1 Introduction
2 About the Monthly Production Report
When daily activity and production data are reported between partners Both XML documents
(structured data), and human readable reports in pdf. format are available to partners and
operators from www.epim.no
2.1 Terminology
2.1.1 How to read the terminology
The types of data that are used when describing ‘things’ can be classified as either data about
‘objects’ or ‘properties’ related to objects.
Each type of object and property is documented in this document using a concept and a
definition. To explain how the concepts and definitions should be read by the user, the
terminology for a wellhead and christmas tree (valve tree) is used as an example.
Figure 2 illustrates a Product Model (PM) for a wellhead with Christmas tree. Examples of
terminology related to the Christmas tree are shown in table 1 and table 2.
Figure 2: Drawing of a wellhead with Christmas tree. Names of some objects, or parts
thereof, are shown in boxes. Properties are in italic.
All objects are arranged in super-subtype hierarchies where the more specialized object is a
subtype of a more generic object. This can bee seen from the example table, Table 1, which
follows.
From Table 1 it should be clear that a “Subsea horizontal Christmas tree” is a subtype of a
“HORIZONTAL CHRISTMAS TREE” which again is a subtype of a “CHRISTMAS TREE”.

Table 1: A typical record documenting christmas tree types:
CONCEPT
CHRISTMAS TREE
HORIZONTAL CHRISTMAS TREE
SUBSEA HORIZONTAL
CHRISTMAS TREE
SURFACE HORIZONTAL
CHRISTMAS TREE
VERTICAL CHRISTMAS TREE
SUBSEA VERTICAL CHRISTMAS
TREE
DEFINITION
An artefact that is an assembly of pipes and piping parts, with valves and
associated control equipment that is connected to the top of a wellhead
and is intended for control of fluid from a well.
A Christmas tree configured with the master valves and flow-control
equipment on a horizontal axis to minimize the assembly height.
A horizontal Christmas tree design for subsea applications. The valves
can be both bolted on or built in.
A horizontal Christmas tree design for surface (dry land) applications.
The valves are normally bolted on.
A Christmas tree configured with the master valves and flow-control
equipment on a vertical axis that is the main axis of the tree.
A vertical Christmas tree design for subsea applications. The valves are
normally built-in as part of the tree.
SUBSEA CHRISTMAS TREE
A christmas tree for use in a subsea environment. Will normally comprise
a hollow, pressure rated body with the valves either built in or bolted on.
CHRISTMAS TREE 10K
A Christmas tree rated for a pressure of 10 000 PSI (69,0 MPa)
CHRISTMAS TREE 15K
CHRISTMAS TREE 5K
A Christmas tree rated for a pressure of 15 000 PSI (103,5 MPa)
A Christmas tree rated for a pressure of 5 000 PSI (34,5 MPa)
SURFACE CHRISTMAS TREE
A Christmas tree for use on land. Will normally comprise a number of
assembled parts, e.g. casing spools, with the valves bolted onto the
outside.
The two dimensional structure in the tables of this document is only suitable to show the
specialization hierarchy, as shown in the example in Table 1. In the RDL other relations
between objects are recorded. As shown in the example in Table 2, a “HORIZONTAL
CHRISTMAS TREE” will normally have parts called a “CHRISTMAS TREE CAP”,
“WELL PRODUCTION TUBING ASSEMBLY”, “WELL CASING ASSEMBLY”,
“CASING HANGER” and “CHRISTMAS TREE VALVES” which again might be
“ANNULUS VENT VALVE”, “ANNULUS MASTER VALVE”, “ANNULUS WING
VALVE”, “ANNULUS CIRCULATION VALVE”, “CROSS OVER VALVE”,
“CHEMICAL INJECTION VALVE”, “PRODUCTION MASTER VALVE” or
“PRODUCTION WING VALVE”, and so on. These kinds of relations are not shown in the
terminology tables, but they exist in the RDL. An example might be clarifying: If a user is
looking for the concept “CASING HANGER” it will probably not be found under
“HORIZONTAL CHRISTMAS TREE” in the terminology of this document. Instead it will
be found under the less specialized concept STRING HANGER”, which is the “super class”
of “CASING HANGER”. In the RDL, however, the user will be able to look up
“HORIZONTAL CHRISTMAS TREE” and see that “CASING HANGER” is typically a part
of it.
Table 2:.Typical associations and properties made to a horizontal christmas tree:
CONCEPT
HORIZONTAL CHRISTMAS TREE
DEFINITION

The tubing hanger uses slips or a bolted flange to hold the tubing string
and fits as a wedge in the tubing head.
An artefact that consists of pipes assembled end to end which is
intended to line the walls of a drilled well.
WELL CASING STRING
WELL TUBING STRING
WELLHEAD HOUSING
An artefact that consists of lengths of pipe assembled end to end that
extends from a producing zone to the wellhead, and used in a well to
conduct fluids to the surface.
An artefact which is a thick-walled forged cylindrical pipe with one end
attached to the surface (normally 20") casing string and the other end
has couplings for connecting to a christmas tree.
2.2 MPR XML schemas
The current active version of the XML schemas for MPR is downloadable from EPIM’s
homepage (http://www.epim.no).
The schemas are compliant to the current active version of the Production Markup Language
(PRODML –http://www.prodml.org). The custodian of PRODML is the organization
Energistics (http://www.energistics.org).
The PCA RDL is used as a dictionary for the XML schemas. Elements in the schemas has
been linked to corresponding RDL classes with annotations according to the W3C standard
SAWSDL (http://www.w3.org/TR/sawsdl/ )
3 ISO 15926 general description
The scope of ISO 15926 can be divided into two main categories:
1. Support exchange of data between computer systems without loss of, or confusion in
the semantic meaning of data.
2. To provide a platform for integration of life cycle data across multiple applications
and across disciplines.
Data integration is combining information derived from several independent sources into one
coherent data set. Because independent sources often have overlapping scopes, combining the
5
data requires overlaps to be recognized, duplications to be removed, and possibly new data to
be represented. To succeed in the role of integration, a data model must have a context that
includes all the possible data wanted or required.
To support this, ISO 15926 defines a generic and conceptual data model that is independent of
any particular industry and application, and a Reference Data Library (RDL) that extends the
data model to include the specific needs of any industry or application. The conceptual model
defines the rules for describing ‘things’ and basic semantics, while the Reference Data (RD)
extends the semantics into specific industries or business areas by establishing a set of
terminology that is used to describe object types in specific industries. Where industries are
using same types of objects, e.g. pipes, cables, steel profiles etc., RD can be reused across
industries. Whenever a term is used across industries/disciplines with different meanings the
process of establishing the RD ensures unambiguous terminology. This is required both for
unambiguous exchange of data and for integration of data for an actual project. A
consequence of this approach is that data is defined independent of applications. This
approach therefore also supports the introduction of new work processes and business process
reengineering.
The generic and conceptual design of ISO 15926 allows for extensions to cover new areas by
only adding new RD.
To ensure that the data necessary for a particular type of objects or subject area is covered,
Product Models (PM) using Reference Data are established for the relevant types of products.
These PMs can be seen as templates for the types or groups of data required for the actual
type of product. The intention is that these PMs shall describe all data required for a type of
product over its life cycle. If additional applications need to be supported, the actual PMs
could be extended by adding the additional RD required to fully supporting the requirements
of the additional application. This results in integrating the data needs for the new application
with the data needs that have already been defined for existing applications. PMs may be
defined for types of mechanical products, systems, documents, reservoirs, organizations and
activities. In this manner records are built for what is known about a type of object.
