  • Publication number: 20230193724
    Abstract: A system may include a connector coupled to a wellhead assembly. The system may also include a hydraulic power unit coupled to the connector and a valve of the wellhead assembly. The system may further include a controller in communication with the connector and the hydraulic power unit. The controller may be operable to receive one or more conditions associated with the connector and a valve of the wellhead assembly. The controller may also be operable to operate at least one of the connector and the valve through the hydraulic power unit based on the one or more condition.

  • Publication number: 20220316307
    Abstract: A system includes a built hydraulic fracturing system with a plurality of devices connected together and a simulation of the built hydraulic fracturing system on a software application. Additionally, a fracturing plan may be provided on the software application to include pre-made instructions to perform multiple processes in a hydraulic fracturing operation such as a sequence of valve operations to direct fluid flow through a selected path. Further, the fracturing plan may be modified to create a customized fracturing plan including the pre-made instructions and at least one modified instruction. Furthermore, the customized fracturing plan may be executed to perform at least one of the processes in the built hydraulic fracturing system.

  • Publication number: 20180095455
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a maintenance condition of a component includes coupling a sensing device to the component. The sensing device includes at least one non-intrusive data sensor and an on-board processing complex including a wireless communication device and being coupled to the at least one non-intrusive data sensor. Data from the at least one non-intrusive data sensor is processed in the on-board processing complex using a maintenance model to determine a maintenance condition metric for the component. The maintenance condition metric is transmitted to a remote system using the wireless communication device.

  • Publication number: 20070124451
    Abstract: A system is described herein where an embedded computer method for (‘router’) is provided for full-duplex (two-way) communication between devices and/or instruments and TCP/IP-based networking. This system uses a process development component, which configures the router to communicate with a range of devices. A controller is described that can manage a collection of routers. This controller layer can reside inside the hardware or within the data-publishing layer. Each router is physically connected to devices using physical communication ports. This method offers significant improvements over prior art with respect to open architecture process, control protocols, graphical icon usage, process development, validation, execution, monitoring and messaging. The result data from the device control protocol functions are available for named complex processes and/or inter-device communication in real-time based on data decision algorithms in various formats.
