The North West Shelf (NWS) interpreted as a Total
Petroleum System (TPS), is Super Westralian Basin with
active onshore and offshore basins through which shelf, -
slope and deep-oceanic geological events are construed. In
addition to their data associativity, TPS emerges with
geographic connectivity through phenomena of digital
petroleum ecosystem. The super basin has a multitude of
sub-basins, each basin is associated with several petroleum
systems and each system comprised of multiple oil and gas
fields with either known or unknown areal extents. Such
hierarchical ontologies make connections between
attribute relationships of diverse petroleum systems.
Besides, NWS has a scope of storing volumes of instances
in a data-warehousing environment to analyse and
motivate to create new business opportunities.
Furthermore, the big exploration data, characterized as
heterogeneous and multidimensional, can complicate the
data integration process, precluding interpretation of data
views, drawn from TPS metadata in new knowledge
domains. The research objective is to develop an
integrated framework that can unify the exploration and
other interrelated multidisciplinary data into a holistic TPS
metadata for visualization and valued interpretation.
Petroleum digital ecosystem is prototyped as a digital oil
field solution, with multitude of big data tools. Big data
associated with elements and processes of petroleum
systems are examined using prototype solutions. With
conceptual framework of Digital Petroleum Ecosystems
and Technologies (DPEST), we manage the
interconnectivity between diverse petroleum systems and
their linked basins. The ontology-based data warehousing
and mining articulations ascertain the collaboration
through data artefacts, the coexistence between different
petroleum systems and their linked oil and gas fields that
benefit the explorers. The connectivity between systems
further facilitates us with presentable exploration data
views, improvising visualization and interpretation. The
metadata with meta-knowledge in diverse knowledge
domains of digital petroleum ecosystems ensures the
quality of untapped reservoirs and their associativity
between Westralian basins
