London
Hallam Conference Centre
Our 1 day conference 'Developments with the digital oilfield' in London on Dec 1 is about the latest exciting technology which can make digital oilfield work - integrating field operations in subsurface, drilling and production, and improving efficiency and safety
- How highperformance data management tools can help everyone in your oil company get a much better and faster understanding of what is going on, including exploration, project management, reservoir simulation and production optimisation,management tools, dashboards and reporting
- How to make the most of the industry's experience with digital oilfield so far - overcoming resistance to change
- Providing geophysicists and geologists with access to their subsurface models onto the laptops or desk computers, with everything hosted via the cloud
- How do reduce the amount of complex information drilling crew need to process, in order to make a decision like whether to press the button now - the person still makes the decision but the computer makes it easier
- Supporting drilling operations with cloud software tools, which process the drilling data on shore to give people better advice about what is happening
- Using WITSML to gather data from different service providers on the rig, gathering all of the data together in one place
- Make the most of your VSAT bandwidth with new techniques, to make sure you get value out of every kilobit per second available to you
This conference is designed for everyone who works with digital oilfield technology - whether specifying it, using it, deploying it, developing it or supplying it - who needs to keep up to date with the latest industry developments.

Talk Description
This talk will focus on how an operator can gather different real-time data types together using the WITSML data standard and making it available to engineering applications both at the wellsite and at the office.
There has been a recent rapid increase in the capture and transmission of real-time data and most operators now require an integrated service that includes the provision of internal or externally hosted real-time operations centres (RTOC).
Historically real-time data has been managed by individual data acquisition service companies who have provided access to real-time plots through their own RTOCs. Typically these might include drilling parameters, mud rheology, mudlogging and measurement-while-drilling parameters, all of which might be transferred in real-time data through separate bespoke systems over a common satellite or other low bandwidth satellite communications link.
On occasions an operator may also request one of the service companies to act as 'aggregators' of other real-time data, which can cause problems as those other companies are usually competitors and there is then an inherent conflict of interest. In addition there are networking issues as the different service companies and the operator wish to separate their networks for security purposes.
This talk explains how it is possible for an independent company to gather together all of the data sources together, eliminating these concerns.
By using the WITSML Standards and providing full Client/Server capability in specially designed data acquisition (DAQ) systems at the wellsite the potential for a 'Digital Rig' can finally be realised.

Talk Description
In this presentation, we look at the deployment of rules within an organisation. Just what are the rules and who defines them? How can the rules be maintained? And how can you encourage people to use them?
This last element is critical to the success of any system in which rules are defined and need to be followed. At times it is easier than others, but in a complex environment such as the oil and gas industry, is there anything that can help to define, maintain and ensure compliance with the rules?
The case studies presented are from a company that recently developed a Drilling Management System using the Flare application suite, and subsequently has used the same approach for their Corporate Responsibility System.
