OverviewDigital technology is changing the way we manage our oil and gas assets. This Digital Oilfield Virtual Summit - "Workflow Transformation" will focus on new workflow and process optimization initiatives needed to leverage these technologies.
BackgroundThe first functionality of the digital oil field workflow is to automate collection, verification, and validation of the right data so the right people have it at the right time in the right context. Both generic semantic data models, such as S95 and ISO15926, and industry models such as WITSML and PRODML will be important in this phase.
Secondly, model, rules-based, and heuristic technologies help preprocess and classify information and processes to handle routine issues promptly and to detect and alert on more complex issues. And as digital capability increases, reactive alerting will give way to near-real-time and forecast alerts. We must be careful, however, that time spent maintaining automated systems does not counter our gains from reducing manual data gathering. Data-collection and processing tools must include self-diagnostic elements to reduce maintenance and enhance internal integrity. But data gathering and alerting process are just the beginning. Alerts can trigger calibrated responses based on criticality to prompt individuals or teams to analyze a situation, understand the cause, and define and initiate a response. The workflow also must capture the analysis process, the plan resolution, the actions taken, and the results achieved, helping to create best practices. The final functionalities of the digital oil field are in its ability to learn, modify, and simplify workflows; convert human-driven steps to machine-driven steps; and continuously improve the process.
