Abstract

A system is provided for remote monitoring, decision making and operating of on-site well operation equipment. The system includes an on-site make-up monitoring system for receiving data from one or more on-site sensor modules and configured to process in real time from the received data, connection profiles and curves relating to the tubular connection make-up operation; a cloud-based system configured to receive compressed data from the on-site make-up monitoring system and to reprocess the received data to replicate the connection profiles and curves relating to the tubular connection make up operation; and one or more dedicated remote portals accessible by one or more remote users for review or analysis of the connection profiles and curves generated by the cloud-based system, and to transmit instructions via the cloud-based system to the on-site make-up monitoring system for modifying the operation of the make-up equipment.

Claims (34)

1 . A method for remote monitoring and decision making with respect to one or more parameters of on-site tubular connection make up operations, said method comprising the steps of:

i) collecting data from one or more on-site sensor modules assigned to the on-site make up equipment, during joint make-up of tubing and casing connections;

ii) transmitting the collected data to an on-site make-up monitoring system;

iii) processing in real time within the on-site make-up monitoring system, connection profiles and curves relating to the tubular connection make-up operation;

iv) compressing and transmitting said collected data from the on-site make-up monitoring system to a cloud based system comprising a memory storage means;

v) reprocessing, by the cloud based system the collected data to replicate the connection profiles and curves relating to the tubular connection make up operation;

iv) accessing the connection profiles and curves relating to the tubular connection make up operation by one or more remote users via one or more dedicated remote portals for review or analysis; and

vi) transmitting instructions from any one or more of the one or more remote users via the remote portal and the cloud-based system back to at least the on-site make-up monitoring system for modifying the operation of the make-up equipment within predefined limits,

wherein the on-site make-up monitoring system provides on-site access to the received instructions.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the data from the sensor module is transmitted to the on-site make-up monitoring system via edge-based transmission.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising sharing, by one or more remote users, remote access to the remote access portal with one or more other remote users.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising accessing, by the present cloud-based system, one or more central repositories of libraries of connection profile specifications provided by a tubular manufacturer.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing within the cloud-based system particular make-up requirements, including tolerances and resolutions of acceptable connections, of end users.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising transmitting from the cloud-based system a baseline of make-up requirements to one or more onsite make-up monitoring systems of an end user to synchronize setting and connection information across a feet of onsite make-up monitoring systems.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising storing in the cloud-based system data regarding an operator or operators of the on-site make up equipment, including operator performance, overall ratings, certifications, and number of operations completed.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising via the cloud-based system, collating well-site make up connection data on specific tubular joints with connection data for tubular to collar connection operations connected at a tubular manufacturer's location to generate a complete wellbore construction make-up report.

9 . A method for automated monitoring, decision making and operation of one or more parameters of on-site well operation equipment, comprising:

i) collecting data from one or more on-site sensor modules assigned to the on-site make up equipment, during joint make-up of tubing and casing connections;

ii) transmitting the collected data to an on-site make-up monitoring system;

iii) processing in real time within the on-site make-up monitoring system, connection profiles and curves relating to the tubular connection make-up operation;

iv) assessing by the on-site make up monitoring system, the connection profiles and curves against connection specifications, tolerances, and thresholds; and

v) modifying via instructions from the on-site make-up monitoring system the operation of the make-up equipment within predefined limits.

10 . A system for remote monitoring, decision making and operating of one or more parameters of on-site well operation equipment, said system comprising:

i) an on-site make-up monitoring system for receiving data from one or more on-site sensor modules assigned to the on-site make up equipment, said on-site make-up monitoring system configured to process in real time from the received data, connection profiles and curves relating to the tubular connection make-up operation;

ii) a cloud-based system comprising a memory storage mean configured to receive compressed data from the on-site make-up monitoring system and to reprocess the received data to replicate the connection profiles and curves relating to the tubular connection make up operation; and

iii) one or more dedicated remote portals accessible by one or more remote users for review or analysis of the connection profiles and curves generated by the cloud-based system, said one or more dedicated remote portals configured to transmit instructions via the cloud-based system back to the on-site make-up monitoring system for modifying the operation of the make-up equipment within predefined limits,

wherein the on-site make-up monitoring system is configured to provide on-site access to the received instructions.

11 . The system according to claim 10 , wherein the on-site make-up monitoring system comprises edge-based transmission to receive data from the sensor module.

12 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the remote access portal is shareable by one or more remote users with one or more other remote users.

13 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the present cloud-based system is configured to access one or more central repositories of libraries of connection profile specifications provided by a tubular manufacturer.

14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the cloud-based system is configured to store particular make-up requirements, including tolerances and resolutions of acceptable connections, of end users.

15 . The system of claim 14 , further comprising transmitting from the cloud-based system a baseline of make-up requirements to one or more onsite make-up monitoring systems of an end user to synchronize setting and connection information across a feet of onsite make-up monitoring systems.

16 . The system according to claim 10 , wherein the cloud-based system is configured for storing data regarding an operator or operators of the on-site make up equipment, including operator performance, overall ratings, certifications, and number of operations completed.

17 . The system according to claim 10 , the cloud-based system is configured to collate well-site make up connection data on specific tubular joints with connection data for tubular to collar connection operations connected at a tubular manufacturer's location to generate a complete wellbore construction make-up report.
