Value of WITSML Resource exploitation • Optimise well placement • As drilled vs plan • Maximise reservoir exposure • Access to onshore experts e.g Geosteering, Wellbore Stability • Reservoir characterisation while drilling • Latest LWD measurements in Real Time Cost Reduction • Reduce decision cycle time • Rig time savings • Assist with operator team working environments • Drilling/Geology/Petrophysics • Reduce data handling • Less errors and faster data transfer
BEACON Organisation • Running in Norway since 2000 • Reducing workforce at the wellsite • New roles and responsibilities defined • ARTE – Advantage Real Time Engineer • Cross-trained MWD/SLS engineer responsible for: • All data acquistion at the well site. • Benefits • eliminate requirement for remote controlled acquistion equipment • reduce dependency on fibre optic network infrastructure leading to a wider global applicability • BEACON Engineer • Shore based position responsible for all post acquistion data manipulation, report generation and FE deliverable preparation. Provide FE support for latest FE tools such as: • Image logs derived whilst drilling, pressure testing while drilling, azimuthal measurements while drilling. • Providing wireline replacement in a real time environment. • Aim is to develop greater FE competency and work more closely with client petrotechnical staff onshore
BEACON • BEACON uses Internal and 3rd party software • WITSML enables data interchange with 3rd party applications for: • Wellbore stability • Directional Well planning • Geological modelling • Petrophysics

Challenges for WITSML • QA/QC Real-time data • Need to ensure quality data as basis for RT decisions without interrupting real time data flow • Proprietary data sets • Everyone has them (well test, images, NMR data) • Relinquish legacy processes • Operator specific reports, custom data formats • WITSML enablement • Many end user programs yet to be migrated • Multiple usages • Time based data • Different data access strategies (polling, subscription) for realt ime and historical data
WITSML 1.3 Server • Supports all WITSML objects – built from WITSML schemas • Supports Baker Hughes internal data structures • Filters/buffers data from real time system • Enables browsing and editing all data items • Handles user accounts w/access permissions • Supports user specified units • Can also associate arbitrary file data w/objects
Summary WITSML is • Driving work process improvements now • Generating value today • Enabling interoperation between data providers and software vendors • Enabling fair competition between data providers • Assisting the transition to Integrated Operations • A key part of BEACON operations in Norway
