Publication number: 20140195295Abstract: The invention provides a system, method, and computer readable medium for facilitating the execution of one or more tasks. Each worker may be provided with an electronic device capable of determining and transmitting its geographical location (and thus the worker's geographical location) to the computer system via one or more computer networks. In one embodiment, the system allows for the tracking of each task or work-related activity performed by each worker. The system may include pre-determined workflows to assist the worker in completing a task. Workflows may include recommended solutions to problems that may be encountered given the project or task at issue. In one embodiment, one or more effectiveness metrics may be utilized in order to ascertain the effectiveness of one or more of the workflows.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2014Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Stephen Whitley, Floyd Louis Broussard, III, Brandon David Plost, Scott Raphael, Patrick Daniel Dineen, Horacio Ricardo Bouzas, Cyril Laroche-Py, Chad Brockman, Vignesh Venkataraman

Publication number: 20140195290Abstract: The invention provides a system, method, and computer readable medium for facilitating the execution of one or more tasks. Task data pertaining to a plurality of tasks and worker data pertaining to one or more workers may be saved to a computer system. Each worker may be provided with an electronic device capable of determining and transmitting its geographical location (and thus the worker's geographical location) to the computer system via one or more computer networks. In one embodiment, task data and worker data may be analyzed and compared in order to identify eligible workers for each task. Once eligible workers have been identified, they may be assigned to one or more tasks and notified accordingly. In one embodiment, the task data and worker data stored by the computer system may be dynamically updated to reflect worker assignments and completed tasks.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2013Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Brandon David Plost, Patrick Daniel Dineen, Stephen Whitley, Floyd Louis Broussard, III, Scott Raphael, Horacio Ricardo Bouzas, Cyril Laroche-Py, Chad Brockman, Vignesh Venkataraman
