Introduction
This document is a deliverable from the Integrated Information Platform for reservoir and subsea production systems (IIP) project to Statoil’s Tyrihans field development project. It contains two tables giving the terminology for subsea equipment and subsea production data recommended by the IIP project.
The terminology has been developed and modeled in ISO 15926 Part 4 - Reference Data Library (RDL).
The document also contains a description of ISO 15926 (both the data model and the RDL), a description of the IIP project, and an explanation on how to use the terminology.
ISO 15926 general description
The scope of ISO 15926 can be divided into two main categories
1. Support exchange of data between computer systems without loss of, or confusion in the semantic meaning of data.
2. To provide a platform for integration of life cycle data across multiple applications and across disciplines.
Data integration is combining information derived from several independent sources into one coherent data set. Because independent sources often have overlapping scopes, combining the data requires overlaps to be recognized, duplications to be removed, and possibly new data to be represented. To succeed in the role of integration, a data model must have a context that includes all the possible data wanted or required.
To support this, ISO 15926 defines a generic and conceptual data model that is independent of any particular industry and application, and a Reference Data Library (RDL) that extends the data model to include the specific needs of any industry or application. The conceptual model defines the rules for describing ‘things’ and basic semantics, while the Reference Data (RD) extends the semantics into specific industries or business areas by establishing a set of terminology that is used to describe object types in specific industries. Where industries are using same types of objects, e.g. pipes, cables, steel profiles etc., RD can be reused across industries. Whenever a term is used across industries/disciplines with different meanings the process of establishing the RD ensures unambiguous terminology. This is required both for unambiguous exchange of data and for integration of data for an actual project. A consequence of this approach is that data is defined independent of applications. This approach therefore also supports the introduction of new work processes and business process reengineering.
The generic and conceptual design of ISO 15926 allows for extensions to cover new areas by only adding new RD.
To ensure that the data necessary for a particular type of objects or subject area is covered, Product Models (PM) using Reference Data are established for the relevant types of products. These PMs can be seen as templates for the types or groups of data required for the actual type of product. The intention is that these PMs shall describe all data required for a type of product over its life cycle. If additional applications need to be supported, the actual PMs could be extended by adding the additional RD required to fully supporting the requirements of the additional application. This results in integrating the data needs for the new application with the data needs that have already been defined for existing applications. PMs may be defined for types of mechanical products, systems, documents, reservoirs, organizations and activities. In this manner records are built for what is known about a type of object.
Integrated Information Platform FOR RESERVOIR AND SUBSEA PRODUCTION SYSTEMS (IIP) project
The IIP project is a three year project which commenced in June 2004. It is funded by the Norwegian Research Council and the project participants.
The IIP project has the objective of identifying an optimal set of real time data from reservoirs, wells and subsea production facilities, partially improving and integrating this information to provide an open and standardised information platform using ISO 15926-2.
The project will be enabled by integrating the ontologies from several industrial data and technical standards and adding these ontologies to ISO 15926-4 (Reference Data Library). The number of information types and the broad scope of this integration in an open solution make this project unique. In addition, safety requirements according to the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) will be met.
The IIP project focus is to support integration of applications related to subsea oil&gas exploration and production. In order to support this, the project is developing PMs for reservoir and subsea production systems by using information from the following areas:
- Geometry and topology
- Seismic
- Drilling (WITSML)
- Reservoir characterization
- Production
- Safety and automation system
- Subsea equipment
- Reliability and maintenance (ISO 14224)
- Reservoir uncertainty.
The intention is to cover data required for any application, but at this stage only alpha-numeric data is covered. 3D geometry may be added at later stage.
The terminology included in this document is a part of the model – or Reference Data Library - developed in the project. The library is the IPR of the POSC Caesar Association and is intended for future standardization at ISO. The standardization process in ISO has not yet been completed; hence some changes might occur due to comments from other ISO members. These changes will be handled and documented by the IIP project.
The Tyrihans field, where Statoil is the operator is used as a case in the project. The specifications from Tyrihans have been used for selecting an initial set of terms for subsea equipment. This set has been further generalized; mainly by including additional terms defined in ISO 13628 “Petroleum and natural gas industries – Design and operation of subsea production systems”.
How to use the terminology
The types of data that are used when describing ‘things’ can be classified as either data about ‘objects’ or ‘properties’ related to objects.
Each type of object and property is documented in this document using:
A term
A definition
A typical PM for a wellhead with Christmas tree is shown in figure 1 below. Examples of terminology related to the Christmas tree are shown in table 1 and table 2.
[pic]
Figure 1: Drawing of a wellhead with Christmas tree. Names of some objects, or parts thereof, are shown in boxes. Properties are in italic.
All objects are arranged in super-subtype hierarchies where the more specialized object is a subtype of a more generic object. This can bee seen from the example table, Table 1, which follow.
In Table 1 it should be clear that a “Subsea horizontal Christmas tree” is a subtype of a “HORIZONTAL CHRISTMAS TREE” which again is a subtype of a “CHRISTMAS TREE”. Note that a “SUBSEA HORIZONTAL CHRISTMAS TREE” is also a subtype of a “SUBSEA CHRISTMAS TREE”; the second specialization is recorded in the RDL, but has been left out in the documentation table to try to limit the size of the table.
Table 1: A typical record documenting Christmas tree types:
|TERM |DEFINITION |
|CHRISTMAS TREE |An artefact that is an assembly of pipes and piping parts, with valves and |
| |associated control equipment that is connected to the top of a wellhead and is|
| |intended for control of fluid from a well. |
| |HORIZONTAL CHRISTMAS TREE |A Christmas tree configured with the master valves and flow-control equipment |
| | |on a horizontal axis to minimize the assembly height. |
| | |SUBSEA HORIZONTAL CHRISTMAS TREE |A horizontal Christmas tree design for subsea applications. The valves can be |
| | | |both bolted on or built in. |
| | |SURFACE HORIZONTAL CHRISTMAS TREE |A horizontal Christmas tree design for surface (dry land) applications. The |
| | | |valves are normally bolted on. |
| |VERTICAL CHRISTMAS TREE |A Christmas tree configured with the master valves and flow-control equipment |
| | |on a vertical axis that is the main axis of the tree. |
| | |SUBSEA VERTICAL CHRISTMAS TREE |A vertical Christmas tree design for subsea applications. The valves are |
| | | |normally built-in as part of the tree. |
| |SUBSEA CHRISTMAS TREE |A christmas tree for use in a subsea environment. Will normally comprise a |
| | |hollow, pressure rated body with the valves either built in or bolted on. |
| |CHRISTMAS TREE 10K |A Christmas tree rated for a pressure of 10 000 PSI (69,0 MPa) |
| |CHRISTMAS TREE 15K |A Christmas tree rated for a pressure of 15 000 PSI (103,5 MPa) |
| |CHRISTMAS TREE 5K |A Christmas tree rated for a pressure of 5 000 PSI (34,5 MPa) |
| |SURFACE CHRISTMAS TREE |A Christmas tree for use on land. Will normally comprise a number of assembled|
| | |parts, e.g. casing spools, with the valves bolted onto the outside. |
The two dimensional structure in the tables of this document is only suitable to show the specialization hierarchy, as shown in the example in Table 1. In the Reference Data Library (RDL) other relations between objects are recorded. As shown in the example in Table 2, a “HORIZONTAL CHRISTMAS TREE” will normally have parts called a “CHRISTMAS TREE CAP”, “WELL PRODUCTION TUBING ASSEMBLY”, “WELL CASING ASSEMBLY”, “CASING HANGER” and “CHRISTMAS TREE VALVES” which again might be “ANNULUS VENT VALVE”, “ANNULUS MASTER VALVE”, “ANNULUS WING VALVE”, “ANNULUS CIRCULATION VALVE”, “CROSS OVER VALVE”, “CHEMICAL INJECTION VALVE”, “PRODUCTION MASTER VALVE” or “PRODUCTION WING VALVE”, and so on. These kinds of relations are not shown explicit in the terminology tables, but they exist in the RDL. An example might be clarifying: If a user is looking for the term “CASING HANGER” it will probably not be found under “HORIZONTAL CHRISTMAS TREE” in the terminology of this document. In stead it will be found under the less specialized term STRING HANGER”, which is the “super class” of “CASING HANGER”. In the RDL, however, the user will be able to look up “HORIZONTAL CHRISTMAS TREE” and see that “CASING HANGER” is a part of it.

Improvement TO the terminology
Discussable or faulty terms and definitions in the terminology will occur. Useful terms and definitions might lack, or the naming or definitions in existing terms might be imprecise or faulty. Cases like this should be reported back to Statoil, who will see to that the issues are handled by the IIP project.

| | |YYYY-MM-DD |A date format in the format 2004-12-27. |
|IDENTIFIER |A term which is sufficiently unique within a context to identify an object. |
| |IDENTIFICATION CODE |An identifier which is encoded according to some convention. Typically but not necessarily |
| | |concatenated from parts each with a meaning. |
| |NAME |An identifier which is the utterance or expression by which an object e.g. a thing, person, |
| | |organisation, place, etc. is known or spoken to or of. |
| | |CODE |A name which is structured according to some coding rule |
|INFORMATION |A set of one or more facts about something. |
| |COMMENT |An information content which is written criticism or explanation. |
|ISO/IS 15926-4 SINGLE_PROPERTY_DIMENSION |A 'property_space' that is a single and complete continuum of properties each of which maps |
| |to a single number. |
| |RATIO |A measure which is the relation between two similar magnitudes in respect to the number of |
| | |times the first contains the second, integrally or fractionally. |
|MASS | |
| |GAS MASS | |A mass that is the mass of a quantity gas. |
| |LIQUID MASS | |A mass that is the mass of a quantity liquid. |
|OPERATING STATE |A concept of state which states a set of conditions under which an object or systems is |
| |expected to operate. |
|OPERATOR |Type of limit represented by a class of Characteristic. |
| |AVERAGE |An Operator that is the result obtained by adding several amounts together and then dividing|
| | |the total by the number of amounts. |
| |LOWER LIMIT |An operator that is a lower bounded range of quantities. |
| |UPPER LIMIT |An operator indicating that the Characteristic Class represents the largest allowable |
| | |quantity. |
|PRESSURE |Force perpendicular to the area divided by area. p = dF/dA where dF is the perpendicular |
| |component of the force acting on the area element dA. The pressure is positive when the |
| |force is acting into the area. |
| |AVERAGE PRESSURE |A pressure which is the quotient obtained by dividing the total sum of a set of pressure |
| | |measurements by the total number of measurements. |
| |DESIGN PRESSURE |A pressure which an object is designed to withstand. |
| |MEASURED PRESSURE |A pressure which is a readout from an instrument (e.g. pressure transmitter). |
| |OPERATING PRESSURE |A pressure under which an object is expected to operate |
| |LOWER LIMIT PRESSURE |A pressure which is the lowest allowable pressure. |
| |UPPER LIMIT PRESSURE |A pressure which is the highest allowable pressure. |
|(QUANTITY) |(Not in library) |
| |UPPER LIMIT QUANTITY |A quantity which is the highest allowable. |
| |AVERAGE QUANTITY |A quantity which is the quotient obtained by dividing the total sum of a set of quantity |
| | |measurements by the total number of measurements. |
|SIGNAL |A detectable physical quantity or impulse (as a voltage, current, or magnetic field strength) by |
| |which messages or information can be transmitted. |
|RATE |A property meaning a number of events happening over time. |
| |EROSION RATE | |A rate which states the decrease in thickness caused by erosion with respect to time. |
| |FLOW RATE | |A flow of substance pr unit time. |
|TEMPERATURE |The degree or intensity of heat or cold as measured on a thermometric scale, and a measure of |
| |whether two systems are relatively hot or cold with respect to one another. Two systems brought |
| |into contact will, after sufficient time, be in thermal equilibrium |
| |CELSIUS TEMPERATURE |t = T - To where To is defined as being equal to 273,15K |
| |FAHRENHEIT TEMPERATURE | |
| |MEASURED TEMPERATURE |A temperature which is a readout from an instrument (e.g. thermometer). |
| |UPPER LIMIT TEMPERATURE |A temperature which is the highest allowable temperature, i.e. which is not to be exceeded. |
|TO REDUCE |To diminish in size, amount, extent, or number |
|VOLUME |V = tripple integral (dx.dy.dz) where x, y and z are cartesian coordinates |
| |GAS VOLUME | |A volume of gas obeying the physical law of gases. |
| |LIQUID VOLUME | |A volume which contains a liquid. |
| |SOLIDS VOLUME | |A volume which is the volume of solids. |
|VOLTAGE |An electrical potential or potential difference expressed in volts. |
|WEIGHT |The weight of a body in a specific reference system is the force which, when applied to the body, |
| |would give it an acceleration equal to free fall in that reference system |
| |DRY WEIGHT |A weight of an object excluding any operating or process fluids. |
