Systems and methods for self configuration of remote terminal units

A cloud-computing system configured to communicatively couple with a remote terminal unit (RTU) configured to monitor and/or control one or more operations of one or more well devices associated with a hydrocarbon well, wherein the cloud-computing system comprises at least one processor configured to:

• receive one or more attributes regarding the RTU, the well devices, the hydrocarbon well, or any combination thereof;
• receive a control action request from the RTU, wherein the control action request comprises a first set of instructions configured to cause the RTU to adjust the operations of the well devices in a first manner;
• receive model data comprising a second set of instructions associated with one or more services to be performed by the cloud-based computing system based on data provided to the cloud-based computing system from the RTU;
• determine whether an impact of adjusting the operations of the well devices in the first manner is greater than a threshold, wherein the threshold is based at least in part on an effect of adjusting the operations of the well devices in the first manner on another well device associated with the hydrocarbon well;
• send a denial of the control request to the RTU when the impact is greater than a threshold;
• and
• perform the services based on the data.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions configured to:

• send one or more attributes regarding a remote terminal unit (RTU) configured to control one or more operations of a well device associated with a hydrocarbon well to a cloud-based computing system;
• send model data comprising one or more instructions regarding cloud services to be performed by the cloud-based computing system based on data provided to the cloud-based computing system from the RTU;
• send a request to perform one or more control actions for the operations of the well device to the cloud-based computing system;
• receive an approval of the request via the cloud-based computing system;
• control the operations of the well device based on the control actions in response to receiving the approval of the request, wherein the approval is based at least in part on an effect of the control actions on another well device associated with the hydrocarbon well;
• and
• send the data to the cloud-based computing system.
