Past Approaches to Interactive Centers

Amoco, Superior, Tenneco, Mobil Oil, Pemex initially

pioneered real-time centers for drilling
Later, Chevron, PDVSA, AGIP and others continued
with similar centers (mainly for drilling)
Visualization centers evolved around 3-D G&G
and reservoir applications.
Some centers used real-time activities with other
centers

Challenge:

Improve operations and engineering

productivity and efficiency
Make 2-3 fold improvements

The Anadarko Operations Intelligence Center

Anadarkos Approach to Meet the Challenge

Creating an environment that:

Provides a collaborative learning setting

Provides an environment to expedite the learning curve

and quickly develop concept of technical limits
Leverages key technical expertise within the organization
as well as with others from around the Globe
Couples real time data from well site operations with interactive
communication and visualization technologies

Provides a virtual mentoring and training system
