Although the case has been made before, with limited impact on the upstream, there is a feeling that the 'ML's - WITSML WITSML Wellsite Information Transfer Standard Markup Language and PRODML are different from previous initiatives. This has been demonstrated by several pilot projects and by a good turn out at the dedicated WITSML and PRODML Special Interest Groups. Philippe Chalon's keynote offered both a 'back to the future' respective of POSC's early days and teething troubles as well as an insights into Total's own issues with its IT budget and software suppliers. Speakers from Chevron and Weatherford reported on successful PRODML pilots and some ideas as to how the standard's footprint is growing to embrace more complex workflows including production optimization. IBM's service architecture guru Ron Montgomery described how IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company.

Abstract TW0709_1 Introduction - Randy Clark, Energistics CEO Randy Clark stated that the rebrand rebrand Verb to change or update the image of (an organization or product) was initiated because POSC's market identity had faded. Clark was brought in to ensure POSC maintains relevance. There has been a positive response to the name, logo and website. Energistics now has 73 member companies - the latest is Accenture Consulting. Focus is the upstream, exploration and production, with 'signature' brands WITSML and PRODML. Energistics' vision is to be a global standards resource center for the upstream. There is a belief that costs can be saved through standardization. Even a small amount of take-up equates to 'billions of dollars of value' in the North Sea alone. Data volumes are up, data is stored in silos, quality is problematical and there is a lack of integration with business. Data complexity creates more issues with a lack of interface standardization. All in the context of a desire for 'Intelligent energy,' smart fields etc. There is a sense of urgency - it is not about the 'Field of the Future,' but about the Field of Today! The SPE SPE - Software Practice and Experience has recognized the need for more standards which have to link to business strategy. This can make for a compelling value proposition and requires strong industry commitment. Time to market is critical and companies should get involved early in the development process. 'If we don't do it, Oracle, SAP and Microsoft will do it for us!' Standards need agile development, support and 'deep deployment.' POSC's plan for 2007 and beyond is to build a 'value based business model' leveraging member resources and community knowledge. Tactics involve a business plan, secure funding, launching and product marketing. Energistics will 'drive deployment and manage the standards' lifecycle.' Technical to business integration and optimization are key. Energistics now only has five employees - there is no more a high cost central organization.
