Abstract

In some aspects, the present invention comprises a system and method for optimizing by automation the reporting and potential resolution of issues that may arise at a reservoir operation. Such issues typically require manual communication and collection, but with the present invention, the reporting and resolving of such issues can be automated using software that will reduce the non-productive time associated with reservoir operations.

Claims (36)

1. A method for reporting issues for rig operations, comprising:

providing a plurality of monitoring units, wherein the monitoring units are communicatively coupled to a wellsite database server;

receiving a reportable issue associated with a wellsite at the at least one monitoring unit, wherein the reportable issue is associated with an identification code, wherein the identification code is associated with a record of information associated with the reportable issue, wherein the record of information provides reporting information, and wherein the identification code includes one or more issues associated with at least one of an environmental parameter, a downhole parameter, a formation evaluation parameter, a resistivity parameter, and a conductivity parameter;

setting up a catalogue of the reportable issue based on the identification code;

uploading debugging information to a network storage location based on the catalogue;

creating an access link for the debugging information based on information in the catalogue associated with the identification code;

automatically communicating, based on the record of information associated with the reportable issue, the reportable issue to a remote information handling system; and

sending a notification with the access link to a specialist of the reportable issue.

2. The method of claim 1 , further wherein the identification code is a unique identification code for the reportable issue.

3. The method of claim 1 , further wherein the wellsite database server maintains the plurality of the record of information associated with the reportable issue.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the record of information further includes information for resolving the issue.

5. The method of claim 1 , further wherein the monitoring unit receives troubleshooting steps associated with the reportable issue.

6. The method of claim 1 , further wherein the reportable issue is sent to a realtime operations center.

7. The method of claim 6 , further wherein the realtime operations center receives the information through a network.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by data processing apparatus, perform operations comprising:

providing a plurality of monitoring units, wherein the monitoring units are communicatively coupled to a wellsite database server;

receiving a reportable issue associated with a wellsite at the at least one monitoring unit, wherein the reportable issue is associated with an identification code, wherein the identification code is associated with a record of information associated with the reportable issue, wherein the record of information provides reporting information, and wherein the identification code includes one or more issues associated with at least one of an environmental parameter, a downhole parameter, a formation evaluation parameter, a resistivity parameter, and a conductivity parameter;

setting up a catalogue of the reportable issue based on the identification code;

uploading debugging information to a network storage location based on the catalogue;

creating an access link for the debugging information based on information in the catalogue associated with the identification code;

automatically communicating, based on the record of information associated with the reportable issue, the reportable issue to a remote information handling system; and

sending a notification with the access link to a specialist of the reportable issue.

9. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further wherein the identification code is a unique identification code for the reportable issue.

10. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further wherein the wellsite database server maintains the plurality of the record of information associated with the reportable issue.

11. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the record of information further includes information for resolving the issue.

12. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further wherein the monitoring unit receives troubleshooting steps associated with the reportable issue.

13. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further wherein the reportable issue is sent to a realtime operations center.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further wherein the realtime operations center receives the information through a network.

15. A computing system comprising:

a communications interface communicatively coupled to a wellsite database server, wherein the communications interface is operable to receive a reportable issue associated with a wellsite at the at least one monitoring unit, wherein the reportable issue is associated with an identification code, wherein the identification code is associated with a record of information associated with the reportable issue, wherein the record of information provides reporting information, and wherein the identification code includes one or more issues associated with at least one of an environmental parameter, a downhole parameter, a formation evaluation parameter, a resistivity parameter, and a conductivity parameter; and

a data processing apparatus to set up a catalogue of the reportable issue based on the identification code, upload debugging information to a network storage location based on the catalogue, create an access link for the debugging information based on information in the catalogue associated with the identification code, automatically communicate, based on the record of information associated with the reportable issue, the reportable issue to a remote information handling system and send a notification with the access link to a specialist of the reportable issue.

16. The computing system of claim 15 , the data processing apparatus being operable to associate the record information with information for resolving the issue.

17. The computing system of claim 16 , wherein the information for resolving the issue may further comprise troubleshooting steps associated with the issue.

18. The computing system of claim 15 , the data processing apparatus being operable to associate a unique code to each of the identification codes.

19. The computing system of claim 15 , the data processing apparatus being operable to communicate the reportable issues to a realtime operations center.

20. The computing system of claim 15 , further wherein the communications interface receives troubleshooting information for the issue.
