  • Operating wellbore equipment using data from mediator computing devices
    Patent number: 11939856
    Abstract: A system includes a first wellbore operation controller for controlling a wellbore operation and generating a first broadcast indicating a first data topic desired for controlling the wellbore operation. The system also includes a second wellbore operation controller for generating a data stream associated with a wellbore and for generating a second broadcast indicating a second data topic that promotes the data stream. The system includes a mediator computing device that receives the first broadcast and the second broadcast and determines that the first wellbore operation controller is subscribed to the data stream by comparing the first data topic to the second data topic. In response to determining that the first wellbore operation controller is subscribed to the data stream, the mediator computing device creates a data link between the first wellbore operation controller and the second wellbore operation controller.
