Petroleum Legislation Structure

Guidelines

Regulations stipulated by NPD

Regulations stipulated as

Royal Decrees or by Ministry

Acts


The Petroleum Act 29 November 1996

The Legislation:

� §10-4 Material and information concerning the petroleum activities� Outlines the framework for reporting material and

information to the authorities

� Legislation applies to anyone generating information regarding petroleum activity.

� The operator assumes responsibility for information when a production licence is surrendered.

� Material and information shall be submitted to the Ministry or to anyone designated by the Ministry.

i.e. In the case of Diskos – The Diskos Database Operator (SINAS)


Data Reporting to the NPD

� NPD is entitled to all information the oil companies have regarding their activity in Norway.

� The Petroleum Act allows NPD to formulate detailed routines for reporting.

� NPD holds a seat in all licence committees as an observer.

� NPD gives drilling permission.

� NPD gives permission to perform all seismic surveys.� If received information is not sufficient, additional reporting can be

requested by NPD.


The 19th Licencing Round announcement

Quick and efficient

access to relevant data

is essential

Seismic Data

Well Data


Ownership of data - A key issue

� Data is owned by the company that pays for its initial acquisition

and thus has the “copyright” or intellectual property rights to

that data

� oil company (private or state owned)

� licence group

� spec company

� NPD

� Data may be purchased – User Rights or Owner Rights

� In the Diskos Database, the entitlements to the data will be updated thus giving

access to the “purchaser/buyer”

� User Rights may be purchased or Owner Rights

� Data may be traded – User Rights only

� Data may by traded and in the Diskos Database entitlements to ”Traded Data” will

be updated by the Trade Operator (for most licences – OLF-Trade)


Release of data

� § 73 Regulations to Act relating to petroleum activities

� Release of seismic data/well data

� Licence data is confidential for 2 years

� Data not owned by a licence group is confidential for 5

years

� Market available data (spec) is confidential for 10 years.

� Sensitive information (interpretations etc) is confidential

for 20 years

� Data from a licence area which is relinquished or

surrendered, is no longer confidential

Data Legislation


Reporting and dissemination of data

�Areas of focus:

�Reporting requirements for main data types

�Data ownership

owner rights

user rights

�Release of data

Practical implications E&P Data and Knowledge Management - Bahrain May 2006 23

The Petroleum Act 29 November 1996

(revision of previous legislation)

The Legislation:

� §10-4 Material and information concerning the petroleum activities� Outlines the framework for reporting to the

authorities

� Legislation applies to anyone generating information regarding petroleum activity

� Licence operators have a special responsibility for information management

� Material and information shall be submitted to the Ministry or to anyone designated by the Ministry.

i.e. In the case of Diskos – The Diskos Database Operator (SINAS)


NPD Work Group

– Legislation relating to geodata

�Background and Aims� To clarify various issues raised by the industry relating to

the use of geodata.

� The aim is to draft proposals for changes in the legislation and to clarify guidelines applicable to the industry

� Examples

If there is an obligation to acquire seismic data as part of a work programme, what is the situation relating to collection of own data or spec data?

This has consequences for existing data release mechanisms

Today there is no specific legislation (i.e. guidelines) relating to:

Field data, reprocessed seismic data...


41

The Future!


Main Aims for NPD/Diskos

�Retain focus on main data

types

�Seismic

�Well data

�Production data


43

SEISMIC DATA


Increase the scope of seismic data

�Field data

�Pre-stack data

�Post-stack data


Current NPD Reporting Requirements

�Processed seismic data (SEG-Y) :� Raw Stack

� Raw Migration

� Filtered Migration

� Velocity Data

� Navigation data

� The aim will be to encompass other versions in the mandatory reporting requirements including pre-stack data


Field data

�Access to field data

�Where is the data?

�Can you get access?

�At what cost?

�What is the quality?


Field data - Two main issues

1.Establish specific reporting

requirements for field data

from point in time

2.Decide what to do with legacy

field data


Field data - index

Post – stack

Pre - stack

Diskos

Index

-Owner

- Survey name

- Reformatting

- Media format

- Physical location

- SEG-D version

Online access

Iron Mountain

Shell

Netherlands

PGS

offline access

One Possible First step

Establish an index to Legacy Field Data

Production data

Well data


Challenges with Field Data

� Many vintages each with their own particular problems

� QC of navigation data is a big issue� Possible pilot projects to see extent of problems?

� Propose solutions

� Discuss with the industry what the next steps should be

� Getting the industry to agree on a common way forward!� Different strategies in different companies

A challenge to gain consensus

� Can we get a good business model in place?� Legacy data

� New data


Seismic Field Data - SEG-D Revision

� SEG-D rev 2.1 (2006)

� SEG-D rev 3 (2006-2007)

� Smooth transition from old to new tape

technology

� Reduced costs (better ROI)

� Faster i/o (Acquisition & Data Processing)

� Total cost of ownership will decrease significantly if

multiple vessel lines can be recorded per cartridge


The way forward

� Discuss specific issues in t Diskos the Seismic Data Work Group

� Possible NPD pilot project to reprocess older data sets and reformat tapes� SEG-D 2.1

� Document problems

� Form the basis for revised NPD guideline

� Cost recovery by making data available to industry

� Discuss and collaborate with major players� Statoil, Hydro, Shell

� Address issue with the Norwegian Oil Industry Association (OLF)


Pre-Stack and Post-Stack Data

� Discuss and agree with the industry on suitable

guidelines for reporting and storing pre-stack data sets

(final products/significant versions)

� Expand the reporting requirements for post stack data

to encompass final products/significant versions

� The NPD/Diskos have a number of challenges relating

to reporting, release and subsequent use of spec data

� Mainly legal issues


Life of Field Seismic Data

� Continuous collection of data for reservoir depletion

monitoring� No guidelines in place for reporting data sets

� There are significant volumes of data to be managed

� Survey size – typically 4-7 TB of data

� BP are with a big focus on this in the Valhall Field� development of XML standard for data transfer?

Grav-Mag Data – Status and Future

� Currently reported to NPD

� Not handled at all well – Lack of policing� Obligation to report all such data – is all the data reported?

� Increasing interest for this data

� Especially if there is no seismic coverage, but also of use along with

the seismic data

� Lack of formats for grav mag data� ASCII files, but no agreed standards

� What is the coverage of grav mag data on NCS?

� Norway can learn from experience on UKCS


56

WELL DATA


NPD Revision of the reporting requirements for

well data - 2000

� Objectives� To build a National Digital Library for well data

� To serve the needs of the NPD and oil companies

� Revised Reporting Procedures

Reported data should be structured and named to be

compatible with the National Database

The activity of reporting should be aligned as closely as

possible with the oil companies’ normal business

� Reporting Standards

These are set by the database structure.

Set HIGHER than previous industry practice

Revision of “Blue Book”

2006


Well Data Focus Now

� Clean up and loading of historical (legacy) data

� Load more data types “Live”i.e. access through Recall

� Streamline procedures for receipt and loading of well data

� Improve indexing of data for improved access


Some well data issues

� Final well reports are confidential for 20 years� Contain a lot of data that is defined as raw data with a 2 year release

period

� Possible solution is to ask for submission of a two part reportRaw data + Interpreted data – ref. Western Australia

� Should Norway adopt the UK system of using data release agents for well data?� Aim to allow 3rd party access to Diskos database

� Allow for version control of well data, i.e. deviation survey� Basis for decisions? SOX compliance

� No deletion of reported data from the database

Improved data exchange – Production data!

� Standardize, simplify and improve the quality of monthly reported data

� Based on international standards (XML) and web services

� Establish a data format for exchanging and reporting data to partners and the authorities

�OLF Project + NPD + POSC


Diskos Challenges with Production Data

� Diskos community is an upstream G&G community

� Production data is handled by other organisational

units

� Establish good working relationships within

companies

� Complex processes to get data out of internal systems

into a central database

� What do we do with changes to historical data sets that

need to be revised?


Real Time Data

� What will we do with all this data?

� The industry is collecting increasing amounts of data

� What do we do with long term storage?

� What do we need to store?

� Can we begin to collect only data that deviates from the “norm”, i.e.

indicating that something special or wrong is happening

� How do we reconcile the handling of real time well

data with our current reporting requirements for well

data?� An issue for the industry and the authorities


Increased Focus on data quality

� Improved QC of data at all stages in work processes

� Validation routines (automated)� “Smarter data acquisition”

� Data Management is a key element in integrated

operations (Field of the Future)

� Ref Wall-Mart – AAQT (ask any question at any time)

� The aim must be to give all data sets a “Quality

Stamp” according to predefined criteria


71

Finally


Future 1

� Revise DM legislation

� Continue excellent relationships with the current operator Schlumberger and the software provider Landmark

� Plan and deliver a smooth transition to Landmark in 2009 for operations

� Increase Diskos membership

� Continued focus on standards

� Initiate joint industry DM projects


Future 2

�More data coverage in focus areas –seismic, well and production� Pre-stack data

� Field data – future reporting + legacy data

�Better data quality� Quality flags on data sets

� Improved data access� Front end acess for the casual user

� API


Benefits
