7.2 Reporting Entity Kinds

Topic Version1Published12/09/2016
For StandardPRODML v2.0

The behavior of reporting entities according to kind is not enforced; for example, there is nothing in the schema to restrict well tests to being associated only to reporting entities whose kind is “well”.

The Category column in this table is not a schema feature; it is provided here for information and guidance only. Three categories are used for the reporting entity kinds: Asset, Geographic, and Organizational.

Kind

Description

Category

platform

A single platform.

Asset

tank

A single tank.

Asset

terminal

A physical object that is an industrial facility for the storage of oil and/or petrochemical products and from which these products are usually transported to end users or further storage facilities.

Asset

well

A single well, possibly with many wellbores (side tracks). Optionally, it can reference a WITSML well object.

Asset

wellbore

A single wellbore (side track) within a well. Optionally, it can reference a WITSML wellbore object.

Asset

Contact Interval

Represents the details of a single physical connection between well and reservoir, e.g., the perforation details, depth, and reservoir connected. Meaning: this is the physical nature of a connection from reservoir to wellbore. Optionally, it can reference a WITSML ContactInterval class within the wellboreCompletion object.

Asset

Wellbore Completion

Each wellbore completion represents a flowing connection between wellbore and reservoir. It contains contact Intervals, which reference the physical aspects of these connections detailed in downholeComponents. Optionally, it can reference a WITSML wellboreCompletion object.

Asset

Well Completion

The well completion data object represents a “flow” or “stream” from the well (e.g., from a wellhead port) that is associated with a set of wellbore completions. When there is more than one such wellbore completion, the flows from them commingle in the well (the wellbore completions may be located in multiple wellbores). The well completion represents this commingled flow. Optionally, it can reference a WITSML wellCompletion object.

Asset

flow meter

A single flow meter.

Asset

pipeline

A fluid conductor that consists of pipe, possibly also including pumps, valves, and control devices, intended for conveying liquids, gases, or finely divided solids.

Asset

gas plant

A facility that processes natural gas to achieve the recovery of natural gas liquids and/or removal of contaminants.

Asset

facility

A generic label for a facility that is not described by the other physical reporting entity kinds.

Asset

production processing facility

A single production processing facility.

Asset

FPSO

Floating production, storage and offloading facility.

Asset

oil tanker

An oil tanker, a vessel that could be a barge, or a sea-going ship.

Asset

tanker truck

A truck which carries oil.

Asset

country

A single country.

Geog

county

A single county.

Geog

field

A single field.

Geog

formation

A bed or deposit composed throughout of substantially the same kind of rock.

Geog

rock-fluid unit feature

A fluid phase plus one or more stratigraphic units. A unit may correspond to a pair of horizons that are not adjacent stratigraphically, e.g., a coarse zonation, and is often used to define the reservoir. Available to match reported production to the rock-fluid feature in RESQML. Optionally, it can reference a RESQML rock-fluid unit feature object.

Geog

state

A single state or province.

Geog

field - part

An area or zone that forms part of a field.

Geog

reservoir

A single reservoir.

Geog

company

A company name that is the name of the operator company.

Org

lease

A single lease.

Org

license

A regulatory agreement that gives the licensees exclusive rights to investigate, explore, and recover petroleum deposits within the geographical area and time period stated in the agreement.

Org

commercial entity

An organizational construct through which a group of organizations or facilities are aggregated as if it were a single organization.

Org

Part III: Fluid and PVT Analysis

File code = “PRO-PVT”

Part III contains Chapters 8 Introduction to Fluid and PVT Analysis Data Objects through 12 Appendix for Fluid and PVT Analysis , which explain the set of PRODML data objects for fluid and PVT analysis.
