Abstract: A system and method that is configured to automatically control a spooling of a drum of a deployment unit used in hydrocarbon recovery operations. The method may comprise obtaining data related to a sensor and measurements system connected to the deployment unit. Processing the data obtained by the sensor and measurements system in a processing unit that makes a stochastic inference. Controlling an auto spooling of the drum of the deployment unit through an auto-spooling controller connected to the deployment unit based upon the stochastic inference.

Abstract: A method of controlling operation of equipment that spools cable on and off a rotatable drum, in one or more embodiments, includes obtaining video data of a position of the cable on the rotatable drum. The method can also include feeding data into a trained artificial neural network and processing the data fed into the trained artificial neural network to determine at least one of a calculated position of the cable on the rotatable drum, a calculated fleet angle, or both. The method can also include actuating the rotatable drum to one of spool cable on and off the rotatable drum.

Abstract: A method of controlling operation of equipment that spools an elongated member on and off a rotatable drum, in one or more embodiments, includes obtaining video data of a position of the elongated member on the rotatable drum. The method can also include feeding data into a trained artificial neural network and processing the data fed into the trained artificial neural network to determine at least one of a calculated position of the elongated member on the rotatable drum, a calculated fleet angle, or both. The method can also include actuating the rotatable drum to one of spool elongated member on and off the rotatable drum.
