PRODML™ Work Group
Announces
Release Candidate, Version 1.0
Available for Industry Review
Sep. 1, 2006
In August 2005, fourteen energy companies, energy solution vendors,
and the Petrotechnical Open Standards Consortium (POSC) started an
initiative to specify basic standards to enable production optimization
work flows. A target completion date of one year was set for the initial
phase deliverables
With this notice, the participants are pleased to release for
industry review and comment of the initial deliverables known as the
PRODML™ [PRODuction xML] Candidate Release, Version 1.0. The review
and comment period begins on September 1, 2006 with acceptance of
comments ending September 28, 2006. The comment review and update
process will take approximately two weeks with a target publication of
the PRODML Standards, Version 1.0, on October 16, 2006.
The PRODML participants conducted four pilot test implementations
using field data provided by energy companies together with applications
and pilot software implementations of the PRODML standards provided by
energy solution vendors. The PRODML Standards address general purpose
optimization data and application interactions, but are strongly based
on careful study of these three basic production optimization work
flows:
- Gas lift optimization.
- Optimizing production from free flowing wells based on real-time
measurements and network models.
- Field-wide optimization based on real-time measurements, network
models and reservoir surveillance.
The standards are designed to be extensible, allowing more complex
workflows with their data requirements, future optimization techniques
and evolving software applications.
After the public review period, the PRODML standards will be
transferred to POSC for further stewardship and evolution. This is an
opportunity for interested parties to join us by becoming members of the
POSC Production SIG. If you are interested, please contact Alan Doniger (Doniger@POSC.org).
The Candidate Release Specifications may be found on www.PRODML.org.
