Abstract

A method can include generating a graphical user interface that includes vector graphics representations of equipment of a system for well operations, a data graphic for rendering sensor data of the system, and a graphical control actuatable to issue a control instruction for control of the system, where the system includes an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and a blowout preventer (BOP), and where the UPS is selectively, operatively coupled to one or more electric actuators for changing a state of the BOP; responsive to operation of the system, receiving sensor data; and updating the data graphic based at least in part on the sensor data.

Claims (30)

1. A system comprising:

a processor;

memory accessible to the processor;

processor-executable instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to instruct the system to:

generate a graphical user interface that comprises one or more vector graphics renderings of equipment of a system for well operations, one or more data graphic renderings of real-time sensor data values of the system, and one or more graphical controls actuatable to issue a control instruction for control of the system, wherein the system comprises an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and a blowout preventer (BOP), wherein the UPS is selectively, operatively coupled to one or more electric actuators for changing a state of the BOP, and wherein the one or more vector graphics renderings of the equipment comprise a vector graphics rendering of the UPS;

responsive to operation of the system, receive sensor data; and

update the one or more data graphic renderings of the real-tie sensor data values based at least in part on the sensor data.

2. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising processor-executable instructions to instruct a computing system to:

generate a graphical user interface that comprises one or more vector graphics renderings of equipment of a system for well operations, one or more data graphic renderings of real-time sensor data values of the system, and one or more graphical controls actuatable to issue a control instruction for control of the system, wherein the system comprises an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and a blowout preventer (BOP), wherein the UPS is selectively, operatively coupled to one or more electric actuators for changing a state of the BOP, and wherein the one or more vector graphics renderings of the equipment comprise a vector graphics rendering of the UPS;

responsive to operation of the system, receive sensor data; and

update the one or more data graphic renderings of the real-time sensor data values based at least in part on the sensor data.

3. A method comprising:

generating a graphical user interface that comprises one or more vector graphics renderings of equipment of a system for well operations, one or more data graphic renderings of real-time sensor data values of the system, and one or more graphical controls actuatable to issue a control instruction for control of the system, wherein the system comprises an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and a blowout preventer (BOP), wherein the UPS is selectively, operatively coupled to one or more electric actuators for changing a state of the BOP, and wherein the one or more vector graphics renderings of the equipment comprise a vector graphics rendering of the UPS;

responsive to operation of the system, receiving sensor data; and

updating the one or more data graphic renderings of the real-time sensors data values based at least in part on the sensor data.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the one or more electric actuators comprises an electric motor.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the electric motor drives a fluid pump.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the fluid pump is in fluid communication with a fluid circuit that comprises a hydraulically operated ram of the BOP.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the one or more electric actuators comprises an electric ram actuator of an electric ram of the BOP.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UPS comprises multiple batteries, and wherein the vectors graphics rendering of the UPS comprises a vector graphics rendering of at least one of the multiple batteries.

9. The method of claim 3 , further comprising, responsive to actuation of one of the one or more graphical controls, issuing the control instruction for control of the system.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising responsive to control of the system, receiving additional sensor data of the system indicative of a position of a component of the BOP, and updating one of the one or more vector graphics renderings of the component of the BOP to indicate the position of the component of the BOP.

11. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more vector graphics renderings of the equipment further comprise a vector graphics rendering of the BOP.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the vector graphics rendering of the BOP comprises a vector graphics rendering of a stack of preventers, wherein the stack of preventers comprises at least one of a hydraulic ram preventer or an electric ram preventer.

13. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more data graphic renderings of the real-time sensor data comprises a data graphic rendering of real-time pressure data.

14. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more data graphic renderings of the real-time sensor data comprises a data graphic rendering of real-time fluid flow data.

15. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more data graphic renderings of the real-time sensor data comprises a data graphic rendering of real-time battery data.

16. The method of claim 3 , further comprising rendering a popup window on the graphical user interface, wherein the popup window comprises a menu of equipment items for at least two pieces of the equipment of the system.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising, responsive to a selection of one of the equipment items, generating another graphical user interface that comprises information for the selected one of the equipment items.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the information comprises at least one of pressure data, flow data, or battery data.
