  • Operating wellbore equipment using a distributed decision framework
    Patent number: 11959373
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to projecting control parameters of equipment associated with forming a wellbore, stimulating the wellbore, or producing fluid from the wellbore. A system includes the equipment and a computing device. The computing device is operable to project a control parameter value of the equipment using an equipment control process, and to receive confirmation that the projected control parameter value is within an allowable operating range. The computing device is also operable to adjust the equipment control process based on the confirmation, and to control the equipment to operate at the projected control parameter value. Further, the computing device is operable to receive real-time data associated with the forming of the wellbore, the stimulating of the wellbore, or the producing fluid from the wellbore. Furthermore, the computing device is operable to adjust the equipment control process based on the real-time data.
