a System of Industry Metocean data for the Offshore and Research Communities
(SIMORC)
by
Dick Schaap - MARIS
Status March 2007
Supported by the European Commission as part of the 6th Framework Programmesub-priority 1.1.6.3 – Global Change and Ecosystems EC contract no. 518078
![Page 2: A System of Industry Metocean data for the Offshore and Research Communities (SIMORC) by Dick Schaap - MARIS Status March 2007 Supported by the European](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d3f5503460f94a192db/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
• A major share of metocean in situ observations for the oceans and seas is collected by research institutions and governmental organizations, operating monitoring stations and performing field surveys.
• In addition a very substantial volume of metocean in situ data is collected by private industry, in particular by or under contract to major oil & gas companies.
• However there is not a common awareness of available data sets and no systematic indexing and archival of these data sets within the industry.
• Furthermore there is only limited reporting and access to these data sets & results of field studies for other parties, in particular the scientific community.
The issue
![Page 3: A System of Industry Metocean data for the Offshore and Research Communities (SIMORC) by Dick Schaap - MARIS Status March 2007 Supported by the European](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d3f5503460f94a192db/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Autumn 2003, Pat Hyder introduced the idea to OGP MetOcean Committee for restricted release of the global commercial ocean data set for research (in particularly to evaluate ocean models) with technical support of the International Pacific Research Centre.
• The Committee agreed to compile a cross-company inventory and, in principle, to making data available in a restricted manner for future research. Total, BP and Shell agreed to take the proposal forward.
• Early 2004, Shell discussed the idea with MARIS at Oceanology International and it was agreed that MARIS would compose a partnership and compile a proposal to the EU.
• This was submitted in Autumn 2004 and successfully evaluated (24 out of 25 points) in January 2005. The project was officially launched in June 2005.
Some history
![Page 4: A System of Industry Metocean data for the Offshore and Research Communities (SIMORC) by Dick Schaap - MARIS Status March 2007 Supported by the European](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d3f5503460f94a192db/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Create an internet based central index, including a geographical user interface, of metocean data sets, collected globally by OGP members (oil & gas industry) both in the past and ongoing
• Harmonise the quality and formats of the data sets and store these in a central database, linked to the central index, for unified retrieving and access of the metocean datasets by internet
• Define a SIMORC Data Protocol with rules agreed by OGP members for access and use of data sets by scientific & educational users, and by other users.
• Promote and disseminate the SIMORC facility in the oil & gas industry, scientific communities and developing countries to achieve an increasing number of contributing parties and users

• SIMORC has been integrated in oceanographic data management training courses, organised by IOC-IODE
• So far more than 15 training courses have been held• Overall more than 300 participants from 75 countries
have been made aware of SIMORC and have received training in its use
• SIMORC training curriculum will be included in the IODE OceanTeacher system. These tools are used during the IODE Training Courses and can also be used for self-training and continuous professional development. It was recently agreed that WMO will use the OceanTeacher as a main training tool for Marine Meteorology.
• Targets are creating wide awareness in scientific communities and developing countries
Training

• Substantial database of data sets • Processes, methods, standards and systems in place
and operational to process and include new data sets and to serve users
• Service includes:• Transparant overview of available data sets• Delivery of harmonised and documented data sets• QC of submitted data• Supporting further use and exchange of data sets
Present state
![Page 30: A System of Industry Metocean data for the Offshore and Research Communities (SIMORC) by Dick Schaap - MARIS Status March 2007 Supported by the European](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d3f5503460f94a192db/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Further processing of received data sets for inclusion in SIMORC Service
• Extension of EC contract requested till December 2007 to allow for spending of remaining budgets on processing of more data sets
• Strong recommendation to other OGP members => make use of this and supply additional data sets soon!!
• Promotion of the service to scientific institutes and developing countries => registration of users via Licence Agreements
• Preparing an LIP arrangement with OGP members for coming 3 years of SIMORC Service operations for further expansion of the SIMORC database with new / fresh data sets from existing suppliers and old data sets from other OGP companies
• Providing OGP members with manual to use towards subcontractors for standard QC, formating and documentation of new Metocean data sets for a smooth processing.
Future
