Smart Oilfield Safety Net - An Intelligent System for Integrated Asset Integrity Management

In smart oilfields, a large volume of data is being generated related to assets, personnel, environment, and other production and business-related processes on a daily basis. Storing vast amounts of data is only justifiable if it leads to the discovery of actionable insights which can then be translated into improvements in operational efficiency and Health, Environment, and Safety (HES) conditions. Smart oilfield data is of high volume, variety, and velocity and can be located in multiple data silos. This presents an urgent need to develop scalable and extensible techniques that can enable domain experts to access data and perform analytics to yield better decisions and results. The focus of this paper is on the process of Asset Integrity Management and the role of Semantic Web technologies for significantly improving decision-making in this domain. The most significant challenges, thus, are to manage the high volumes of data, create a holistic view of asset integrity data, allow intuitive access to the data, and generate insights through an agile system that can be utilized by domain experts without requiring extensive assistance from IT experts. For this, we present the Smart Oil Field Safety Net (SOSNet) system, a Semantic Web-driven platform, that performs integration of asset integrity data, provides simplified querying mechanism for accessing the integrated data and facilitates analytics on top of it to improve efficiency and robustness of the process of Asset Integrity Management.
