  • Publication number: 20230376873
    Abstract: A system and method that include receiving sensor data acquired during execution of a drilling operation workflow and generating state information of a wellsite system and receiving contextual information for a role associated with a workflow that includes one or more tasks of the workflow. The system and method also include generating a natural language report based at least in part on the state information and based at least in part on the contextual information to facilitate planning and execution of the one or more tasks of the workflow. The system and method further include transmitting the natural language report via a network interface based at least in part on an identifier associated with the role and presenting a graphical user interface that renders information as to the planning and execution of the one or more tasks of the workflow to achieve a desired state of the wellsite system.
