IMPROVE It all starts with data

Aker BP has established a data platform in cooperation with Cognite

  • Design criteria for the data platform
  • Open architecture
  • Scaleable, flexible and robust
  • Cloud-based

Data feed established from ~200.000 sensors

  • Live data from all Aker BP's installations
  • Complete historic data

About Cognite

  • Norwegian IT company
  • Strategy: Develop world-class horizontal industrial data platform, making data a strategic asset in the industrial's own terms
  • Aker BP is Cognite's first customer and has 10% ownership

IMPROVE Digitalization in Aker BP

Developing use cases on the data platform… …and progressing key digital initiatives

Remote operations Ivar Aasen

Unmanned Wellhead Platform Concept

PUSH

Automated well design and autonomous drilling

Digital logistics

IMPROVE The Framo story

Sharing operational data with equipment manufacturer

  • Framo is a leading supplier of pumping systems
  • Framo is using Ivar Aasen as a case for exploring remote operations with live data access (free of charge) through the Cognite system
  • The purpose is to develop diagnostic capability and to identify further improvements on its equipment packages for future projects

Illustration source: Framo website

IMPROVE Supporting offshore operations using tablets and AR

Cognite Operations Support

Current features

  • Computer vision to read equipment tags
  • Live sensor data feed
  • Locate failing equipment in interactive 3D model
  • Shows all relevant information available

Roadmap for more functionality

  • Interactive P&IDs
  • Additional information sources continuously added
  • Navigation on walk path to equipment
  • Augmented reality to overlay equipment data
  • Expert support live video feed on tablet
  • Work order process integrated into portable device
  • Maintenance planning optimization (timing and walking routes)
  • Capture images of equipment to enable time lapse of critical equipment
  • Update 3D model based on scans from application

IMPROVE Ivar Aasen digital operations model

Aker BP's laboratory for developing the digital oil field

  • Digital twin based on live data from the Cognite data platform
  • Digital tools, e.g. Cognite Operations Support
  • Integrate OEMs in operations, e.g. Framo
  • Predictive maintenance based on machine learning on top of Cognite platform
  • Automation of repetitive tasks
  • New business models for sourcing products and services
  • Remote operations to reduce waste and increase quality

IMPROVE PUSH – Digital project execution

  • Joint collaboration between Aker Solutions and Aker BP where the objective is to radically improve the way offshore projects are engineered
  • Developing digital tools to reduce execution time by 25 percent and reduce costs from discovery to operations
  • Initial focus on front end and platform solutions
  • PUSH will ultimately provide a digital red thread from engineering to operations
  • Generate 3D digital twin of the platform
  • Accessing historical data and drawings: Re-using design properties and information to save engineering cost
  • PUSH is currently being tested and implemented in the NOAKA project
  • Master equipment list for concept studies
  • Automated topside weight estimation
  • Automated generation of topside 3D layouts

Accellerating the transition to fully digitized field development projects

IMPROVE Data liberation and sharing will improve NCS competitiveness

High degree of rework in subsurface projects and limited ability to benchmark performance of equipment and assets

  • Inaccessible data in a world of silos
  • Poor quality and not standardized formats
  • Locked in applications
  • Specialized systems not using open source limit open innovation
  • Limited sharing, and "internal data" below critical mass

Current state Desired state

Faster maturation of subsurface projects and faster learning enabled by industry benchmarks

  • All data consumable with open API standards feasible for big data analytics
  • Separation of data and applications
  • Sharing of data across the value chain and between peers
  • Open source software
  • Sharing of workflows

GROW Targeting an area solution for NOAKA

  • Statoil, LOTOS and Aker BP have agreed to establish an area forum to evaluate a joint area development for North of Alvheim* and Krafla/Askja (NOAKA)
  • Two area solutions to be evaluated;
  • PQ alternative with a field hub with processing platform in the middle of the area
  • UPP x 2 alternative with two unmanned processing platforms, one in Krafla/Askja area and one in the North of Alvheim area
  • Gross resources in the area estimated to be in excess of 500 mmboe
  • Including tie-in from Frigg and Rind
  • Concept selection targeted for Q1-18

GROW Aker BP assessment of NOAKA

  • Maturing of selected concept towards DG2 should be based on concept that facilitates for highest area resource recovery
  • The NOAKA area is prospective with a lot of possible future tie-ins from exploration prospects
  • Unrisked exploration resources in the area is estimated to about 400 mmboe
  • PQ alternative will include a processing platform located centrally in the area within effective reach of existing and new discoveries
  • The PQ alternative have an acceptable break-even price and high value creation
  • Low risk development with PQ platform based on conventional design and proven technology
  • Area fields developed as subsea or unmanned wellhead platforms with tie-back to the PQ platform
  • Power to be supplied from shore

GROW | EXPLORATION NCS production stable to 2025 – then what?

Decline after 2025 – possible to mitigate?

  • Postponement to 2025 by upsides in fields and discoveries
  • Yet to Find in known basins and unopened basins

NCS robust in several demand scenarios

  • Offshore less hit by global peak demand than unconventionals
  • Based on cost curve, NCS more competitive than other offshore

Exploration thriving on the NCS GROW | EXPLORATION

Aker BP 2018 exploration campaign

  • Skewed towards frontier prospects
  • 12 exploration wells
  • Risked pre drill estimates ranging from 50 – 150 mmboe net to Aker BP

Trends

  • Exploration well cost reduced by ~50 %
  • Development cost reduced significantly
  • Increased area of influence for cluster developments
  • Digitalisation will further strengthen cost reduction trend

Barents Sea: A long term game GROW | EXPLORATION

  • Disappointing exploration wells in 2017
  • Continued exploration on new plays/areas in 2018

Barents Sea still above global exploration average:

GROW | EXPLORATION Northern areas - Exploration campaign 2018

Barents Sea

  • Stangnestind megaclosure, new play
  • Svanefjell possible high-impact well
  • Four partner wells, diversified targets

Skarv

Kvitungen Tumler – potential high value creation

GROW | EXPLORATION North Sea: Increasing value of producing assets - Establishing new fields

Twofold Exploration task:

Deliver high value volumes to Aker BP production hubs 1

  • Alvheim
  • Ula
  • Valhall

Reveal hydrocarbon accumulations to establish new core areas 2

  • Sleipner Area possible new hub
  • Raudåsen
  • Possible new APA 2017 well

GROW | EXPLORATION The producing assets – how to create high value

Exploration within tie-in radius to producing assets

  • Even small discoveries close to existing fields create large values
  • Require unified seismic data sets covering the entire area of interest
  • Invested USD 10 million in new 3D data in southern North Sea (out of total USD 50 million)
  • Value creation example: Minimum economic field size near Ula is 5 mmboe
