3. Intelligent Performance Improvement
Effective decisions related to oil & gas operations are made only if key personnel in
the decision making process have access to timely, quality controlled data.
The identification of performance improvement opportunities is then possible by
the continuous comparison of field data to expectations from modeling, simulation,
or past experience.
We believe the solution to more efficient decisions requires four core infrastructure
components. The first is an open data management platform that allows decision mak-
ers access to all data, reports and analysis with minimal effort in a timely manner.
The second component is an environment that facilitates integration and collabora-
tion between locations and disciplines. The third is a toolbox of ‘best-in-class’ analysis,
simulation, interpretation, and visualisation tools that link seamlessly to the data man-
agement platform. Finally, well designed work processes are needed to handle
the tremendous flow of data and alarms associated with a real-time environment.
Both oil & gas companies and oilfield service companies are using and benefiting from
our technologies. Efficient, timely data aggregation, distribution, verification, analysis,
and visualisation enable experts in the field, in engineering support centres and in
remote offices to collaborate and make faster and better decisions.

6. Production optimisation and flow assurance
Well designed workflows centered on surveillance, dynamic simulation, exception-
based monitoring and alarms have proven to greatly enhance the efficiency of
production operations. Kongsberg is unique in having the ability to combine all
of the technology components required to facilitate these workflows into a single
Integrated Collaboration Environment.

7. Drilling performance improvement
The ability to integrate diverse data from electronic drilling recorders, LWD,
Mudlogs, and other sources is the first step to making better drilling decisions. The
automated analysis of this real-time data allows asset managers to find the root
causes of invisible lost time. The performance of different rigs and crews can then be
compared with each other with the ultimate goal of accelerating the drilling process
without compromising safety or the environment.
Kongsberg is unique in being able to combine a vendor-neutral platform for real-
time drilling data management, with experience in creating improved drilling work-
flows, together with the design and project management associated with creating
new Integrated Collaboration Environments, all under one roof.

8. Aggregation
Aggregating, distributing, and managing data in real-time
A service-oriented architecture based on open standards is key to building a per-
manent real-time data infrastructure that allows choosing ‘best-in-class’ vendors,
service companies, and software applications. This architecture is one of the key
components required for Integrated Operations.
Kongsberg is able to provide you with a single system that seamlessly links all of
your locations across the globe including offices, rigs, platforms and service compa-
nies. You have a single interface to field data, simulation results, calculated results,
files, photos, reports and other information. On the rig or in the office all of the
data is available to the right people at the right time and at a lower cost than you
are paying now.
Kongsberg infrastructures for data availability can be created totally within your
network. This eliminates data security issues associated with vendors hosting data
outside your controlled environment.
6
9. Visualisation
Integration, visualisation and animation
Interacting with data to make decisions often requires visualisation of data in
unique and customised ways. Kongsberg has an expert team of programmers
dedicated to data integration, 2D and 3D user interfaces, and oilfield virtual reality
environments. This expertise is used both as input to our software products and in
custom software development.
Our standards-based development toolbox allows us to integrate leading edge visu-
alisation solutions seamlessly into your environment. Kongsberg has partnered with
independent, national, and international oil and gas companies to develop visuali-
sation solutions to meet each of their individual needs..
7
10. Verification
Data quality control and service company governance
A standard methodology for governing the performance of vendors and service pro-
viders is essential for Integrated Operations. This governance is based on ensuring
real-time access to quality controlled data, comparison of field data to modelled or
simulated data and reacting to anomalies and exceptions.
Data from all vendors and service companies is verified using the same automated
checks, customised for your needs. As a result, you gain increased confidence in the
validity of your real-time data streams.

11. Flexible and rigid riser engineering
Over 500 projects related to concept engineering, verification, failure analysis, or
independent analysis of flexible and rigid riser systems have been delivered for
floating production systems, riser towers and drilling rigs.
Kongsberg's experience and knowledge embraces the entire range of issues related
to the design, operation and system integrity of flexible and rigid riser systems.
Our engineers combine practical hands-on experience with solid theoretical skills
to solve challenges related to risers from conceptual design and into the operation
phase for worldwide customers. Over years, we have developed problem solving
methods, strategies and unique analytical tools, which are tailor-made for the spe-
cific needs of flexible and rigid riser technology.

12. Simulation
Dynamic simulation
Kongsberg has been the leader in providing dynamic simulators for process, instru-
mentation and control engineering for many years.
Our dynamic process simulators are adaptable to a wide range of process and plant
requirements. Lifecycle simulation is a proven and powerful concept that helps
reduce costs and improve efficiency in all phases of a field development project.
Dynamic simulation should be used for process design verification, plant checkout,
verification of control logic, preparation of operators for plant startup, and optimi-
sation of plant operation.
10
13. Multi-phase flow simulation
Twelve years of research and development by SINTEF, ConocoPhillips, and Total has
resulted in a new simulator providing dynamic multiphase flow simulations in either
1D or in the unique quasi-three dimensional (Q3D) version. This provides better un-
derstanding of the flow regime by allowing for 3D visualisation of multiphase flow.
Simple pipelines, tie-backs, subsea developments, tubing designs, flow line designs,
complex geometries and pipeline networks can all be dynamically simulated.
With this new technology, Kongsberg can work with you to solve production prob-
lems associated with flow assurance, hydrates, cool-down simulations, riser thermo-
hydraulic behaviour and riser stability.

14. Integration
Project management
Whether it is related to the deployment of an enterprise-wide integrated IT platform
for decision making, analysing the production process of a new-build FPSO, con-
structing new facilities for integrated collaboration or creating a custom 3D anima-
tion, Kongsberg project managers have the discipline, dedication, and proven meth-
odologies to deliver on-time, on-budget, every time.
12
15. Integrated Collaboration Environments
Distributed decision making requires a virtual environment by linking of voice, video,
knowledge, files, photos, reports, historical data and real-time data between loca-
tions. It also requires physical facilities designed around new work processes in to-
day’s new digital world. Kongsberg is the undisputed leader in providing both these
virtual environments and these physical environments to our oil & gas partners.
13
16. Collaboration
People and advice
Kongsberg has long recognised that new technologies are often implemented without
addressing the cultural issues and resistance to change within the organisation. New
technologies often result in new work processes, and the change from the old ways of
doing things to the new ways must be managed and coordinated.
Kongsberg is able to provide the people and processes to help you adapt to new
Integrated Operations found within the intelligent oilfield. We compose our advising
