With new work processes being implemented at a record pace, real-time drilling data is becoming more and more used throughout the industry. But how do we resolve the data-management challenge introduced by these new work processes? And how do we organize in order to ensure that we enable an important key feature of Integrated Operations: Quality decisions onshore funded on the best datasets available at any given time.

This presentation will show how we are approaching these challenges in StatoilHydro, touching on the following key factors:
- which new data management challenges are introduced by real-time drilling data, and how do we approach these challenges?
- how to organize in order to make real-time data available for all drilling operations.
- how to ensure quality deliverables all the way from the down hole sensors to the end-users?.in real-time!

The descriptions and solution proposals given in this presentation is based on experiences from having provided centralized real-time services to StatoilHydro?s assets since 2002.
