Remote well operation control system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11965416B2) discloses a method for conducting well operations efficiently. The method involves allocating control of an operational resource located at a well to remote well operational control hosts based on their roles and privileges associated with operational resources. This allocation is done by maintaining a database that associates remote hosts with roles and modifying these roles as needed. The method also includes determining the operational state of the resource and the well to allocate control effectively based on these factors.
Furthermore, the patent covers aspects such as role modifications triggered by role shift events, constraints associated with roles, and the types of operational resources involved, including logging instruments, carriers, and WAN bandwidth for transmitting logging data. The method enables various well operations such as geosteering, drilling boreholes, performing measurements on formations, estimating parameters, installing equipment, evaluating formations, and conducting maritime logging operations. The allocation of control is crucial for establishing an operational relationship that allows the use of resources for these operations. Overall, the patented method offers a systematic approach to managing well operations by allocating control based on roles, privileges, and operational states, ensuring efficient and effective execution of tasks in the well logging industry.
