Wellsite Information Transfer Specification

Introduction

The WELLSITE INFORMATION TRANSFER SPECIFICATION (WITS) is a communications format

used for the transfer of a wide variety of wellsite data from one computer system to another. It is a
recommended format by which Operating and Service companies involved in the Exploration and
Production areas of the Petroleum Industry may exchange data in either an online or batch transfer mode.

WITS is a multi-level format which offers an easily achieved entry point with increasingly flexible
higher levels. At the lower levels, a fixed format ASCII data stream is employed, while, at the highest
level, a self-defining customizable data stream is available.

A WITS data stream consists of discrete data records. Each data record type is generated independently
of other data record types and each has a unique trigger variable and sampling interval. The rig activity
usually determines which records are applicable at any given time such that only appropriate data is
transmitted.

WITS also incorporates the means for a remote computer system to send instructions to the sending
system in order to set or change certain parameters, including the type of data transmitted and the interval
for transmission.

As well as specifying a format for data transmission, WITS also defines a basic set of pre-defined records
to which user-defined record types may be added.

WITS has been used extensively for a number of years by working for many operators around the world
to facilitate information-sharing and to provide data to remote monitoring facilities.

Background

Over the years many Operating and Service companies developed proprietary formats for electronic data

exchange. When a new working relationship was established between a Service company and an
Operator, new software often had to be written, followed by extensive testing and debugging before the
data collection and analysis systems of the two entities could communicate with one another correctly.
This often led to problem start-ups with the resulting loss of time and data. The ongoing development
and maintenance of these formats represented a significant expenditure.

The cost and complexity of format matching and modification often led to a reluctance on the part of
some Operators to get involved in this type of service, and a great deal of rig data, which might have
been extremely useful in rig performance evaluation, drilling monitoring and control, and formation
evaluation while drilling, was often not collected or was not readily available to decision makers.

In an attempt to resolve this information transfer problem, the Wellsite Information Transfer
Specification was established .

A number of Operating and Service company representatives with wide experience in the areas of
computer software system development, geology and drilling engineering formed the first workgroup to
look into the needs of the industry in this area. All were familiar with the problems associated with the
profusion and mismatch of rig data formats.

To ensure that any format proposed was both complete and acceptable to the industry as a whole, a
vigorous effort was made to involve representatives from as many Operating and Service companies as
possible. This effort included correspondence with companies operating in Europe and Asia as well as
the United States.

The goal of the work group was broad but concrete:

"To define the format and information content of the

data stream transmitted from a wellsite to a central

site by telecommunications facilities or hard media".

To minimize omissions in the format, a major effort was made to obtain an inventory of data items
monitored or collected at the wellsite in the following areas:

● Geology
● Drilling Engineering
● Measurement While Drilling (MWD)
● Rig Parameters
● Cementing
● Drill Stem Testing

 Wellsite Information Transfer Specification

Companies providing data collection services in these areas were polled for data items and formats
currently in use. Concurrent with the effort, the group's members familiarized themselves with the major
existing formats and data transmission systems in use in the industry. With a comprehensive data
dictionary established and with representatives on the subcommittee familiar with existing formats,
careful consideration led to a set of requirements which, it was hoped, would satisfy the present and
future needs of both Operating and Service companies. Among these requirements were:

● achievable by both small and large companies

● adaptable to the needs of the industry over the course of time as technology changes
● offer a simple, low cost entry point
● limit long term software support costs
● employ an efficient mode of transmission
● be capable of use in both online and in batch modes
● be capable of implementation on a wide range of computer platforms
● meet the needs of both the single remote user and the multi-rig data center
● encompass existing standards (official or "de facto") where possible
● address international as well as domestic needs

With these requirements in mind, the subcommittee adopted the Log Information Standard (LIS) as the
basic framework for WITS and set about formulating the specific components of the format. LIS was
chosen since it met many of the requirements set out for WITS and was a well established and familiar
method of data exchange (a "de facto" standard in the wireline industry).

The WITS Steering Group is also a member of the API Petroleum Information Data Exchange (PIDX).
The API-PIDX WITS User Group exists to promote the format, respond to questions of interpretation,
and to investigate ways of enhancing the format to meet new requirements in the future.

WITS Transmission Levels

The following summarizes the various levels of WITS:

Level 0
Also known as "Intra Rig Transfer Specification", this involves a very basic ASCII transfer
format intended primarily for sharing of information between service companies, though lending
itself well as a simple entry point into wellsite data transfer. Data items are identified by a
numeric string tying the value to a particular location within a Pre-Defined Record, or to an
agreed upon addition to the Data Dictionary.

 Wellsite Information Transfer Specification

Level 1
In Level 1 and above, the data stream takes on a binary (LIS) format. Values are expressed in LIS-
defined representations (e.g. floating point, integer, string, etc) The data items are packaged into a
WITS Data Record and then sandwiched between LIS Physical and Logical Record Headers and
Trailers, to make up a LIS Data Record.

Twenty five Pre-Defined Records have been identified, covering, among other areas, drilling,
geology, directional work, MWD, cementing and testing. At Level 1, these data records,
generated at varying times and under varying rig conditions, are constructed and placed in the
data communications channel.

No LIS record types besides Data Records are used at this level. Each of the 25 Pre-Defined
Records has a fixed size in bytes. However, each contains designated 'spare' channels for limited
customization. The Pre-Defined Records are:

WITS Pre-Defined Record Types

2 Drilling - Depth Based Drilling data gathered at regular depth intervals
3 Drilling - Connections Data gathered at drilling connections

21 Bit Report Bit Report data
22 Comments Freeform Comments
23 Well Identification Well Identification data
24 Vessel Motion / Mooring Status Vessel Motion and Mooring Status data
25 Weather / Sea State Weather and Sea State data

Level 2
WITS Level 2 builds on Level 1 through addition of WITS bidirectional dialogue through the use
of LIS Comment records. This dialogue is used in synchronization at start up and after a
communications line interruption, as well as permitting two-way messaging between the sender
and receiver. Such messages might include requests for change in transmission intervals for
certain records, for example.

Level 2b
WITS Level 2b adds the option to buffer data that has been transmitted, making it available for re-
transmission in the event of non-receipt of data by the receiver.

Level 4
WITS Level 4 employs a completely different format than the previous levels since it is based on
the emerging data transfer standard of API RP66. The concepts of Pre-Defined Records and Bi-
Directional Dialogue remain, but using RP66 as the formatting mechanism.

RECORD # 8 : MWD FORMATION EVALUATION

WITS Record ID 8 Logical Record Type 158 Auto/Manual AUTOMATIC

Trigger [TIME], [DEPTH] or [TIME/DEPTH] Transmit at specified time interval (secs), depth interval (feet or
meters) based on hole depth when drilling new hole or making a new pass, or a combination of these.
Data Source Data acquired in real-time and computed over the trigger interval. Record transmitted and
computations reset when triggering interval occurs. If DEPTH-triggered, then only on-bottom data is included in
computations. Depths of MWD sensors transmitted in the record are the depths for the last valid reading for that
sensor. Record is not sent if not circulating or tool is not operating
