Paul Maton reported on membership of the work group, current status and plans.

Action Item: Paul Maton will include all companies that attended the November and January meeting in the list of those entitled to view the Geophysics SIG private web pages.
Paul presented the plan for the evaluation of work practive improvement opportunities, involving expanding participation internationally, progressing with the details of the assessment, developing the business plan and road map.
This was illustrated by a Gantt chart showing time-lines and completion of assessment by the end of Q1 of 2008.
Mr. P.S.N. Kutty raised the point that we are there is no progress in the project (we are at the same stage as beginning).
He stressed that we go ahead with study of the selected high-priority focus areas and demonstrate the same to other companies.

Dr. Maton indicated that Statoil, and ExxonMobil are known to have effective internal work processes and information management in use, and that several other companies are doing similarly.
3. Opportunity Evaluation Criteria
Dr. Maton stated that about 60 opportunities are listed by ONGC, along with a number of proposals for data specifications which would satisfy the ONGC requirements.
He reviewed the Impact versus Effort matrix, stressing the need to quantify impact in terms both of saving delay (in time terms of hr/days/weeks), as well as previously envisaged in terms of the number of subsequent API processes which would be improved by proposed standards and better work practices.
Metrics for assessing the Effort needed to develop standards and improved work processes includes specifying them; implementing them; and deploying them.
He proposed using an estimating technique borrowed from the Agile software development process in which a size of effort scale is adopted to cover the range from small to very large.
An analogy might be a scale for animals, where a mouse is the smallest (1), a dog is small (2-3), and an elephant is the largest (10), with a suitable number of points in between.
For our purposes, Paul suggested that the Low, Medium and High trialled in Mumbai was not granular enough and proposed we adopt an 'Agile - like' scale of 1,2,4,7, and 10.
...
Dr Maton advised the Assessment Work Group that immediate efforts by both study groups should be restricted to detailing requirements for content of Velocity and Header data sets.
