Abstract

Systems and methods for remote monitoring of a wellsite operation may include receiving login information from a user and displaying a wellsite listing. The user may select at least one wellsite and may provide input regarding at least one parameter of interest for the at least one wellsite. A server may receive data regarding the at least one wellsite via a transceiver from a sensor disposed at a wellsite measuring the at least one parameter of interest. The data regarding the at least one parameter of interest may be transmitted as a dashboard after creation and rendering of teh dashboard at a server. The dashboard may be displayed via a wellsite information display module on a personal mobile device. The display of the at least one parameter of interest is customizable by the user or administrator of the system.

Claims

1. A system for remote monitoring of a wellsite operation, the system comprising:

at least one processor;

at least one memory;

the at least one processor executing the steps comprising;

receiving login information;

displaying a wellsite listing;

receiving a selection of at least one wellsite;

receiving user input regarding at least one parameter of interest for the at least one wellsite;

receiving data regarding the at least one wellsite via a transceiver from a sensor disposed at a wellsite measuring the at least one parameter of interest from a wellsite operation, wherein the data regarding the at least one parameter of interest is transmitted as a dashboard, based on the user input regarding the at least one parameter of interest, after creation and rendering of the dashboard at a server;

storing the data in the at least one memory; and

displaying the dashboard via a wellsite information display module on a personal mobile device, wherein the display of the at least one parameter of interest is customizable by the user or administrator of the system.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the data passes through an information handling system in data communication with the sensor prior to reaching the personal mobile device.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein more than one parameter of interest are displayed simultaneously.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the wellsite operation is chosen from the group consisting of:

a drilling operation, a logging operation, a completion operation, and a production operation.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising a transceiver, wherein the transceiver comprises at least one of a cellular phone transceiver, a WiFi transceiver, and a satellite phone transceiver.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising transmitting information from the portable mobile device to the wellsite.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the transmitting information comprises transmitting command operations for actuating an activity at the wellsite.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the personal mobile device is at least one of a smartphone, a personal digital assistant, and a satellite phone.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein software is installed on a personal mobile device operating system and runs independently of other device applications.

10. A method of remotely monitoring a wellsite operation, the method comprising:

receiving, at a server, a measurement of one or more wellsite parameters of interest from a wellsite;

receiving, at the server, a request for a dashboard comprising at least one of the one or more wellsite parameters of interest from a personal mobile device;

creating, at the server, a dashboard based upon user input regarding a desired formatting and display of the one or more wellsite parameters of interest;

rendering, at the server, the dashboard; and

transmitting, by the server, the dashboard to the personal mobile device for displaying the dashboard on the personal mobile device.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein a menu selection on the personal mobile device allows a user to interactively select the formatting and display of the one or more wellsite parameters of interest.

12. The method of claim 10, further comprising receiving commands from the personal mobile device to change an operational parameter at the wellsite.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising transmitting the commands to the wellsite for actuating an activity at the wellsite.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein the personal mobile device is at least one of a smartphone, a personal digital assistant, and a satellite phone.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein software is installed on a personal mobile device operating system and runs independently of other device applications.

16. A computer readable medium containing a set of instructions that when executed by an information handling system causes the information handling system to perform a method comprising:

receiving login information;

displaying a wellsite listing;

receiving a selection of at least one wellsite;

receiving user input regarding at least one parameter of interest for the at least one wellsite;

receiving data regarding the at least one wellsite via a transceiver from a sensor disposed at a wellsite measuring the at least one parameter of interest from a wellsite operation, wherein the data regarding the at least one parameter of interest is transmitted as a dashboard, based on the user input regarding the at least one parameter of interest, after creation and rendering of the dashboard at a server; and

displaying the dashboard via a wellsite information display module on a personal mobile device, wherein the display of the at least one parameter of interest is customizable by the user or administrator of the system.

17. The computer readable medium of claim 16, further comprising displaying a selection menu on the personal mobile device for a user to interactively select from at least one predetermined display.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 16, further comprising displaying interactive selections to allow a user to transmit a change in an operational parameter to the wellsite.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 18, further comprising transmitting commands to the wellsite for actuating an activity at the wellsite.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 16, wherein software is installed on a personal mobile device operating system and runs independently of other device applications.
