Abstract
A method for simulating a rig operation that can include creating a digital twin of a rig based on a rig plan for assembling/disassembling a rig; simulating, via the digital twin, a list of tasks for assembly/disassembly of rig components to assemble/disassemble the rig at a rig site. Also, a method for simulating and performing a rig operation is provided that can include operations of creating a digital twin of a rig based on a rig plan for the rig, simulating, via the digital twin, the rig plan, where the rig plan can include a list of tasks for moving rig components of the rig, and simulating, via the digital twin, moving the rig components from a first location to a second location.
Claims18
A method for simulating a rig operation comprising:
