Abstract
A method for monitoring wellsite equipment may include producing a digital image and a thermal image of the wellsite equipment; identifying one or more equipment units in the digital image; overlaying the thermal image on the one or more identified equipment units in the digital image to thermally map the one or more identified equipment units; and analyzing temperature conditions of at least a first identified equipment unit.
Claims22
A method for monitoring wellsite equipment, comprising:
- producing a digital image and a thermal image of the wellsite equipment;
- identifying one or more equipment units in the digital image;
- overlaying the thermal image on the one or more identified equipment units in the digital image to thermally map the one or more identified equipment units;
- and
- analyzing temperature conditions of at least a first identified equipment unit.
A method for monitoring wellsite equipment, comprising:
- taking a thermal image of the wellsite equipment, the wellsite equipment comprising at least one equipment unit having at least one marker thereon;
- identifying the at least one equipment unit based on a location of the at least one marker in the thermal image;
- overlaying the thermal image onto a rendering of the at least one equipment unit, wherein the location of the at least one marker in the thermal image overlaps a correlating location on the at least one equipment unit in the rendering;
- and
- analyzing at least one condition of the at least one equipment unit.
A system for determining a condition of wellsite equipment, comprising:
- a plurality of equipment units, each equipment unit having at least one marker thereon;
- at least one thermal imaging device positioned a distance from the plurality of equipment units;
- a computational device in communication with the at least one thermal imaging device, the computational device capable of identifying one or more of the equipment units in a thermal image generated from the at least one thermal imaging device based on a position of the at least one marker thereon and overlaying the one or more identified equipment units in the thermal image on a rendering of the one or more equipment units.
