Patent number: 11755188Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein include a computing system that includes a non-transitory memory and one or more hardware processors configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to perform operations. The operations include detecting one or more pumps of a wellsite system that are activated. The operations also include generating a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface includes a pump list panel comprising one or more pump icons, each pump icon corresponding to a pump of the one or more pumps. The graphical user interface also includes a manifold layout panel comprising a manifold outline that represents an actual physical layout of one or more manifolds of the wellsite system. The operations also include receiving, via the graphical user interface, an input assigning a pump icon of the one or more pump icons onto a pump location of the manifold outline.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2020Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Ying Wang, Alexander Tanner Taylor, Bao Mi, Nan Mu
