System and method for electronic data delivery

A computer-implemented method for near real-time data delivery of oilfield data from at least one data acquisition site to a remote delivery site, comprising:

• a. processing a workflow order at a central data hub computer that controls delivery of oilfield data from the at least one data acquisition site to the remote delivery site;
• b. transmitting oilfield data over a first communications network from a data acquisition site computer to the central data hub computer in near real-time in response to the workflow order;
• c. sending oilfield data from the central data hub to a data server over a second communications network;
• and
• d. receiving data from the central data hub at the data server, the data server having the capability of communicating with multiple remote delivery site computers for the simultaneous display of the oilfield data in near real time at multiple delivery site computers in response to the workflow order.

A method in a computer data delivery system for delivering oilfield data from at least one data acquisition site to multiple delivery sites comprising:

• a. receiving a workflow order for oilfield data at a central data hub computer;
• b. executing the received workflow order at the central data hub computer comprising:
• i. if the task parameters are valid, submitting the task for dispatch comprising:
• 1. loading the description of the workflow order;
• 2. breaking the workflow order into at least one task containing task parameters and task dependencies;
• ii. if task dependencies are satisfied dispatching the task for execution;
• iii. executing the task;
• and
• iv. monitoring task status.

A computer-implemented method for near real-time data delivery of oilfield data from at least one data acquisition site to multiple remote delivery sites, comprising:

• a. processing a workflow order at a central data hub computer that controls delivery of oilfield data from the at least one data acquisition site to the remote delivery site;
• b. transmitting oilfield data over a first communications network from a data acquisition site computer to the central data hub computer in near real-time in response to the workflow order;
• and
• c. sending oilfield data from the central data hub to a remote delivery site using a data server that is part of the central data hub, the data server communicating with multiple remote delivery site computers for the simultaneous display of the oilfield data in near real time at multiple delivery site computers in response to the workflow order.

A computer implemented method for near real-time data delivery of oilfield data from at least one data acquisition site to multiple remote delivery sites, comprising:

• a. electronically transferring oilfield data obtained at a data acquisition site from a computer at the data acquisition site, based on a user-specified workflow order program, to a central data hub computer over a communications network using a near real-time transmission protocol;
• b. receiving the oilfield data at the central data hub computer, formatting the data for delivery to the multiple remote delivery sites based on the delivery site requirements and the user-specified workflow program;
• c. routing the data to a hardcopy delivery site for hardcopy creation based upon the workflow as requested by the workflow;
• and
• d. routing the data to the multiple remote delivery sites based on the user-specified workflow over a second communications network using a near real-time transmission protocol upon request by at least one of the multiple delivery sites.
