The standard XML schemas and corresponding reference data resulting from collaborative projects are under continuous development by the stakeholders in the Oil & Gas industry. The open standards' approach invites all stakeholders to [pca:wiki:HowToUseTickets propose improvements by submitting a ticket]. You can follow the development of the production standard in the: [wiki:CollaborationRoom Collaboration Room]. Here you can find all version of the XML schemas and the proposed changes.

The initial objective was to make the daily drilling reporting more efficient and consistent. This was done by developing a standard XML schema for the exchange of daily drilling reports. Elements in the XML schema are linked to concepts in the POSC Caesar Reference Data Library (RDL). The information scope of the first version covers the requirements from the authorities [http://www.ptil.no Petroleum Safety Authorities] and [http://www.npr.no Norwegian Petroleum Directorate] The first project is documented in a project report.
