  • Patent number: 9324049
    Abstract: A maintenance system includes a plurality of wellsite equipment located at or nearby a wellsite, and a communication interface device for monitoring data that is representative of a health status of the equipment. The system further includes a database containing prior health status of the equipment, and a central data server in communication with the database which is capable of communicating with the communication interface device for generating analysis of the equipment. The analysis includes comparing the monitored data with the prior health status to prescribe if maintenance is required.

  • Publication number: 20140095114
    Abstract: A maintenance terminal unit is provided with a processor and a computer readable medium coupled to the processor. The computer readable medium is non-transitory and local to the processor. The computer readable medium stores computer executable instructions, that when executed by the processor cause the processor to: (1) receive equipment operations parameter data indicative of an operating status of a plurality of equipment, wherein separate equipment operations parameter data is received for at least two of the plurality of equipment; (2) translate the equipment operations parameter data relative to at least one threshold level into management operations data; (3) generate indicia of logs for the plurality of equipment; (4) generate indicia of log entries for the plurality of equipment; and (5) display indicia of the logs and log entries. The equipment can be wellsite equipment located at a wellsite.

  • Publication number: 20140095554
    Abstract: A management operations data tracking system and method are disclosed. The management operations data tracking system has one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions. The computer executable instructions cause the one or more processor to receive equipment operations parameter data indicative of an operating status of one or more equipment. The equipment operations parameter data is translated relative to a threshold level. A log is created for the one or more equipment and within the log one or more log entry is created indicative of the operation at sequential instants of time of the one or more equipment. The translated equipment operations parameter data is segmented and stored within the one or more log entry for the one or more equipment. The translated and segmented data is then transmitted and synchronized with a central hub. The equipment can be wellsite equipment.
