Democratizing Access to Science –Reservoir Simulation in the Cloud

Lower Oil Prices – the new reality

Reliability

Efficiency

TechnologyIntegrationReliability – Technical challenges demand access to the best scienceIntegration – Users demand solutions tightly integrated with their workflowEfficiency – Operators are universally challenged to do more with less

Democratize access – improve customer access to technology

What is INTERSECT? – most accurate and reliable reservoir simulator

INTERSECT allows engineers to accurately and efficiently model• Complex geological

structures• Highly heterogeneous

formations• Challenging wells and

completion configurations • Advanced production

controls

Why INTERSECT in the cloud?

Most accurate and reliable

Democratize access – improve customer access to technology

Why HPC in Cloud?Existing scenarios:

Managed Scale

Elastic Pay for use

New possibilities:

Unlimited INTERSECT in the cloud – available this quarter

Subscription provides

Value of INTERSECT in the cloud – contrasting on-prem with cloud

INTERSECT on premise INTERSECT in the cloud

HPC Hardware procurement Get approvals (weeks-months) No HPC hardware required

Capital Outlay CAPEX for hardware, $$$ No CAPEX required

Commitment Long-term commitment No commitment required

Total planning time required Months Days

Flexibility to increase compute or software licenses

Long cycle (repeat steps above) Easy to implement (hours)

Remote access Complex VPN required Works anywhere with Internetaccess – even with hotel wi-fi

Value of INTERSECT in the cloud – results

INTERSECT on premise INTERSECT in the cloud

How well does it perform? – overhead is 3-7% of total job time

Data submission and Retrieval is approx. 7% of workflow

For larger models this reduces to approx. 3% of workflow

Azure scales consistently for 6M, 25M, and 75M cell models

Huge infrastructure scale is the enabler19 Regions ONLINE…huge datacenter capacity around the world…and we’re growing

100+ datacenters One of the top 3 networks in the world (coverage, speed, connections)

AES-256Data

Encryption

Data not left in the

cloud

Application Access

Management

Highly secure system for managing identities, along with support for delegation of administration to customers.

Strong standard for data encryption

Customer is the owner and holder of the private encryption key, which is not accessible by cloud providers or Schlumberger

Customer data is not stored in the Cloud and is deleted immediately it is delivered to the customer’s desktop

Data Deletion is recorded for verification

Access control and multi-factor authentication brings one more layer of security when data is submitted

Governance SSAE-16

Subject to regular independent audits.

Compliance with required policies and standards including SSAE16, ISO 27001

Current project status – beta testing

Beta test ongoing in Europe &

North America

Commercial launch this

quarter
