  • Publication number: 20160187508
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system, method, and computer readable medium capable of providing a data analysis/visualization application through which the user may seamlessly retrieve and analyze data from a variety of sources using a single interface. In one embodiment, this may be accomplished by applying data designations to at least a portion of the stored oilfield data and using the data designations to search for and retrieve oilfield data of interest to the user. In one embodiment, the data designations, and their association(s) with the oilfield data, may facilitate the retrieval and display of related actions such as calculations, alarms, workflow(s), notifications and unit conversions. In one embodiment, data designations may include one or more metadata flags applied to one or more pieces of oilfield data.

  • Patent number: 7945488
    Abstract: Methods and systems facilitate collaboration between users at an oil well site and users at a remote location. Multiple types of oil well data are collected at the oil well site to form aggregated data. The aggregated data is stored in a data aggregation server at the oil well site. Users at the oil well site and users at the remote location are allowed to access the aggregated data on the data aggregation server using a standard data format.

  • Patent number: 3944460
    Abstract: A manually operable combination strapping tool for applying plastic strapping around an object includes a strap-tensioning and gripping mechanism for holding the strap in a tensioned loop around the object with the supply portion of the strap overlapping the leading end thereof, and a heat sealing mechanism which comprises a cam shaft adapted for camming engagement with a movable pressure block and with a rocker arm which is in turn releasably coupled to a movable heater. As the cam shaft is rotated, the rocker arm moves the heater between the overlapping strap portions and the pressure block is moved to press together the heating element and strap portions for melting thereof. Further rotation of the cam shaft disengages it from the pressure block and decouples the rocker arm from the heater to permit retraction of the pressure block and the heater by separate bias means.
