IO in the High North 2008-2011

The primary objective of this project is to enhance technology and develop prototypes for a digital infrastructure and a semantic platform to implement Integrated Operations Generation 2 (IO G2) processes for “zero footprints” solutions.

This digital infrastructure for IO G2 shall facilitate the use of safe and cost efficient development and operations, and the monitoring of environmental and hazardous conditions in the high North. The infrastructure will be prototyped and consists of the following elements:

Real time information between sensors, activators and nodes in a high capacity network, by developing autonomous sensor-near software
Information transfer, connecting professional services to network nodes, by investigating networks and developing a platform for web services and information validation
Information integration, by developing an oil and gas ontology to support the interpretation of sensor data, the platform for web services and information validation services

Furthermore, the developed prototype digital infrastructure and semantic platform shall be piloted to demonstrate the feasibility for unmanned drilling rigs (Pilot for Drilling and Completion), improved production operations (Pilot for Reservoir & Production) and sub-ice operations (Pilot for Operation and Maintenance).
