OPC Technology Summit 2012
Most major oil companies contract out the drilling of a well to drilling companies; e.g., Transocean, Noble Drilling, Parker Drilling
The drilling companies have fleet of rigs that may be contracted out to operators
Once a rig is built and added to the fleet there is little to no incentive to refurbish/migrate the instrumentation and data collection systems to alternate architectures or standards
CONTRACT DRILLING

OPC Technology Summit 2012
The legacy has been to provide customized, tightly coupled solutions to the oil and gas industry, particularly in the areas of…◦ Data acquisition systems◦ WITSML rig servers◦ Integrated communications ◦ WITSML data historians◦ Applications for the drilling full life cycle
Large client bases currently in existence Reluctant/hesitant to change without proven business-value

Functions:◦ Hoisting (moving drillstring & casing up and down)◦ Rotating (drillstring & casing)◦ Circulating (fluids in & out of the well)◦ Maintain Well Control (controlling downhole pressures, preventing blow-
outs) Operations

OPC UA creates opportunities for improved, optimized performance◦ Increased automation◦ Opportunities for remote command/control◦ Increased ‘awareness’ and knowledge in decision process◦ Knowledge management/sharing◦ Benchmarking
Benefits are known - new drilling rigs are being OPC UA certified Downhole equipment being OPC UA certified Increased opportunities for unmanned drilling remotely controlled Implement challenges can be addressed in straightforward manner
THE FUTURE
25
OPC Technology Summit 2012
The Oil & Gas industry is at a critical point in the development and implementation of a ‘digital oil field’ environment◦ Real-time data structure as has evolved with little overall design and
structure to the underlying data management requirements◦ Current data standards based on a combination of proprietary vendor
standards◦ Ever growing volumes of data required to facilitate decision-making;
drivers for more efficient operations and data management support Conclusion
◦ OPC Unified Architecture (UA) combines the functionality of the existing OPC interfaces with new technologies such as XML and Web Services to deliver higher levels of operational support
◦ It provides an integrated data foundation capable of handling increased data volumes while providing optimized and accurate information required for critical decision-making
