Sawaryn, N. Whiteley, A. Deady, and A. Borresen, BP Exploration; and N. Gibson, Kongsberg Intellifield Journal SPE Drilling & Completion Volume Volume 26, Number 1 Date March 2011 Copyright 2011. Society of Petroleum Engineers Discipline 1.1.4 Real-Time Data Transmission, Decision-Making Categories 3.5.2 Data Integration Keywords Data Quality, Workflows, Decision Making, Smart Agents, WITSML Preview Summary The paper discusses how data quality influences workflows and decision making in drilling and completions and examines the use of semiautomated processes for quality assurance. With poor data, additional steps are required and workflows must be repeated. In even relatively simple situations, controlled tests suggest that small changes or omissions may have a significant influence on the work efficiency or outcome. In earlier work, the quality of any data stream has been described in terms of identity, presence, measurement frequency, accuracy, continuity, units, and associated metadata. For some of these, a degree of self-checking is possible, applying simple algorithms to the data stream to detect presence and bounds, with alarms to alert the operator if these are transgressed. In other cases, such as the change in drag and torque with depth, the stream must be checked against a trend, called a pseudolog, determined from the physics. These calculations are performed by "smart agents" directly in real time on the wellsite information transfer standard markup language (WITSML) data feed from the rig. The paper describes the early work in developing smart agents to address data quality and structure of the associated tool kit that can be used to construct more-complex agents from a wider selection of data sources, including system-generated ones. The computational resources required are also discussed. The increase in digital data and skills shortage makes manual assurance of all the data streams neither practical nor cost effective. Because current applications are not tolerant of errors and omissions, a step change in data quality is needed if more-automated workflows are to be achieved. Greater assurance of the data at source and an improved understanding of the workflows will help.
