  • Publication number: 20130191081
    Abstract: A method or methods, and systems and computer program products for performing or executing such method(s), comprising developing a well plan based on a plurality of points in three-dimensional space, refining the well plan to remove noise, smoothing the refined well plan, adjusting resolution of the smoothed well plan, converting the resolution-adjusted well plan into a plurality geometric shapes, mapping the plurality of geometric shapes to ones of a plurality of drillable shapes via image processing and pattern recognition, and optimizing the mapped well plan by synthesizing into at least one drillable profile.

  • Patent number: 8135862
    Abstract: An example method for real-time bi-directional data management includes receiving a requested data list from a field application, receiving an available data list from a data source, and subscribing to available data by mapping the available data list to the requested data list, the available data having a first data format and a first protocol and including a first context identifier for identifying a portion of data. The method further includes modifying the available data have a second data format and a second protocol, the modified data including the first context identifier, and performing a field operation based on the modified data to generate processed data, the processed data including the first context identifier. The method further includes modifying the processed data to generate second modified data having the first data format and the first protocol, the second modified data being stored in the data source.
