The present disclosure relates generally to oil field exploration and, more particularly, to a system and method for analysis of oil rig activity.
The measurement of various types of data during oil rig activities is well known in the subterranean well drilling and completion art. Real-time data is generated from, for example, wellsite sensors, measurement-while-drilling/logging-while-drilling tools, and software application logs. Additionally, macroscopic reports may be generated that record wellsite metadata (e.g., type of drillbit, casing information, etc.) and data reflecting wellsite operations during flat time (i.e., time during which real-time sensors are not changing). Macroscopic reports may also include the wellsite operators' manual logs of operations.
The analysis of the various data is well known in the art. However, such data analysis and reporting may be difficult and time consuming when data may be fragmented across different data sources, unstandardized, and/or contain errors. Data analysis must usually be performed either entirely manually or with substantial manual oversight. Further, it may be difficult to combine or compare data from multiple wellsites, or between wellsites overseen by different operating companies, due to the different methods and formats for data gathering and recording.
While embodiments of this disclosure have been depicted and described and are defined by reference to exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, such references do not imply a limitation on the disclosure, and no such limitation is to be inferred. The subject matter disclosed is capable of considerable modification, alteration, and equivalents in form and function, as will occur to those skilled in the pertinent art and having the benefit of this disclosure. The depicted and described embodiments of this disclosure are examples only, and not exhaustive of the scope of the disclosure.
