Update on Energistics

Industry Goals

• Reserves replacement• Production optimization• Operational efficiency• Regulatory Compliance

Intelligent Energy

• Various definitions• Involves people, processes, technology• Growth and change • Sense of urgency• Need for more digital standards (SPE

2005 Forum)

Standards for Intelligent Energy

• Link with the business strategy• Compelling value proposition• Industry commitment• Time-to-market critical

The Prize

• The upstream oil and gas industry believes that increased standardization can result in billions of dollars of additional value in the area of production optimization, alone, and knows that there are additional billions to be saved in other areas of the business.

Board of Directors: Re-ignite upstream industry-wide interest in standards definition and adoption by:

• Taking a fresh look at the organization– Capabilities– Delivery model – Positioning

The New Organization

The New Organization

• Including broader representation– More national energy companies– More regulatory agencies– More vertical service companies– More horizontal IT organizations– More professional services organizations

The New Organization

• Focusing on value– Community effect– Information exchange efficiency– Value delivered by existing standards– Drive through to deep deployment

The New Organization

• Re-inventing the organization– Same upstream E&P focus, but– New leadership– Clarified mission and vision– New name– New image

The Vision

• Energistics will be the global Energy Standards Resource Centre for the upstream oil and gas industry

The Mission

• Energistics will deliver to the upstream oil and gas industry the means to produce, promote, deploy and maintain common information and data standards

The Value Proposition

Some Thoughtful Questions

Does the industry (still) need collaborative efforts to produce, refine, and support data, information and process standards?

• The industry seems to continue to struggle with problems resulting from the lack of consistency, quality, compatibility, etc. in data and information as stored, as transferred, and as used.– Non-competitive, collaborative standards efforts

are still needed.

Why are many standards not widely used or not producing intended results?

• We don’t define non-competitive boundaries well?

• We don’t step up to the real (full) scope?– We solve a subset? We solve under idealized conditions?

• We don’t see the need to invest precious time, resources, and expertise? [self-fulfilling prophesy]

• We expect standards to be 100% finished and never have to change again?

• We are tempted to stand on the sidelines and let others do the heavy lifting [standards definition]?

So …

• In order to have the best chance that the results of our collaborative efforts are really used and do produce expected results,– We believe that we must keep what is chosen to be

done, what is being done, and what has been done• In YOUR minds and in YOUR hands.

• Therefore, our recommended emphasis on The Energy Standards Resource Centre and on pursuing qualified Major Initiatives.

And …

• We don’t need armies of your people to conceive and define non-competitive, collaborative solutions [standards] that work, but we do need:– A few of your Visionaries to ensure that the right

problems are being addressed– Your key Leaders to clear the way for the solutions to

come into full and proper use– Your Front-Line Professionals to express the real

“purpose,” to “test fitness,” and to “be committed to deployment”.

• These people help make standards truly successful and will be more valuable to your organization
