PRESENTATION
2020 - Oil & Gas EMEA Virtual Industry Summit
Panel: Getting Your Foundations Right – Best Practices for Operational Data Management
This customer panel will feature speakers from iNNOVATEQ, Shell, and SBM Offshore. Moderated by Industry Principal Russell Herbert. The Oil & Gas industry is increasingly looking to move toward a data-driven and technology-focused way of working. Although in principle, this may sound relatively straightforward, the reality is that things have become a lot more complicated since many first deployed their real-time information technologies. Organizations now face many challenges of scale and performance, data quality, data silos, software integration, and cybersecurity. There is such a focus across the industry as to how best to support digital operations by means of industrial data lakes, cloud-based IIoT platforms, Digital Twins and advanced ‘Big Data’ predictive analysis that often the equally important, but definitely not as glamorous, topic of how best to manage all your industrial data if often overlooked and this can have a significant impact on the value and costs that can come from any digital programmes. In this panel discussion we will talk about how and why the industry now requires so much more than ever before from its real-time technology. We will discuss the evolution of the data historian and the importance of building robust strategies for the management of operational data. Panelists will give practical examples of best practice from their own organisations and share their own experiences around the value that can be realised when getting these critical digital foundations right is made an organisational priority.

SBM Offshore
Speaker
Jean Damien Rollier
After my master graduation, my first engineer job was at the SINTEF Energy Research Center in Trondheim (Norway) as a research Engineer. I went back to France to start a PHD for Renault at the Center for Energy and Processes of Paris Mines. During four years as a research engineer, I worked on “Hydrogen synthesis by gasoline plasma reforming”. After my PHD, I did a post-doctoral research as a process engineer at the French Petroleum Institute “IFP”. There, I was modelling Natural Gas Steam reforming for a European project dealing with hydrogen generation system with CO2 sequestration. A nice experience, however the energy sector was not ready yet to use hydrogen as energy vector and to sequestrate carbon dioxide. I thus decided to move to the oil and gas industry and joined SBM Offshore in 2007 as research and development engineer. During 4 years, I worked on Offshore LNG technologies development and qualification. At this time, I decided to start a distance learning MBA with the Aberdeen Business School. I also moved to SBM operations closer to SBM FPSOs core business. Initially supporting the Brazilian fleet as FPSO engineer, then I quickly moved to Santos (BRASIL) as operations engineers for FPSO PARATY, then as technical superintendent for FPSO ILHABELA. After three years in Brazil and graduated with my MBA, SBM proposed me to return to Monaco office as project manager, to lead the digitalization of the current fleet under the asset integrity department. Since two years now, I am focusing, as Data Science department Manager, to develop and ramp-up Data science and artificial intelligence within SBM operations. Building a team from scratch and developing strategic partnerships.

iNNOVATEQ
Speaker
Riyadh Moosa
Riyadh is a petroleum engineer with 30 years of experience in the Petroleum industry. He has been instrumental in transforming PDO’s (Petroleum Development Oman) management of its Wells and Reservoirs through the adoption of Lean methodology. This is very unique in the industry, and has resulted in PDO achieving world-class operational and business performance levels, and being recognized by numerous industry awards regionally and internationally. Riyadh’s biggest contribution to PDO and the industry is Nibras; a digital-oil-field business solution. Through applying Lean principles, Riyadh spearheaded the growth of Nibras to become the nervous system of PDO: used to (so far) manage 15 assets, over 8,000 wells, 50% of its reservoirs and over a 1,000 surface facility equipment, through 1,900 users from 5 different disciplines. Nibras today saves 40% of the time of PDO engineers, reduces HSE exposure of field staff by at least 10% and generates 5% extra production from PDO. In 2018 Riyadh became the CEO of iNNOVATEQ, the first ever commercialization of a PDO innovation. iNNOVATEQ’s mission is to help companies accelerate their digital transformation journey through offering them Nibras and the learnings from PDO. This is also a national initiative which aims to enhance Oman’s reputation as an innovation hub and generate ICV (In-Country Value) for Oman. Riyadh has a B.S. in Chemistry from San Diego State University; and an M. Eng. and Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering from Heriot-Watt University.
