RFID in Oil & Gas Standards Workshop
ORGANISING COMMITTEE
The Global RFID Committee for Oil & Gas was
established in May 2013. Its members believe that RFID
technology has the potential to deliver significant
benefits, and are collaborating toward global
standardization. The committee also hopes to jointly
encourage the development of technologies that meet
the specific needs of the oil and gas industry’s business
and technical requirements, including the creation of
RFID equipment certified as intrinsically safe. The
purpose of this workshop is to establish committees
and a framework for achieving these goals.
The current working group consists of the companies listed below. Other major energy
firms are encouraged to participate as well.
Woodside Petroleum | BP | Total | Petrobras | Shell
DATE AND LOCATION
WORKSHOP ATTENDEES
The workshop will be held on Thursday, 14 Aug. 2014,
at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre, directly
following the inaugural RFID for Energy, Mining &
Construction conference and exhibition in Perth,
Western Australia. Seating is limited to 130 participants.
Anyone who has registered for the RFID in Energy, Mining and Construction or
LCI Australian Lean Construction events may attend.

09:15 Reducing Project Cost Through
Smarter Construction
The cost of construction in Australia has continued to
spiral upward in recent years, for a number of reasons.
There are significant consequences of below-par construction productivity, particularly when overseas competition is growing. Investors seek opportunities with
predictable outcomes, and will be drawn to other countries to conduct their business if they see a better playing field. The Australian manufacturing industry has
suffered several recent setbacks, with factory closures
and consequent unemployment. All economic signs point to the need
for solutions that improve productivity. Learn why collaboration, best
practices and innovative technologies, such as RFID, have enormous potential to boost productivity and improve the national competitive edge.
Speaker: Robert Edwardes, Executive VP of Development, Woodside
Petroleum
10:00 Bechtel Deploys RFID to Bring Visibility and
Cost Savings to Island Construction Projects
Using RFID technology to track materials as they move
through a complex localized supply chain is helping
Bechtel shorten cycle times, reduce costs and achieve
transactional benefits during material-handling activities
for the construction of three mega-sized industrial projects. The engineering, procurement and construction of
three liquified natural gas (LNG) plants on Curtis Island,
in Queensland, Australia—accessible only by water—
represents the greatest concentration of Bechtel projects anywhere in the world. The three LNG projects sit side by side, with
three separate owners, and all construction materials for these projects
must be loaded onto transport ferries and moved across a harbor before
they reach their intended final installation location. Learn how the use of
an RFID solution was a key component of meeting the construction schedule. And find out how employing RFID technology for material manage-

11:30 RFID in Petrobras Offshore Oil and Gas
Logistics: Past, Present and Future
Brazilian multinational energy corporation Petrobras
owns oil refineries and oil tankers, and is a major distributor of oil products. The company is a world leader in
the development of advanced technology from deep
and ultra-deep water oil production, with its research
and development activities centralized at the Leopoldo
Américo Miguez de Mello Research & Development
Center (CENPES), located in Rio de Janeiro. Learn how
the firm is testing the use of RFID technology, and what
is planned for the future.
Speaker: Roberto Cruz, Coordinator, Logistics Technology Program, Petrobras
12:15 Controlling Fly-In, Fly-Out Costs With RFID
A large resources industry company is deploying an
easy-to-use manifest tool for use in fly-in, fly-out personnel movement. The implementation involves the use of a
wristwatch-type RFID tag that enables a quick check-in
of personnel prior to boarding and after the necessary
safety screening. The system is providing the firm with a
log of personnel entering or leaving the screening area,
and creates an instantaneous printout of the personnel
manifest that is handed over to the pilot. The logged
data can be reviewed at any time, providing a reliable database of personnel movements that can be used by resource and transport companies
alike. Learn how the system has the potential to pay for itself quickly by
ensuring that safety is maintained without unnecessary delays that could
occur through no-shows or screening errors.
Speaker: Henk deGraaf, Managing Director, Industrial Automation Group

15:30 Enhancing Downhole Drilling Operations
Via RFID
Oil and gas drilling requires RFID systems that are operable in the harshest environments and can overcome
such issues as frequent extreme vibration, high pressure and temperature, harsh downhole fluids, and extended use and run times. Working collaboratively with
Marathon Oil and PetroWell, Weatherford developed a
drilling reamer that employs RFID technology to enable
multiple, on-demand activations or deactivations any
time during the drilling or tripping processes. To test activation or deactivation of a drilling reamer, a field trial was conducted on
the Casey Edward well, drilled by Marathon Oil in North Dakota. The
field trial, including a total of eight successful activations or deactivations, proved the tool operational. Learn how the drilling reamer reduces
operating time, as well as risk, and how overall drilling efficiency is increased and development economics are improved.
Speaker: Alex Goodwin, Global Business Development Manager,
Weatherford
16:15 Networking Break in Exhibit Hall
16:30 Logistics Company Uses RFID to Increase
Operational Efficiency
Patrick, one of Australia's leading providers of portrelated services to importers, exporters and shipping
lines, has implemented a container-tracking system on
a fleet of modified half-height containers that move
copper concentrate from a mine to a port. The tags are
read at the mine weighbridge, tracking the weight of
each container, which is then picked up at the port by
forklifts fitted with RFID readers and GPS receivers.
Learn how the technology is being used to deliver realtime visibility into the location of the containers as they move around the
port, enabling the firm to track exactly how much is loaded onto each ship.
Speaker: Dene Ladmore, Eastern Regional Manager, Patrick
17:15 RFID Strategies and Best Practices for End
Users in the Energy Industry
Despite its potential for driving business value, RFID creates significant
demands on an organization. Learn how to minimize risks while increasing the likelihood of a well-executed project. From early-stage analysis
through implementation, there are tools and methods that every corporate IT or project manager can use to ensure success.
