  • Patent number: 11225860
    Abstract: The present disclosure introduces methods and systems for capturing knowledge and experience of wellsite operators. Sensors at a wellsite generate sensor data during a wellsite operation. Operator data indicative of human actions performed at the wellsite during the wellsite operation are also generated. The sensor and operator data is synchronized to capture job experience and knowledge pertaining to the wellsite operation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10740730
    Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to a method for managing a workflow for an oilfield operation. The method may include receiving a request to perform the task workflow. The method may also include loading an adapted task workflow based on historical information. The method may further include receiving an input pertaining to one or more tasks of the adapted task workflow. In addition, the method may include determining whether the one or more tasks have been completed based on the received input.

  • Patent number: 9875459
    Abstract: The present disclosure introduces methods and systems for tracking pieces of wellsite equipment. Such tracking includes receiving first identification information and first location information for a first module associated with a first piece of wellsite equipment at a first location, receiving second identification information for a second module associated with a second piece of wellsite equipment at the first location, and determining a tracking event associated with the second piece of wellsite equipment based on the first identification information, the first location information, and the second identification information. A utilization state associated with the second piece of wellsite equipment is then determined based on at least the tracking event.

  • Publication number: 20130290066
    Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to a method for managing a workflow for an oilfield operation. In one implementation, the method may include receiving a request for approval of one or more tasks of the task workflow. The method may also include generating the request for approval, where the request for approval includes a hyperlink to a most current status of the one or more tasks of the task workflow.

  • Patent number: 8294589
    Abstract: A method of and a system for tracking radioactive sources includes at least one RFID tag attached to a radioactive source shield, the shield receiving a radioactive source at a base location, and a TRX-Gamma box for detecting identification information from the RFID tag and sensing a first gamma radiation count from the radioactive source shield. The identification information and the first gamma radiation count are stored and the shield with the radioactive source is transported to a job location where the radioactive source is removed from the shield. At the job location, a check is made that the radioactive source has been returned to the shield by comparing any newly detected identification information with the stored identification information, and by comparing a sensed second gamma radiation count with the first gamma radiation count.
