Patent number: 11965416Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for remote well operation control. Methods include conducting, with a plurality of remote well operation control hosts operating on corresponding remote well logging data acquisition management systems, a well operation using a well operation system at a well, wherein the well operation system includes a carrier having disposed thereon at least one logging instrument. Methods may include establishing a first operational control relationship between the carrier and a first of the plurality of remote well operation control hosts sufficient for the first remote well operation control host to control the carrier; and establishing a second operational control relationship between a selected one of the at least one logging instrument and a second remote well operation control host different than the first, the operational control relationship sufficient for the second remote well operation control host to control the at least one logging instrument and receive logging data.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLCInventors: Peter J. Guijt, Nigel N. Smith, Douglas C. Young, Harold Andrade, Homero C. Castillo, Otto N. Fanini

Patent number: 10975690Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for remote well logging. Methods include conducting, with a plurality of remote well operation control hosts operating on corresponding remote well logging data acquisition management systems, a well logging operation using a well logging system at a logging site, wherein the well logging system includes a conveyance device having disposed thereon a first logging instrument and a second logging instrument; operating the first logging instrument responsive to at least one well-logging command from a first remote well operation control host of the plurality; and operating the second logging instrument responsive to at least one well-logging command from a second remote well operation control host of the plurality different than the first. Methods include transmitting a virtual presence feed associated with a logging site supervisor from the logging site to at least one of the corresponding remote well logging data acquisition management systems.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: BAKER HUGHES HOLDINGS LLCInventors: Peter J.
