The AKSIO project is developing an integrated operations system to achieve cost efficient drilling and increased recovery from off-shore oilfields. The system will provide timely and contextual knowledge for work processes. It supports decision-making by con-tinuously updating an assessment of the drilling situation and ranking the available options for actions. AKSIO supports collabora-tive work in teams with members from the offshore platform, onshore operations centre, individual specialists, and suppliers. It links databases, applications, specialist knowledge networks, and real-time data from the field to a visual representation of the work process, situation, and decision context. The concept is to be demonstrated at an Onshore Support Centre (OSC), equipped with fiber-optic links to the field and state-of-the-art display and communication facilities.
