Automating oil and gas drilling site operation processes using artificial intelligence

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:

• storing, in a repository at a centralized system, a detailed sequence of drill site operations for each rig of a fleet of rigs;
• determining, by the centralized system, for each detailed sequence of drill site operations and using at least the repository, a time schedule for the detailed sequence of drill site operations identifying routine operational steps and dependent prerequisite activities required to proceed to each next operational step in each detailed sequence of drill site operations;
• determining, by the centralized system based on at least the time schedules for the detailed sequence of drill site operations for each rig, a critical path for drill site operations;
• creating, by the centralized system based on the critical path, a shortened critical path by using machine learning on the drill site operations;
• providing, by the centralized system in real time in a user interface and using the shortened critical path, suggestions of possible next steps for an in-progress drilling operation;
• and
• optimizing, by the centralized system using a user-selected suggestion, a sequence of operations for the in-progress drilling operation, comprising:
• automating, by the centralized system, materials and services requests;
• collecting, by the centralized system, location information of personnel authorized to perform a task at a rig by collecting, from a radio frequency identification (RFID) hub at a ria, locations of RFID chins worn by stand-by personnel and locations of RFID chins installed on a rig equipment and by collecting corresponding identifiers of the stand-by personnel and the rig equipment;
• determining, by the centralized system and using the location information, that the personnel can perform the task;
• and
• providing, by the centralized system, notifications to the personnel to perform the task.

A computer-implemented system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors and storing programming instructions for execution by the one or more processors, the programming instructions instructing the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• storing, in a repository at a centralized system, a detailed sequence of drill site operations for each rig of a fleet of rigs;
• determining, by the centralized system, for each detailed sequence of drill site operations and using at least the repository, a time schedule for the detailed sequence of drill site operations identifying routine operational steps and dependent prerequisite activities required to proceed to each next operational step in each detailed sequence of drill site operations;
