“DOF is about
unifying disparate oil
field processes into a
digestible data
stream”1
“Increased wireless
connectivity brings
the benefit of remote
monitoring and
control” 1
“The sheer breadth of
data can do as much
to paralyze decision-
making as liberate it” 1

9. CASE STUDIES
Multi-Business Unit, Multi-Field PETEX Deployment
Challenges & Business Problem
• Unrealized lost production opportunities and underperforming production levels on a per well basis.
• Well Reliability & Optimization capability implemented independently by asset/field and business unit,
resulting in fragmented and limited capabilities for integrated production modeling
• Outdated and fragmented toolset where the total cost of ownership has steadily increased
Solutions & Best Practices
• Implement a global solution which will increase production, improve production efficiency, reduce costs
and be shared across BU’s
• Create a cross-functional central team partnered with BU specific teams to design, develop, test & deploy
• Incorporate training in the deployment model (observe | learn | do with support | do independently)
• Leverage SME Petex resources and work across BU’s
Forecasted Benefits
• Increased BOE production by 1% - 3% globally
• Increased organizational capability globally
• Reduced cost of support and ownership
• Consistent solution and enablement of a shared surveillance capability across business units

10. CASE STUDIES CONT.
Field Optimization & Asset Integrity Monetary Value of Surveillance Data
Challenges & Business Problem Challenges & Business Problem
• Significant downtime associated with asset integrity
and aging facilities
• Unable to flow / optimize well and facility
performance with increasing downtime
• Large, complex brownfield asset with over 200
completions and 100 sands over the field’s life
• Reduce high risk, liability and costs for exploration
and production of Deepwater leases
• Realize commercial opportunities
Solutions & Best Practices Solutions & Best Practices
• Utilize IPM to optimize wells and facilities over the life
of the asset (30 year forecast) to accelerate and
increase reserves
• Implement large-scale effort to replace infrastructure
to match expected asset life
• Adoption of IPM drives communication and
alignment on business strategy for asset end of life
• Utilize IVM for well surveillance
• Acquire real time data into a database historian with
the ability to consume.
Forecasted Benefits Benefits
• Reduce production downtime from 30% to 5%
• Increased recovery of reserves up to 10%
• Reduced OPEX cost due to improving aging
infrastructure
• Able to sell acquired real time data to another E&P
company with similar plays in the same area
• Recovered 100 plus times the cost of implementing
real time surveillance system
• Reduce risk and liability for exploration
