Abstract

A method for wellsite control includes, at a computing device, receiving sensor information from one or more sensors; determining at least one notification option based at least partially on the sensor information; selecting at least one notification option based at least partially on the sensor information; and sending a notification to a notification destination.

Claims (58)

1. A method for wellsite control, the method comprising:

at a computing device:

receiving primary sensor information from one or more first sensors;

inputting the primary sensor information into a machine learning (ML) model, wherein the ML model is configured to receive the primary sensor information and, based on prior training datasets, determine one or more notification options based at least partially on the primary sensor information;

determining, via the ML model, the one or more notification options based at least partially on the primary sensor information;

selecting at least one notification option from the one or more notification options based at least partially on the primary sensor information; and

sending a notification to a notification destination;

receiving a confirmation of the notification from the notification destination, wherein the confirmation of the notification includes an indication of an action taken in conjunction with the notification;

recording the confirmation of the notification in the ML model;

training the ML model based on the confirmation of the notification;

receiving secondary sensor information from one or more second sensors, wherein the secondary sensor information is based at least partially on the primary sensor information;

inputting the secondary sensor information into the ML model, wherein the ML model is configured to receive the secondary sensor information and the primary sensor information and, based on the prior training datasets, determine the one or more notification options in response based at least partially on the secondary sensor information; and

determining, via the ML model, the one or more notification options based at least partially on the secondary sensor information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the primary sensor information includes at least one of surface sensor information, downhole sensor information, a physical location of the one or more first sensors, at least one environmental condition of a wellsite, and at least one operating condition of the wellsite.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one notification option includes a control command of at least one equipment.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the control command of the at least one equipment is automated control of the at least one equipment.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one notification option includes transmitting at least part of the primary sensor information to the notification destination.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification destination is a wellsite operator.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification destination is a wellsite alarm.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the confirmation includes at least one of a verification of the primary sensor information, a verification of accuracy of the notification destination, and a response action to the notification.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the primary sensor information comprises acceleration information and the secondary sensor information comprises fluid sensor information.

10. A method for wellsite control, the method comprising:

at a computing device:

receiving primary sensor information from one or more first sensors;

inputting the primary sensor information into a machine learning (ML) model, wherein the ML model is configured to receive the primary sensor information and, based on prior training datasets, determine one or more notification options based at least partially on the primary sensor information;

determining, via the ML model, the one or more notification options based at least partially on the primary sensor information;

providing for display of a graphical interface, wherein the graphical interface comprises a first sub-window showing the primary sensor information and the graphical interface further comprises a second sub-window showing the one or more notification options based at least partially on the primary sensor information;

receiving, via the graphical interface, input data indicating a suggested notification from the one or more notification options;

sending the suggested notification to a notification destination;

receiving a confirmation of the suggested notification from the notification destination, wherein the confirmation of the suggested notification includes an indication of an action taken in conjunction with the suggested notification;

recording the confirmation of the suggested notification in the ML model; and

training the ML model based on the confirmation of the suggested notification;

receiving secondary sensor information from one or more second sensors, wherein the secondary sensor information is based at least partially on the primary sensor information;

inputting the secondary sensor information into the ML model, wherein the ML model is configured to receive the secondary sensor information and the primary sensor information and, based on the prior training datasets, determine the one or more notification options in response based at least partially on the secondary sensor information; and

determining, via the ML model, the one or more notification options based at least partially on the secondary sensor information.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the primary sensor information includes at least one of surface sensor information, downhole sensor information, a physical location of the one or more first sensors, at least one environmental condition of a wellsite, and at least one operating condition of the wellsite.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the suggested notification includes a control command of at least one equipment.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the control command of the at least one equipment is automated control of the at least one equipment.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the suggested notification includes a user ID of a remote user providing a user input data.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the suggested notification includes transmitting at least part of the primary sensor information to the notification destination.

16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first sub-window and the second sub-window are simultaneously displayed within the graphical interface to allow for comparing at least part of the primary sensor information and the one or more notification options.

17. A system for wellsite control, the system comprising:

at least one sensor located at a wellsite;

a computing device in data communication with the at least one sensor, the computing device including:

a processor,

a hardware storage device having instructions stored thereon, that when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to:

receive sensor information from the at least one sensor;

input the sensor information into a machine learning (ML) model, wherein the ML model is configured to receive the sensor information and, based on prior training datasets, determine one or more notification options based at least partially on the sensor information;

determine, via the ML model, the one or more notification options based at least partially on the sensor information;

provide for display of a graphical interface, wherein the graphical interface comprises a first sub-window showing the sensor information and the graphical interface further comprises a second sub-window showing the one or more notification options based at least partially on the sensor information;

receive, via the graphical interface, input data indicating a suggested notification from the one or more notification options;

send the suggested notification to a notification destination;

receive a confirmation of the suggested notification from the notification destination, wherein the confirmation of the suggested notification includes an indication of an action taken in conjunction with the suggested notification;

record the confirmation of the suggested notification in the ML model: and

train the ML model based on the confirmation of the suggested notification;

receive secondary sensor information from one or more second sensors, wherein the secondary sensor information is based at least partially on the sensor information;

input the secondary sensor information into the ML model, wherein the ML model is configured to receive the secondary sensor information and the sensor information and, based on the prior training datasets, determine the one or more notification options in response based at least partially on the secondary sensor information; and

determine, via the ML model, the one or more notification options based at least partially on the secondary sensor information.
