Abstract

A method for implementing a wireline logging cloud computing system includes transforming the single computing device in use at well-sites to perform tool processing into a cloud configuration that can use multiple computing devices. The method includes using a logging manager user interface to communicate tool processing requests and using a logging manager service provider to create a cloud configuration for the tool processing. The method further may include implementing a post-processing manager for implementing cloud computing for post-processing tasks.

Claims (46)

1. A system for cloud computing for a well-site, comprising:

a wireline logging cloud computing system, wherein the wireline logging cloud computing system includes a logging manager user interface and a logging manager service provider;

further wherein the logging manager user interface is communicatively coupled to a graphical user interface;

at least one memory;

a database in the at least one memory; wherein the database is communicatively coupled to the wireline logging cloud computing system;

further wherein the database is operable to receive one or more well-site measurements from one or more information provider units, wherein the one or more information provider units are located at one or more well-sites;

at least one processor executing the steps comprising:

receiving from a user a request to perform a tool processing;

allocating by the logging manager service provider one or more computing devices communicatively coupled to the wireline logging cloud computing system, wherein the allocating is based on a determination of a processing requirement for the tool processing;

using the allocated one or more computing devices to perform the tool processing to generate a result, wherein at least one of the one or more computing devices is located remote from the well-site for which the user request is being performed;

a post-processing manager communicatively coupled to a second database.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more measurements comprise a surface measurement.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more measurements comprise a downhole measurement.

4. The system of claim 1 , further wherein the results are stored in the database.

5. The system of claim 1 , further wherein the post-processing manager uses results of the tool processing to perform a post-processing task.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing devices are located at a remote network operations center.

7. A method for cloud computing for a well-site, comprising:

receiving a user request to perform a tool processing, wherein the user request is received by a logging manager user interface of a wireline logging cloud computing system, further wherein the logging manager user interface is communicatively coupled to a graphical user interface;

allocating by a logging manager service provider one or more computing devices communicatively coupled to the wireline logging cloud computing system, wherein the allocating is based on a determination of a processing requirement for the tool processing;

retrieving a measurement from a database in at least one memory, wherein the database is operable to receive one or more well-site measurements from one or more information provider units, wherein the one or more information provider units are located at one or more well-sites;

using the allocated one or more computing devices and the one or more well-site measurements to perform the tool processing to generate a result, wherein at least one of the one or more computing devices is located remote from the well-site for which the user request is being performed;

performing a post-processing task by a post-processing manager communicatively coupled to a second database.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the one or more measurements comprise a surface measurement.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the one or more measurements comprise a downhole measurement.

10. The method of claim 7 , further wherein the results are stored in the database.

11. The method of claim 7 , further wherein the post-processing manager uses results of the tool processing to perform a post-processing task.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the computing devices are located at a remote network operations center.

13. A computer-implemented method for logging wireline data using a wireline logging cloud computing system, comprising:

a logging manager user interface;

a logging manager service provider;

wherein the logging manager user interface is communicatively coupled to the logging manager service provider;

further wherein the logging manager user interface is communicatively coupled to a graphical user interface;

at least one memory;

a database in the at least one memory; wherein the database is communicatively coupled to the wireline logging cloud computing system;

further wherein the database is operable to receive one or more well-site measurements from one or more information provider units; wherein the one or more information provider units are located at one or more well-sites;

at least one processor executing the steps comprising:

receiving from a user a request to perform a tool processing;

allocating by the logging manager service provider one or more computing devices communicatively coupled to the wireline logging cloud computing system, wherein the allocating is based on a determination of a processing requirement for the tool processing;

using the allocated one or more computing devices to perform the tool processing to generate a result; wherein at least one of the one or more computing devices is located remote from the well-site for which the user request is being performed;

a post-processing manager communicatively coupled to a second database.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the one or more measurements comprise a surface measurement.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the one or more measurements comprise a downhole measurement.

16. The system of claim 13 , further wherein the results are stored in the database.

17. The system of claim 13 , further wherein the post-processing manager uses results of the tool processing to perform a post-processing task.

18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the computing devices are located at a remote network operations center.

19. The system of claim 13 , further wherein the second database is communicatively coupled to the database.
