Method of monitoring service operations of a service vehicle at a well site
First Claim
1. A method of monitoring service operations at a well site comprising:
- determining a well site identifier of the well site;
sensing a variable associated with the service operation;
storing on an electrical data storage device a first digital value representative of the well site identifier, and a second digital value representative of the variable associated with the fluid, thereby creating a stored data record; and
communicating the stored data record to a remote location relative to the well site.

Abstract
A method monitors servicing operations of a vehicle capable for example of pumping various fluid treatments down into a well being serviced at a well site. The method records the vehicle'"'"'s engine speed and the values of one or more service-related variables, such as pressure, temperature, flow rate, and pump strokes per minute. These variables are recorded as a function of the time of day in accordance with when they were sensed, and are associated with a well site identifier to form a data record. Global Positioning System data associated with the service vehicle assists in determining the well site identifier or can constitute the well site identifier. In some embodiments, the data record is communicated over a wireless communication link from a remote well site to a central office.

11. A method using a service vehicle for monitoring service operations at a well site, wherein the well site is associated with a well site identifier, comprising:
-
determining a first value indicative of the well site identifier;
sensing at least one second value associated with the service operation;
creating a data record at the vehicle comprising the first value and the at least one second value; and
electronically communicating the data record from the vehicle to a location remote to the well site.
