  • Publication number: 20240086398
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for performing a well completion. Specifically, a distributed ledger associated with a supply chain for a well completion is accessed. The distributed ledger can include a first entry associated with a first entity in the supply chain that is indicative of an identification of the first entity and characteristics of a material implemented in the well completion. The ledger can also include a second entry associated with a second entity in the supply chain that is indicative of the second entity and the characteristics of the material at the second entity. Integration of the material in the well completion can be controlled based on the first entry and the second entry.
