Abstract: A technique for monitoring valve and pump efficiencies for positive displacement pumps. The techniques include utilizing a data acquisition system to attain intake and discharge pressure data in combination with real-time encoder position data. Thus, when combined, output from a pump may be monitored in real-time. As a result, pump life may be extended beyond an anticipated changeout schedule. By the same token, premature pump inefficiencies may also be detected for taking a pump offline in advance of expected life. In either circumstance, multi-pump operations may be substantially enhanced with cost and time savings realized.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a communication circuit, a processor, and a memory which stores instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic device to identify a first number, which is a number of available wireless connections of the electronic device, to receive a second number, which is a number of available wireless connections of a first external electronic device of a plurality of external electronic devices by using the communication circuit, to identify a third number, which is a number of wireless connections to be used for data transmission and reception with the first external electronic device, based on the first number and the second number, to establish the third number of wireless connections with the first external electronic device, and to transmit/receive data with the first external electronic device by using the third number of the wireless connections.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device including a wireless communication circuit, and a processor operably connected to the wireless communication circuit, wherein the processor is configured to identify a first channel for communication with an access point (AP) based on wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) and a second channel for direct communication with an external electronic device based on Wi-Fi direct, reconfigure a capability of the electronic device related to direct communication with the external electronic device when the first channel and the second channel are different, and transmit information about the reconfigured capability of the electronic device to the external electronic device through the wireless communication circuit.

Abstract: A well operation facility including a first pump for delivering mud and cement to a borehole, a second pump for delivering mud to the borehole; a third pump for delivering the mud to the borehole, an inlet manifold coupled to each of the pumps for delivering the mud and/or cement to the pumps, and a discharge manifold coupled to each of the pumps for delivering the mud and/or cement at a pressure. In some embodiments, the first pump, the second pump, and the third pump are configured to be isolated from each other and to be used in series, parallel or as backups to each other.

Abstract: The present disclosure introduces apparatus and methods for identifying discrepancies of oilfield wellsite equipment relative to computer-generated models. A captured image of a component of a physical object is obtained. A planar model image of the component is obtained employing a preexisting, three-dimensional (3-D), computer-generated model. A difference between the captured image and the planar model image is identified with respect to a point of interest of the component. A discrepancy report is produced for the difference.
