Connecting Real Time Data to Everything

Wellstorm’s Business
• Founded 2004
• Broadening the base of real time data
suppliers and consumers: “WITSML
Everywhere”
• Enabling data suppliers with WITSML
server technology
• Exposing RT data to web and WITSML
clients
Target Audience
• You need to supply WITSML services to your
customers, or you’re an operator with internal
real time systems
• You have a business requirement to retain
control over the data you acquire or aggregate
– e.g. you distribute data to customers over internet
– e.g. you have an application-specific repository
• You intend to focus your resources on
enhancing the value you already give your
customers
– …not on reinventing the plumbing of getting the data
from A to B
Our Status
• Integrated with M/D Totco RigSense
• Shipped first integrated systems this year;
on track for several dozen by year end
• Seeking other integration partners
Integrating with Wellstorm
• We help company build
export adapter
– Translate internal format to
WITSML
– Store in Wellstorm
repository e.g. log data
– Reflect <realtime> to
subscribers
• Can be a two-way
adapter
– accept WITSML info
– fire update events to host
system
– Example: send control data
back to driller
The Process
•
•
•
•
Two weeks of analysis, typical
Four weeks integration, typical
Two weeks interface QA, stress testing
Validating the correct semantic mapping:
variable
Connecting
• Your customers will be able to connect to their
data three ways:
– WITSML clients: purpose built applications like GEO,
DrillWorks that speak WITSML API
– Web clients
• a browser, maybe a little script
• feed readers, for updates (v 2)
– Real time clients: desktop applications that subscribe
to <realtime>
• Wellstorm supplies “Click Once” rich client (v 2)
• We can help you enhance your existing rich RT
client or web client software to use these data
access practices
WITSML Clients
• Works with standard WITSML clients
software
• Several companies test client compatibility
against our v1 and v2 servers every day
• Wellstorm supports all WITSML objects;
suitable for any application domain
Web Client: Browser
•
•
•
Just use a web browser
to review repository
It’s easy to build a
custom web user
interface, because all
Wellstorm objects have
URLs.
Note to Nerds: This is an
ajax webapp, meaning if
you look at the javascript
you’ll see how to
construct your own rich
client application by
navigating Wellstorm’s
URLs (“lightweight
witsml”)
Web Client: Feed
• Web feeds: a special
xml format that feed
readers understand
(RSS, Atom)
• Windows Vista and
IE7 have built in
support for feeds
• Manageable way to
monitor changes over
dozens of wells,
hundreds of objects
Realtime Client: Solving the
Publish Problem
•
•
•
Publish interface good for
server to server
communication but usually
can’t push <realtime> to the
desktop
Most offices do permit
instant messaging, because
the connection always is
requested by the client
Solution: Push <realtime>
objects over instant
messaging protocol (RFC
3290)

Secure
More efficient
Actually works
We supply this generic
client, but you can easily
adapt your own RT client
software to read this
messaging stream
Vision Thing
• Break your data out of application silos. This
means anywhere an application is sitting on a
pile of data in proprietary format, expose it in
standard formats like WITSML. The data have
more value to you when all applications can use
it.
• Metcalfe’s Law: The value of the network
increases as the square of the number of nodes.
Enable your data to participate in the Web – the
most valuable network there is. It can then be
used in ways you never anticipated.
