Data & Digital Standards Workshop 2.0

"Driving Standardization to Digital Transform"

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

  1. Review 2024 workshop 1.0 outcome and priority setting
    • Recommended Priorities: Safety, Efficiency and Interoperability
    • Recommended Eco-system: Role of the SDOs
    • Discuss, debate and alignment exercise on recommendations

  2. Review Industry Standards & Standardization Landscape Study
    • Show landscape of current data and digital standards in the energy (oil & gas operations focus) sector?
    • What does the current industry landscape look like as it relates to data and digitalization standards and
    • Standardization initiatives for the energy sector.
    • Map and prioritize above based recommendations: Safety, Efficiency and Interoperability

  3. Deliberate on partnerships and future collaboration
    • Working with the SDOs & Partnerships
    • Ecosystem to drive and measure standardization value for our industry

VISION

Integral to transforming our sector, is an:

  • Understanding of our current applicable data/digital standards and digitalization processes today, and a
  • Unified industry vision to progress industry standards through our existing SDO systems. Driving standardize, as a critical enabler to digital transformation, required clarity of which select data and digital requirements need to become "industry standards".

There is a need for a SDO collaborative eco-system that drives a unified direction for data & digital standards that will aid industry standardization while keeping pace with new technology advancements across our value chain.

Includes data, digital and digitalization standards for:

The upstream oil & gas and renewables energy sub-sectors and

Disciplines: reservoir, subsurface, well integrity, drilling & completions, production, engineering, project planning, remote operational processes, asset automated control systems, automation of equipment on onshore & offshore assets and cybersecurity.
