Talk Description
From experience of working with several major oil and gas companies, Digital Oilfield Solutions has observed that many have adopted similar design principles to deliver core functionality in the Digital Oilfield. However, the technology is evolving continuously and greater demands are being made on data storage, network speed, security and accessibility. This talk will review what is in place now and look at future design requirements in the next five years to satisfy the increasing performance demands |

Talk Description
The industry has realized significant value creation, operational efficiencies and leverage of organizational capabilities through new workflows and business models enabled by digital oil field solutions. These solutions are often developed by combining the innovation and workflow knowledge of personnel responsible for reservoir management and production operations with emerging information technologies and architectural patterns.
Enterprises that demonstrate the ability to recognize, pilot and systematically adopt new solutions architectures across a wider portfolio of producing assets stand to differentiate their performance through improved production efficiency, reliability and consistent assessment and management of process risk. In this discussion, Mr. Green will describe the architectural attributes, practices and organizational capabilities required to enable the timely adoption of solutions from one operating asset to another. |

Talk Description
The UK government, together with a number of other oil provinces such as Norway, have been using the emerging web services technology to deliver real benefits in the way that their oil provinces can be exploited. Web technology improves communication and delivers efficiency benefits but a major leap forward in government / industry cooperation still eludes us because we still do not have agreed data exchange standards.
This talk outlines the current “state of the nation” of government / industry cooperation, describes (as an example) what has happened in the UK and then suggests a way forward that is being supported by Energistics through its custodianship of the National Data Repositories movement.

Talk Description
The upstream oil and gas industry is facing many challenges including declining existing reserves, new reserves that are difficult to access, aging infrastructure and ever increasing health and safety risks. Many in the industry are looking to intelligent or digital oilfields and integrated operations concepts to address these challenges and are deploying increased connectivity solutions to gain better information about reservoirs and operations. Many benefits are expected and value adding applications are being developed to exploit this newly acquired information. However, there are also downsides.
This new connectivity also opens these systems to security threats such as hackers, viruses, worms and terrorists. Security incidents have already occurred in digital oilfields with hackers disabling safety systems, worms and viruses causing loss of view and loss of control incidents for production and drilling operations.
This presentation examines these issues and looks at some of the incidents experienced and considers how taking an effective cyber security strategy can be a real enabler for digital oilfield initiatives.

Talk Description
Digital oilfield developments have pushed the frontiers of Information Technology in requiring industrial grade, secure, robust and reliable connectivity delivered into often remote, harsh and challenging environments. Spanning connectivity issues in the High North and remote deserts to deep water and subsea installations the pace of change in technology continues to push the abilities of IT organization to deliver.
For every new innovation, technology or practice there are attendant challenges around the provision of services to new locations, changes in the nature of communication and its impact on network operations, and expectations of individuals as regards immediacy of access to information and applications.
IT Outsourcing is prevalent in the Oil and Gas Industry. Often divided between multiple suppliers covering Network, data centre, desktop, helpdesk..... the advent of new changes test the ability of service providers to meet the change in demand in a cost effective way.
In this presentation we will look at how recent changes, and current and proposed innovation can be supported and delivered in this complex and commercially challenging delivery model.
