Abstract: A system and method acquire raw data from drilling equipment that includes at least two drilling related parameters measured in real time during a drilling operation by a drilling rig and conditioning the raw data by removing outlier data values and/or filtering out noise. The conditioned data is processed to generate output values and generating an alarm based on the output values to indicate an abnormal drilling condition. Processing the conditioned data includes determining incremental changes in data values and whether the incremental changes are an increase, decrease or no change for each of the at least two drilling related parameters. The incremental changes are summed over a user-defined time period for each of the at least two drilling related parameters and compared to a threshold for the user-defined time period for each of the at least two drilling related parameters.

Abstract: A method of monitoring drilling conditions includes acquiring raw data from drilling equipment and conditioning the raw data to generate conditioned data. Conditioning the raw data includes removing outlier data values and/or filtering out noise. The method further includes processing the conditioned data to generate output values. Processing the conditioned data includes determining a slope of a first set of data values of the conditioned data. The first set of data values correspond to a regression length of time. Processing the conditioned data further includes determining whether a difference between the slope of the first set of data values and a median slope determined over a median window of time exceeds a threshold. The method also includes generating an alarm based on the output values to indicate an abnormal drilling condition.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting design conflicts of a product or process are disclosed. A method for detecting design conflicts includes processing a function model of a product or process to identify a plurality of descriptions of functions to be performed by the product or process. The method includes detecting in the plurality of descriptions a first description and a second description in which the first description includes a first design component name that matches a second design component name of the second description, a first descriptive noun that matches a second descriptive noun of the second description, and a first active verb that does not match a second active verb of the second description. The method further includes flagging a relationship between the first description and the second description as a first conflict type and displaying, on a display device, information regarding the first conflict type.
