Feedback from the ECIM 15-17 September 2008 Haugesund + SLIDE project results
Feedback from the ECIM (E&P Data Management Conference) • 280 participants, of which 75 female (27 % !) • Many representatives from vendors (systems, consultants) • Held in Haugesund, middle size Norwegian town, known from its jazz festival and film festival • 2 Hours travelling from Stavanger, so all attendants were staying 2 nights: Success factor # 1 of the conference because of the social and networking aspects • Venue in the Maritim Hotel, next to the harbour, very quiet • Most DM attendants are (still !) Norwegian • Overall there was a relaxed atmosphere
Feedback from the ECIM • 8 Plenary sessions were held of 30 min., and about 60 papers/workshops of 45 min., 8 at the same time, so you had to make a choice • Demographics (read: aging of staff) will become a problem in the next future, especially for the larger companies • DM organization in the larger companies does not differ much from EPE, but a more important role is being given to DM staff in the assets. However: central role of DM remains! • Focused Seismic Monitoring (FSM): Use of fibre optic in stead of electrical cables are speeding up seismic survey results. The fibre optic cables are buried in the sea bottom, can be used 20 years!
Feedback from the ECIM • Good presentation on the Project Management cycle, by an external party: PM role sometimes underestimated, but at least 15-20% of the total project resource time should be reserved. In case of problems the attention should rather be given to the cause and not to the effects. • My own presentation concentrated on the added value DM can provide to the Business by ascertaining the availability of complete, correct and consistent data. Large audience, some discussion as well, good feedback received. • I suggested to the organization to start inviting a few Subsurface staff, to provide comments, maybe even to make sure we’re on the right path!
The SLIDE project • SLIDE = Scanned Log Image DElivery (by NAM to TNO) • Request from TNO (Sept. 2007) • Successful pilot project in Q4-2007 • Agreement for SLIDE project in Dec. 2007 • Project started in January , finished end June 2008 • Number of wellbores involved: 3328 • Number of images: 46329
