• Parent Id (if not “root” wellbore)

• Local or regulatory ID/Names

• Country

• Surface and bottom-hole LAT/LONG (WGS84, original)



• Optional– Status– Content– Spud Date/Kick-off Date– TD– Indicator: Onshore/Offshore– Offshore Block– Field



• Registration Data– Company– Contact (Name, Address, etc.)– Access Restrictions

• Made Public (…)

• Made Tight (…)

– Date Registered– Status (active, superseded by …)– Modification (by, date)


Final business case document will be posted on POSC website:

Next Steps

• Core team to engage prospective members• Formal establishment of the Work Group• Continue drafting of WIS service agreement,

especially: • POSC-IHS agree WIS service agreement• Continue routine WIS WG / Service Provider

Conference Calls


Next Steps

• Core team to engage prospective members– POSC to promote activity (website + Data Mgt.

SIG Nov 7)– Template business case to be available in by

middle of November


Next Steps

• Formal establishment of the Work Group– Requires agreements from at least four

sponsoring members– Election of WIS Work Group Chair for 2007


Next Steps

• Continue drafting of WIS service agreement, especially: – Detailed service definitions, including data

elements– Service performance criteria– Service reimbursement policies and procedures


Next Steps

• POSC-IHS agree on the WIS service agreement for the primary service provider– Target: year-end– Can be followed by agreements with secondary

service providers• Act as agents for their own customers with IHS


Next Steps

• Continue routine WIS WG / Service Provider Conference Calls– October 30– November 15
