Abstract
Systems and methods for enabling wellsite data transfer between petroleum field devices using coded data images, such as matrix barcodes, are provided. Wellsite data is obtained in a first format at a first computing device. The wellsite data is converted from the first format into a second format to be used for matrix barcode generation. At least one matrix barcode is generated based on the converted wellsite data. A representation of the generated matrix barcode is presented via an output device of the first computing device for transfer to a second computing device.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for enabling wellsite data transfer between petroleum field devices using coded data images, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a first mobile device located at a wellsite in a petroleum field, wellsite data in a first format supported by only a first of a plurality of service providers at the wellsite;
- converting, by the first mobile device, the obtained wellsite data from the first format into a second format supported by a second service provider at the wellsite;
- generating, by the first mobile device, at least one coded data image based on the converted wellsite data;
- and
- presenting, by the first mobile device via a display of the first mobile device, a representation of the generated coded data image for transfer to a second mobile device located at the wellsite via an image capture device of the second mobile device, wherein the second mobile device is associated with the second service provider.
A system for enabling data transfer from a first mobile device using coded data images at a wellsite, the system comprising:
- a display;
- at least one processor coupled to the display;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including processor-readable instructions stored therein, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform functions including functions to:
- obtain, from a computing device associated with a first of a plurality of service providers at the wellsite, wellsite data in a first format supported by only the first service provider;
- convert the obtained wellsite data from the first format into a second format supported by a second service provider at the wellsite;
- generate at least one coded data image based on the converted wellsite data;
- and
- present via the display a representation of the generated coded data image for transfer to a second mobile device located at the wellsite via an image capture device of the second mobile device wherein the second mobile device is associated with the second service provider.
A computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to execute functions, including functions to:
- obtain, from a computing device associated with a first of a plurality of service providers at a wellsite, wellsite data in a first format supported by only the first service provider;
- convert the obtained wellsite data from the first format into a second format supported by a second service provider at the wellsite;
- generate at least one coded data image based on the converted wellsite data;
- and
- present, via an output device of a first mobile device located at the wellsite, a representation of the generated coded data image for transfer to a second mobile device located at the wellsite via an image capture device of the second mobile device, wherein the second mobile device is associated with the second service provider.
