System, Program Product, and Method For Drilling Rig Activity Accounting and Visualization
First Claim
1. A system (20, 20′
- ) to monitor drilling rig activity and to provide and manage drilling rig information, the system (20, 20′
) comprising a communication network (22), and at least one computer defining a drilling rig information management server (24, 24′
) positioned at a data center in communication with the communication network (22) to provide user access to drilling rig information, the drilling rig information management server (24, 24′
) including a processor (30) and memory (26) in communication with the processor (30), the system (20, 20′
) being characterized by;
a rig information, database (38, 38′
) accessible to the processor (30) of the drilling rig information management server (24, 24′
) and including drilling rig activity data containing drilling rig location data for a plurality of drilling rigs;
drilling rig information management program product stored in the memory (26) of the drilling rig information management server (24, 24′
) and including instructions that when executed by the processor (30) of the drilling rig information management server (24, 24′
) cause the server (24, 24′
) to perform the operations of;
retrieving drilling rig location data from the database (38, 38′
) responsive to user selection of a geospatial location attribute,accessing digital mapping data to display a digital map associated with the user selected geospatial location attribute, andproviding data to display indicia of a drilling rig location for at least one drilling rig overlaid upon and spatially oriented to at least portions of the digital map.

Abstract
A system to monitor drilling rig activity and to provide and manage drilling rig information, program product, and associated methods are provided. The system can include a communication network, a drilling rig information management server, a database accessible to the processor of the server, and drilling rig information management program product stored in the memory of the drilling rig information management server and including instructions that when executed by the processor of the drilling rig information management server cause the server to perform the operations of retrieving drilling rig location data from the database responsive to user selection of a geospatial location attribute, accessing digital mapping data to display a digital map associated with the user selected geospatial location attribute, and providing data to display indicia of a drilling rig location for at least one drilling rig overlaid upon and spatially oriented to at least portions of the digital map.
