THE VALUE OF EM
Customers use 3D EM data to:
• Provide early indications of hydrocarbon
prospectivity in frontier areas
• Test and rank seismic prospects
• Find bypassed and satellite fields
in mature areas
• Prioritize drilling locations
• Improve delineation of reservoirs
• Better understand geological features
such as salt, basalt and carbonates

Seismic flat spot indicates a potential reservoir.
CSEM MAPS RESISTIVITY – A KEY HYDROCARBON INDICATOR
• Sensitive to pore fluids and saturation
RESISTIVITY
An EM anomaly confirmed a seismic flat spot, both laterally and in depth. Therefore, the risk of
drilling a low-saturation, non-commercial reservoir was reduced. The subsequent well encountered
a good-quality gas reservoir with saturation of commercial potential.

THE EM FLEET
“ERP” IN EMGS
10 years in business – a case study of ERP development:
2004: Excel Spread Sheets
2005: Infor Datastream (5 vessels in operation)
2006: Lotus Notes QHSE MS
2007: IFS (Listed on OSX)
2007: Agresso (Passed 300 employees)
2008: STAR IPS and CPS replaces Infor Datastream and integrates with SBLWiz
2012: Intelex Technologies replaces Lotus Notes due to poor acceptance of by employees
2014: IFS to replace STAR?

PRODUCTION FOLLOW UP – KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
LESSONS LEARNED
LESSONS LEARNED
 Replication of databases via
SATCOM (256 kb/s) is challenging
•
Modern systems designed for broad
band internet
•
Most systems uses one central
database – design of tables need to
support replication
LESSONS LEARNED
 A full integrated ERP system or a
collection of multiples?
•
Several systems reduces risk – one
defect system doesn’t affect the entire
operation
•
User interface – for whom is the
system designed and by whom?
•
License management and costs?
•
Database integration - bridging
LESSONS LEARNED

Adapt to workflow or to solution?
•
Workflows / processes in small
companies are constantly shifting
•
Annual organisational changes
•
COTS solutions provides a quick
solution but is restricting innovation
LESSONS LEARNED

Knowhow about databases opens
for interaction with alternative /
temporary solutions
•
Spread sheets for Daily Progress
Report
•
Own developed EM - processing
software auto-generates WO in STAR
on Receivers with bad data.
•
Own developed hardware test tools in
LABVIEW
•
Integration with own developed tools
– resources
LESSONS LEARNED
 Implementation
• Ambitions set in the user requirement
specification process higher than the
organisations ability to achive.
• Avoid too complex systems - KISS
• Coding of equipment and type of failures
- lack of usable standards: step by step
work
• Definition of KPI’s and shifting objectives
• Standardisation of work flows
LESSONS LEARNED
 Training of employees
•
User interface depended
•
Use of roles – strip functionality down
to “need to have”
•
More challenging at
supervisor/manager level - leadership
•
Crew training is resource-demanding
LESSONS LEARNED
 Commitment
• Executive level: Reporting, decision
making
• Mid-manager / supervisor level:
Involvement, motivation, improvement
focus
• “Back deck” level follow ups – monthly
