MOBILE OPERATION SUPPORT CENTER
First Claim
1. A mobile operation support center for supporting an oilfield operation, comprising:
- one or more tables, each table having a plurality of legs, each leg having a wheel attached thereto;
a computer mounted to each table, the computer being equipped with multiple independent video outputs;
one or more monitor displays disposed on top of each table, each monitor display being connected to one of the video outputs of the computer; and
at least one video matrix switch mounted to each table, the at least one video matrix switch being connected to the video outputs of the computer and operable to provide one or more of the video outputs of the computer to an external display device;
wherein the one or more tables and the computer mounted thereto may be moved from one room to another in a substantially assembled state for supporting the oilfield operation.

Abstract
Modular mobile operation support center for supporting oilfield operations is disclosed that overcomes the lack of mobility or quick-response capability of existing solutions and well as other problems. The modular mobile operation support center comprises one or more portable, self-contained modules or stations, each module or station capable of providing real-time surveillance of remote oilfield operations. The portable, self-contained modules or stations allow the mobile operation support center to be quickly and easily moved from one location to another in a substantially assembled state to support an oilfield operation. Appropriately-trained oilfield personnel, such as drilling engineers, geosteering coordinators, and the like, may then use the mobile operation support center to monitor well-site operations and other remote oilfield operations either at their own facility or at a client'"'"'s facility.
