Monitoring hydrocarbon recovery operations using wearable computer machines

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by data processing apparatus of a wearable computer device positionable on a human body and including a processor, perform operations for monitoring oil and gas drilling or productions operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving sensor information from a plurality of sensors that includes a first sensor and a second sensor, the first sensor attached to the human wearable device and the second sensor being an image sensor connected to the human wearable device, the sensor information describing operational attributes of the oil and gas drilling or production operations, wherein the operational attributes are of an oil and gas drilling or production operation selected from the group consisting of surveying, drilling, tripping pipe, mixing fluids, pumping fluids, running wireline logging tools or slickline tools, running casing, pumping cement, perforating, pressure pumping including for fracturing, production of produced fluids, managing of produced fluids, running coiled tubing, running intervention tools, and plugging;
• identifying baseline sensor information based on received image sensor data and describing the operational attributes of the during normal operation of either processes and machines used in the oil and gas drilling or production operations, wherein:
• baseline sensor information describes an anticipated characteristic of a sensed output under a given set of input conditions;
• and
• machines include rotary elements and/or reciprocating elements;
• comparing the sensor information and the baseline sensor information;
• and
• providing a notification indicating an operational condition of the oil and gas drilling or production operation based on the comparison of the sensor and baseline sensor information.
