program 2 ReservoirmanagementandProductionOptimizationa large portion of the IO value potential lies in reservoir management. Our guiding principle is the concept of closed loop reservoir management and the application of mathematical optimization. This includes work flows for assisted history matching and production optimization. We try to develop fast, reliable and transparent methods. Further, our aim is to challenge the dominant silo approach and bring IO to a next level through integration of models and optimization applications.

program 4 NewWorkProcessesandEnablingTechnologies
Future Collaboration environments; Case study on risk impact of maintenance operations
In 2009 the project has conducted studies on collaboration surfaces to support risk informed decisions in maintenance and modification planning. A test-bed, called the IO Maintenance and modification planner (IO MAP) was developed in close colla-boration with partners and tested at several Statoil locations, as well as at ENI Norge, GdF SUEZ E&P Norge and Shell.
Ideally,onewouldselectandshapetechnologiestoactivelyenabledesiredworkpractices.Inreality,technologyconstraintsandpossibilitiesoftenshapetheworkpracticesinstead,sometimeswithunforeseeneffects.Technologyimposedchangeisonlypurposefulifitcontributestoalignmentwiththeorganisation’sstrategiesandthestandardsoftheindustry.Onesetofsuchstandardsandstrategiesarethosethatpertaintosafetyrisks.ThepurposeoftheIOMAPstudiesistoinvestigatetechnologycharacteristicsthatmayimproveriskidentification.

Organizational factors and Integrated OperationsIn 2009 the project addresses how organizational factors impact on the successful implementation of Integrated Operations, with a focus on operations, maintenance, and production optimization. Examples of organizational factors include: leadership, organizational structure, organizational culture, roles and responsibilities, teamwork, KPIs, and training. The project is carried out in close cooperation with Shell Norway, where we have previously developed and tested a team training concept for operations and production optimization teams.
Someimportantfindings:• Leadershipbehaviorhasastrongimpactonthedegree
