  • Publication number: 20210235171
    Abstract: To reduce costs and free on-site personnel to freely move about a well site in a hydrocarbon recovery, exploration, operation, or services environment, systems and methods are presented for collecting data associated with one or more on-site pieces of equipment, distributing the collected data using a network system, optionally storing the collected data in one or more resources including databases, and producing a notification on a wearable notification device based, at least in part, on the collected data to enable on-site users to respond to the collected data by modifying on-site operations.

  • Patent number: 11060366
    Abstract: A high pressure fluid pump system of a fluid injection system includes a large volume displacement system, having a large volume pump, and low volume displacement system, having a low volume pump, a programmable logic control (PLC) computer coupled with each displacement system. The large volume displacement system is configured to incrementally or continuously increase a pressure of a fluid in a downhole to a predetermined pressure setting below a maximum pressure setting, and the low volume displacement system is configured to increase the pressure of the fluid from the predetermined pressure setting to a pressure setting above the predetermined pressure setting and at or below the maximum pressure setting. The functioning of the high pressure fluid pump system can be monitored, controlled and tested by the PLC computer. One or more graphical user interfaces can be coupled to the PLC computer for user input.

  • Publication number: 20210189836
    Abstract: A virtual presence may be established to provide engagement with equipment and operators at a hydrocarbon recovery, exploration, operation, or services environments in order to reduce the expense associated with having knowledge experts, or other personnel, travel to and work at remote hydrocarbon recovery, exploration, operation, or services environments. For example, a wearable device may allow a user, such as a subject matter expert, at a virtual real time operation center to view data from equipment located at the site.
