Abstract

Although there are some works applying semantic web technologies in oil, gas, and mining industry, most of them involve finding and analyzing the data from a variety of activities such as drilling, exploration and production. On the other hand, it is also possible to develop semantic web applications that may dramatically reduce cycle times and indirect costs. This work is a practice that bridges the gap between semantic web technologies and oil, gas, and mining industry. We propose a prototype drilling tools ontology. We populate the ontology focusing on drill bit concept as a starting point. In the population phase, we used existing spreadsheet documents, product catalogs and web pages containing product data. We document clearly what has been learned from the experience of building the ontology and how the experience can inform the work of other investigators. The same ontology population methods apply also to other products; therefore, the applicability of our work extends well beyond the specific products we are considering in our project. This ontology is also used in a prototype drill bit marketplace portal, which supports searching and comparing drill bits of different vendors.
