WITSML Deployment in BP Dr Julian Pickering IT Programme Manager Drilling & Completions
WITSML plus a standard architecture will deliver optimum value and accelerate deployment • Time efficient • Reduce cost • Provide a platform for hybrid technology • Encourage collaboration • Make better use of skilled resources • Simplify contracts

Real-time architecture using service company facility (WITSML)
WITSML inter-operability testing • The WITSML SIG is introducing compliance testing of WITSML products but we expect this to take a little while for adoption. • Inter-operability between different software solutions is a major attraction of WITSML. This has caused us some problems in existing deployments. • As an interim measure, BP is conducting its own inter-operability testing in a dedicated WITSML laboratory hosted for us by SAIC in Aberdeen. We are inviting our principal vendors to submit products for inter-operability testing prior to deployment. • The WITSML laboratory will be used also as a diagnostic environment during operations. • The first activities of the WITSML laboratory will be to support UK North Sea and Gulf of Mexico operations.

Conclusions • A standard WITSML architecture brings new challenges and opportunities • It will simplify the award of contracts • It is an enabler for remote working and automation • It will encourage the adoption of hybrid solutions • It will speed up the deployment of standard applications • We are looking for continuous improvements in HSSE and efficiency • We need to address the “big crew change”
