Background • ExxonMobil implemented an XML schema solution for uniformly transferring fluid property lab reports. • In 2004, ExxonMobil asked POSC to evolve their work into industry standards. • Last autumn, we adapted the XML material within the WITSML architecture

Applying Generalized Lab Test Model to Fluid Properties • Several tests are modelled. • Determine PVT properties, phase curves, sample constituents/ composition. • General sampling context (wellhead, separator tank, completion, etc)
Next Step: Form Work Group • Initial version of schema has been developed • Follows the general lab test pattern • Need subject expert input to ensure that everything is placed correctly • Refine concepts about the tests • Need input for definitions and test understanding • Sample implementations • Positive indications from ExxonMobil to participate and to encourage others to do so • Can lead to review and publication as add-on to WITSML Production Standards
