Abstract
To reduce As difficulties associated with sub-site collaboration in hydrocarbon recovery, exploration, operation, or services environments, on-site collaboration between users is provided by including a multi-location virtual collaboration and monitoring system that enables multi-location virtual collaboration, monitoring, and data sharing, between users at sub-sites In hydrocarbon recovery, exploration operation, or services environments. A user may access real-time and stored data using one or more wearable or portable devices. Further, a user may configure data provision and data provision preferences for consumption of data In a variety of formats.
Claims20
A well site collaboration system comprising:
- a first sub-site comprising a first networking system, a first router, and a first one or more audio-visual communication devices, wherein the first router is communicatively couple to the first one or more audio-visual communication devices;
- a second sub-site comprising a second networking system, a second router, a second one or more audio-visual communication devices, wherein the second router is communicatively couple to the second one or more audio-visual communication devices, and one or more well site equipment;
- and
- an access manager comprising a third networking system,
- wherein the first sub-site is communicatively coupled to the second sub-site through a communication loop, bypassing the access manager, wherein the first router and the second router are coupled to the access manager through an internet switch,
- wherein at least one of the first one or more audio-visual communication devices produces a first one or more datum,
- wherein the first networking system receives the first one or more datum from the at least one of the first one or more audio-visual communication devices,
- wherein the third networking system receives the first one or more datum from the first networking system and provides a second one or more datum to the second networking system,
- wherein at least one of the second one or more audio-visual communication devices receives the second one or more datum from the second networking system and produces a first one or more notifications based, at least in part, on the second one or more datum, and
- wherein one or more operations of the one or more well site equipment is modified based, at least in part, on the first one or more notifications.
A method for collaborating at a well site comprising:
- producing a first one or more datum using a first audio-visual communication device communicatively coupled to a first router;
- transmitting the first one or more datum to an access manager;
- storing the first one or more datum in a data repository, wherein the data repository is coupled to the access manager;
- transmitting a second one or more datum from the access manager to a second audio-visual communication device, communicatively coupled to a second router, wherein the first router and the second router are coupled to the access manager through an internet switch, wherein the second one or more datum corresponds to the first one or more datum;
- producing one or more notifications using the second audio-visual communication device based, at least in part, on the second one or more datum;
- and
- modifying one or more sub-site operations based, at least in part, on the one or more notifications.
A method of collaborating at a well site comprising:
- producing a first one or more datum using a first audio-visual communication device;
- transmitting the first one or more datum to a first control computer communicatively coupled to a first router;
- transmitting the first one or more datum from the first control computer to a second control computer communicatively coupled to a second router, wherein the first control computer is communicatively coupled to the second control computer through a communication loop, bypassing an access manager operable to store the first one or more datum;
- transmitting the first one or more datum from the second control computer to a second audio-visual communication device;
- providing a first one or more notifications using the second audio-visual communication device based, at least in part, on the first one or more datum;
- and
- modifying one or more operations based, at least in part, on the first one or more notifications.
