Rig operations controller

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• memory operatively coupled to the processor;
• processor-executable instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to instruct the system to:
• during drilling operations at a wellsite, receive operational data, wherein the data comprise hookload data, surface rotation data and block position data;
• train a controller using the hookload data, the surface rotation data and the block position data for determination of one or more transition thresholds, wherein the transitions thresholds comprise an in-slips to out-of-slips transition threshold and an out-of-slips to in-slips transition threshold;
• during the drilling operations, receive additional operational data that comprise additional hookload data;
• and
• store at least a portion of the additional operational data in association with slips state as determined based at least in part on a comparison of at least a portion of the additional hookload data and at least one of the determined transition thresholds.

One or more computer-readable storage media comprising processor-executable instructions to instruct a computing system to:

• during drilling operations at a wellsite, receive operational data, wherein the data comprise hookload data, surface rotation data and block position data;
• train a controller using the hookload data, the surface rotation data and the block position data for determination of one or more transition thresholds, wherein the transitions thresholds comprise an in-slips to out-of-slips transition threshold and an out-of-slips to in-slips transition threshold;
• during the drilling operations, receive additional operational data that comprise additional hookload data;
• and
• store at least a portion of the additional operational data in association with slips state as determined based at least in part on a comparison of at least a portion of the additional hookload data and at least one of the determined transition thresholds.
