Design and Development of Oilfield Exploration and Development Data Exchange Management Platform

Abstract

As the information age progresses and oilfield production deepens, information technology plays an increasingly pivotal role in oilfield production, scientific research, and management. Data quality and integrity have become key issues in both research and production. This study analyzes the architecture of data quality control methods based on the technical system of the OSDU (Open Subsurface Data Universe) sharing center. A virtual data layer (VDB) is introduced, and the overall architecture of the exploration and development data exchange management platform is constructed through collaborative technology. Employing a systematic design concept, all applications within the data exchange management architecture are organically combined, forming an integrated and cohesive design and development strategy. This research presents a novel approach where the system application is distinctly separated from the database management. This strategy effectively resolves the challenges associated with managing metadata in oilfield exploration. By designing the database and coding specifications, the development and deployment of the system are completed efficiently. The implemented system offers comprehensive functionalities to all oilfield levels, including data storage, auditing, querying, statistical analysis, and data exchange management. It facilitates the seamless exchange of diverse exploration and development data, ensuring scientific data management and establishing a foundation for shared scientific data. This enhances service quality and the level of exploration and development in the field. This paper focuses on the design and development of a data exchange management platform for oilfield exploration and development, using the oil and gas industry as a case study. The analysis of industry demands and technology supply within this context is crucial for advancing the exploration and development capabilities in oilfields.
