System and method for automated configuration of handling equipment and downhole components

A method implemented in a computerized system for downhole tools deployed at a wellsite, the method comprising:

• storing, in one or more databases of the computerized system, respective sizing parameters for sized members used by the downhole tools, the respective sizing parameter for each respective one of the sized members defining how the respective sized member is sized for use downhole on the downhole tool;
• encoding, with the computerized system, machine-readable indicia with the respective sizing parameters for the sized members;
• physically associating the machine-readable indicia with the sized members;
• storing, as a stored configuration in the one or more databases, a configuration of the downhole tools and the sized members to be deployed at the wellsite;
• and
• handling a current one of the downhole tools at the wellsite having a current one of the sized members, the current sized member having a machine-readable indicium of the machine-readable indicia, by performing the steps of:
• determining the respective sizing parameter associated with the current sized member by reading, with the computerized system, the machine-readable indicium of current sized member;
• comparing, in a comparison with the computerized system, the respective sizing parameter of the current sized member to the stored configuration of the downhole tools and the sized members to deployed at the wellsite;
• and
• producing, with the computerized system, an automated response based on the comparison.

• a database component storing respective sizing parameters for sized members used with the downhole components, the respective sizing parameter for each respective one of the sized members defining how the respective sized member is sized for use with the downhole components, the database component storing dimensions of the downhole components to be used at the wellsite;
• machine-readable indicia encoding the respective sizing parameters for the sized members, the machine-readable indicia physically associated with the sized members;
• and
• one or more processing units in operable communication with the database component and being configured to:
• read the machine-readable indicia of current sized members;
• determine the respective sizing parameters associated with the current sized members used with a current one of downhole components at the wellsite;
• compare, in a comparison, the respective sizing parameters of the current sized members to the stored dimensions of the downhole components used at the wellsite;
• and
• produce an automated response based on the comparison.
