Rusty
Foreman, E&P Service Oriented Architecture, Program Manager,
BP
Rusty has worked in
the oil & gas industry for more than 25 years. The early
years were all about engineering operations and R&D but
gradually the focus shifted to application of computing technology
for the benefit of engineers and scientists exploring, drilling
or producing hydrocarbons. Current work is to define SOA for
the upstream part of the business and then instigate and facilitate
the transition away from current architectures.
Presentation SOA in BP Exploration & Production
No common definition or blueprint for SOA exists. Therefore each company must
determine for itself how SOA could provide value, what implementation would
look like, and the roadmap by which they would follow. This discussion will
focus on how the exploration and production business is addressing these questions.
