Technology Integration of enablers


Emerging technologies Each of these technologies will impact the Processes and Organization directly or indirectly R-T Facility Monitoring and Control

R-T Production Surveillance

Production Volumes System

Remote Commsnd

Flow Control

Down hole Monitoring

R-T Drilling

Reservoir Monitoring

Video conferencing

WiFi, GPRS, Satellite

High-Density Video

Data through Fiber Optics

24/7 Video wall systems

Predictive Analytics

RIA, Web 2.0, Mobile

Knowledge Mgmt. Systems

Data warehouse

CCTV

Handling technology complexity 

Focus on processes impacting the Organization KPIs

Focus always on “the system” but break down the complexity

Be aligned to existing corporate IT policies and processes

Integrate BU, IT and DM members in the core team

Measure and validate the quality and completeness of the data

Identify potential hidden vices introduced by the technology


Technology hitches Common problems with data 

Common agreed definitions (shared context) lacking

Common instrumentation problems 

Under/Out of specification

Analog to digital conversions

Interfaces with existing equipment

Inconsistent definitions across applications

Manual transformations and analysis

Temperature / pressure affected

Manual audit trails

Maintenance

Poor data quality

Poor connectivity from applications to resources

One way data traffic (errors not corrected at the source)


Processes Integration of enablers


Introducing new processes Each of these Processes will impact the Technology and Organization directly or indirectly Live well investigation / review

Online well model update

Early response to HSE events

System consistency / verification

Monitor facility constraints

Production optimization

Monitor well integrity

Reservoir optimization

Field / office coordination

Facilities optimization

Field level profitability

Online production allocation

Daily production validation

Handling processes complexity 

Processes must contribute to clear strategic objectives

Determine the necessary capability and technology

Early identification of skillset gaps for new processes

Avoid introducing opportunities of “blaming game” between business units

Online production deferment

Well test validation

New equipment maintenance

Determine well flowrate


Organization Integration of enablers


Changing the Organization / People Each of these Organization Changes are impacted by the Technology and Processes directly or indirectly Solution champions

Real-world training simulations

Mentorship

Training and development program

Knowledge sharing culture

New role and responsibility

Technology leaders

Process and Data Ownership

Functional leadership

Succession plan

Governance models

Objectives setting

Technical support leadership

Handling organization/people complexity 

Organizational Change Management is a project on its own

Plan for timely and effective communication strategy

Early engagement of change agents at Field, Management and Executive Level

Encourage the involvement of people with referent-power (lead by example)

The implementation team also needs to be considered

Reporting styles and frequency

Continuous Process Improvement

Collaboration etiquette

Quality Committees


Conclusion 

The DOF can be enabled successfully by – People – Processes – Technology

when the interdependencies are well addressed and aligned 

The complexity implementing the DOF requires of – – – –

Sound project management skills (multi-focus) Effective change management execution Constant management support Active involvement of the Business Units
