Abstract

Planning offshore oil & gas decommissioning requires decision making based on expert domain knowledge. As more tools are developed to assist planners in simulating operations, there is an increased need for data models that can accurately represent the domain. The application of semantic web technologies has recently been suggested as a possible method to achieve this. The following paper outlines the creation of an Offshore Decommissioning Oil & Gas Ontology (ODOGO) using the OWL 2 web ontology language. This initially proposed version focuses on representing offshore site data and acts as a precursor to the development of a decommissioning decision support tool. An explanation of the keyword analysis, data modelling and visualisation steps that were employed to produce the schema is given. Use of ODOGO is illustrated using a case study of a decommissioning project set in the North Sea. Results of this study confirm the capabilities of using semantic data models to manage data for the decommissioning domain.
